I`m running a Vapo unit on a 5950u BIOS flashed 5900u golden sample card and the thing will not reconize negitive temps, it goes down to zero then resets at 255* and starts to count down from there setting the power failure error and extreem throttling. I found a workaround with the 45.23 drivers if I boot into windows and go to the temp display then unplug the power from the VC vapo unit the temp of the card will raise to 255 then go to zero, I reboot and it locks the temp at zero and then I can run and OC it. But the 45.23 don`t see the card as a fx5950u and I`m sure the 5*.** drivers would give alot better performance.
...sept the temp trick won`t work with them. The temp rises up to about 270* then goes straight to 16 above passing right over zero and then not being able to be locked at zero.....it just keeps reading the right temp and when the vapo is restarted the temp goes back down under 16 and into the high 200`s.
can someone dissable the temp function in the drivers??? Or reset the temp scale to fool it into thinking -23* was realy 13* so it would start and run propper as a fx5950u without a fancy startup procedure and the extreem throttling??

Hi Ruk, I read about this problem somwhere and I know that ther's a solution to avoid throttling effect.
I'll try to dig it out for ya.. I hope :)

How are you m8, anyway?

Managed to connect PC to tv?

no, I never did figure that out, and was told the resolution was crap on a TV anyway, so just gave up.
Right now I have the 6th fastest XP processor powered FX5950u at the futuremark 03 bench compare, and I`m the only FX5950u/FX5900u not running 50 series drivers. :(

That's a bummer... (:

I was massively busy y'day and it'll continue t'day so t'morrow hopefully I should be able to do some digging for ya m8 :)

Res for tv should be set to max 800x600 on your PC/Notebook...
anyways no worries, since there are peeps using 50 dets it is possible then, it's just a matter of finding out how to do it ;)

or if someone could MOD a fx5900u\fx5950u BIOS to either dissable the temp, or 'fix' the core temp to be like 5* above whatever the card reads as ambiant, that would keep the card from throttling too. Then any driver version could be used.

Yeah, I was thinking about Vid BIOS mod to disable temp meonitoring function but the only tools I got are for ATi BIOS'es..:(
What about RivaTuner and registry tweak? Temp monitoring is done from driver level, isn't it? Itis not pure h'ware function?

the temp is hardware based but driver interpited(sp?).
I don`t know of any RivaTuner temp tricks or registry tweaks.. :(
