6600gt thrtl probs @ low temps

[The Byter]

Hi

I use a Leadtek 6600GT Xtreme Edition and I cool it with Swiftech MCW-50T (80W TEC)

The damn thing will thrtl when ever it feels like it, I tried some bioses and some trick but none is good for now.

2D vgpu: 1.424v
3D vgpu: 1.444v

This r pix of the original bios readings:

I can't see your pics... but I know that the temperature monitoring stuff is set to throttle at 145 C. I'm guessing that the temp diode is doing that weird thing where it reads as some high temperature at sub zero temps (like the AMD64s do). I'd set the "Core Slowdown Threshold" to something really high with a NiBiTor altered bios. Good luck!

What temps does rviatuner report when you are getting you throttling ?

it will not show temps lower then +32C

The winfox (leadtek util) will show as low as +1C temp idle

The nVidia cold throttle continues looks like...there is basically no realistic solution to this problem, and likely never will be. Problem is a combination of crummy BIOS and crummy temp. diodes. The Asus cards won't have this problem, at least not for 6800 cards, not sure about 6600s.
