I will have a capacitor *special* offer :D, read the next update of the document... coming very soon.Quote:

OK... some 6800-cards might be BS-affected. In this thread one post (I could not remember 'name') with MSI 6800 having BS.Quote:

SikaRippa is 'out-of-office' (vacation = BS ? :rolleyes: ) -> 25.7.2005 (I will *REALLY* be out of this project for a while i.e. answer questions only FEW times before that)
i thought the Asus cards didnt BS!!!???
the idiots at the company im dealin with are now saying that they wont exchange my faulty MSI for a different card and are offering me a refund, which im guessing will be 180 pounds.
What does everyobidy think is the best card i can buy for that?
Take ASUS or GT to avoid these problems
He said so!
In the EU it's like this:
When a company tries to change a product 3 times without success you can get your money back.
so what about the Gigabyte GV-N68128DH (128 MB) ??? any reports of BS problems with that?
its one of the silent cooler ones, a 6800le
other wise im looking at the Asus V9999 or V9999GT
any advice?
Is it a passive one?
Haven't heard yet about BS with Gigabyte but the Passive card runs much too hot.
There is a high success rate in activating Pipelines with Asus Card.
yeah, its the passive one.
noise is important to me and ive read in one review that the Asus 9999GT (128MB) fan is noisy and doesnt vary in speed according to use, which is odd because Asus says it does.....
i have read the passive gigabyte can run hot but i never get to play heavy games for more than a couple of hours at a time anyway.....
damn i dont know what to do!
:confused:
i think the guys that did that Asus review must have forgotten to install the Smartdoctor software because they said it was really noisy and i cant find any other reviews that mention it being noisy
im leaning more towards the Asus
Hehe no, i just flashed in the 9999 bios. It ups the voltage to the core, also the standard clockrates.Quote:

I think refund/ASUS/anything is better than a NEW MSI, since there is no guarantee to get a working one from MSI/(GW).Quote:

This card have the same PCB as MSI/GW/etc., so in theory it can give BS (I have not heard any comments yet: BS or non-BS)

Still having vacation = no internet :( , so I will not propably answer next time not until ~ a week.
(I edited the quote, which was a wrong one)
Nice, I hope (sure) you had good time :DQuote:

€dit:
Game had problems!
Someone get this problem too?
Get them in every game now:
System freezes for about 5 secons, then game continues.
With 1,3V this bug got really extreme... 5second freeze...3seconds play...5secons freeze....3secons play...
Now I only get this bug once a hour.
I'M now having a 16V 1650uf Cap in TP9 and TP10.
Let's see if the problems are gone.
Can somebody tell me why I can't oc my memory higher than 840mhz without artifacts?
The specs of the memory say that it should do 900mhz+
It's Hynix 2,2ns.
€dit2:
I downloaded the datasheet and they should run at 450mhz
VDD 2,8V VDDQ 2,8V
Can someone give me the measure points?
Sorry, I quoted a wrong post.. Gigabyte comments were for dandamanQuote:

About OC of memories. Those chips are more or less unique so the OC-cabability varies. As you can see (already seen ;) ) the more speed is used the more voltage is required. A voltage of 2.8 V is indeed for 450 MHz operation (2.72 V is a normal voltage). If you want the alter memory voltage please take a look post #1 (the BS document) in chapter 'Memory voltage modification'. There is a VERY easy way to do it. The measure points are between TP10 and TP9 (surprise !!)
I measured my Rams and they show 2,7V.
So when I do a vMod to about 2,8V-2,9V they have to do the 900mhz, right?
Tomorrow I will use some better caps.
When using TP9-Ground cap I don't need to do a TP1-Ground cap, is that right?
Currently I am not having a BS or freezing with the new cap,
but sometimes I get BS during booting. When the system has booted up all is fine.
Does VDD tracks to VDDQ automatically?
yeah, thats the one!
i had decided on the ASUS GT but the offer on the site i had seen it on for 150 pounds has just ended! damn it.
ive found the Asus 6800 LE for 120 pounds! hows that then? the Asus LE is BS free right?
Sorry, Took a little bit again to answer :(Quote:

Yes, if you have cap between TP10-TP9 you do not need cap in TP1, since those nodes are the shorted inside the card TP10 = TP1.
It is quite wierd to get BS while booting... exactly in what point ? Before windows is starting ?
Is there anything *sure* in world .. but I have NEVER heard BS-problems with ANY ASUS models, reason is totally different design of the graphic card (i.e. switching power supplies).Quote:

thanks.
unfortunately, the constantly changing situations wont allow me to. After insisting that i take a refund the supplier is refusing me a refund!
they really are useless. what i can or cant do or have depends on the day and/or customer service rep i talk to.
the latest is that they are telling me that i cant have a refund (which last week they insited i had to accept) because i bought a system and not the card alone so can only have a replacement!
:slapass:
i have to talk to the manager tomorrow to argue my case for not getting a fourth MSI card. but these idiots dont stock ASUS.
If i can manage to get a non MSI card replacement it will likely be a Connect 3D X800 Pro 256MB. fingers crossed
Sounds very *nice* company, indeed :( . Please, give a us the name of the company (just for warning for other users to avoid )Quote:

i cant belive it!
they are now refusing to do anything unless i send the WHOLE SYSTEM back to them!!!!
they clearly think its impossible for four cards to be faulty and think its the system thats causing the problem. they wont send me another card or refund me unless i send them my PC.
they dont wanna know about BS.
im gutted. :explode2:
b*astards!
the company is Watford Electronics. its a Carrera system which i bought last year and Watford bought them when they went bust in January.
ive spent 6 months chasing them. ive had more than enuf
So, that is the trick for today.. it sad such kind of companies exist :upset:Quote:

I will be 'offline' several days again, hope you get a decent deal meaning while ;)
thanks.
it wont get sorted in that time anyway!
I have a 6800le 128mb agp oem made by point of view.
It has 2 green caps which have the code: 42 470 6e
The problems it has are not the same as far as i can see (please correct me if i am wrong).
It will boot go into windows etc etc But if i try and do anything abit more 3d intensive it crashs the game/benchmarking program. ie cs.cz will go into the main menu and just crash everytime.
I have a 500w true power psu and tried all the newest drivers older ones etc etc
cleaned all the drivers out in between.
On this set up i run a 6600gt normally. Before you say yes i know the 6600gt is more powerfull....i am trying to help out a friend....and he cant rma it...so
any ideas?
mole :) :D
