I have the Asus 4850 and I ran RBE V1.12 to reflash it. I thought I understood the process to be to change Clock info 01 and Clock info 04 to GPU (MHz) 160 and RAM (MHz) 500. I downloaded the Asus Bios files made the changes and saved them. On reboot there was no change in GPU-Z.
As a test, I changed the fan speed to 100% all the time and saved that. That actually worked.
Suggestions on how to get the 160/500 to work on an Asus 4850?
Download msi bios, look on it and modify asus bios with similar settings as msi bios have.

Thanks, for that tip Pichulec! With your idea and using atiflash as the utility to flash the card, I got it to work. Now when I drop into any O/S, the card performs correctly. I don't have a floppy drive, so I had to create floppy emulation on a USB key. What a hassel!
The card is performing great now. Previously my monitor would go to black for a few seconds maybe once an hour. That issues hasn't reoccurred.
you could've just used RBE and Winflash...
no hassle at all...
I think Asus's tool simply detects their own cards which means a tool that can control the fan for all models should be possible regardless of the BIOS.
My Asus 4850 is on the way. Does the Asus card idle properly?
Any results yet on your benchmarks?
Do you know if MSI bios will work on Asus card?
Thanks!
The ASUS supports fan speed control.
I'm tempted to load the MSI bios onto my Asus EAH4850 but a little bit hesitant because it was mentioned earlier in this thread that the Asus bios was the only one that was different...
Update:
I used Radeon Bios Editor to view the MSI Clock info Settings, then just copied/edited them onto my Asus EAH4850 bios, and voila now I idle at 160/500.
I also used Asus SmartDoctor to set the fan at 48%, idle temps are 60-65. I have a GFXChilla that I've never used before - I may put that on to lower temps some more...
I have confirmed something similar. Open the bios in RBE.
With a single monitor and idling, my card runs at the value in clock info 1,2, 4, or 5. I am using the Asus cards so each of these values is 500/750.
With two monitors and idling, my card runs at the value in clock info 7,8, or 9. In the Asus bios these values are 500/933.
So it appears normal that dual monitors use different idle speeds.
I flashed Asus bios modified by RBE and now idling 160/500 at 52c Also I've done fan speed optimization recommended by RBE and my card is quiet now Thx guys for good solution

At the end I suggest to click button optimal fan speed in RBE and save the bios . My asus card is modified by that way and working at 160/500. Look
Do you know if the Aus made in June have the new Bios. Mines Idles at 500 Mhz and still pulls 43 Celcius:For all who doesn't know how to modify Asus bios. This is a bios already modified by me. Bios have a 160/500 idle clocks and corrected fan speeds to decrease noise of our cards.

Use Ati Flash or ATI Winflash to flash the bios.
Enjoy
