I'm afraid that it won't work...i think this is the leakage issue that made the r520's lifespan so short, coming out and biting us in the butt.

Nice 24 clock persivore! What temps do you have at those speeds?
The GPU gets up to about 52*c under load, cooled with a maze4 GPU block. I think the mount might be bad tho.Quote:

I've seen the voltage regulator temperature at 95*c before, running 1.35v Vgpu and 2.35v Vdd (with no airflow). It didn't seem to do any damage to the card, but I'm not going to run it that hot again any time soon ;)
Yeah...I think I have one of the chips that has the bug...this sux.
on a bright side(this was even before I flashed the card)...I have been able to run CS:Source for hours with the card at 630/693...1.175v.
I compared the 3 different BIOS'es with a HEX editor and they are the exact same thing. (a note that the BIOS says that the default voltage is 1.065v...not 1.075 in ATI tools or 1.050 in ATI's internal OC tool) There's nothing custom about these BIOS'es.
Wow...670 core on 1.2v...I'm pretty sure I can hit 700+ if only my card would take more volts...my load temp is ony 49, with environment temp of 30, and power regulator temps of no more than 70 (I think that can be done better with better cooler...delta between idle/load on the regulators is 20C).
Hello everybody and happy new year :toast:
I have read the topic for two months and I have overclock my Sapphire X1800XL while taking the advice of the topic. Thank you.
Thus here are what I obtain:
http://img473.imageshack.us/img473/5...57152vm.th.jpg
Vgpu:1,27V, Ram:2,21V and 2,03V in H2O with a 1A-SL2.
I have some questions:
- I do not increase more the memory (max 720), the tension max of the memory is well of 2,2V. Then how to make the memory more? I saw people here with the memory at 750-800.
- For is the GPU, which the tension max? I am tested 725 with the same voltage but 3Dmark05 crash.:mad:
Thank you for your assistance (sorry, if my english is not perfect, I'm French)
nice score man.... try 1.3-1.35V on the GPU
yes...up the vCore...ur GPU temp is 37 idle...u should be able to do 1.35 easily...
The memory scales with the GPU voltage more than vMem
Thanks, I will try with 1,3V tomorow
GPU temps is 34 idle and 43 load :D
I tell you the results.
My card is bugged also won't take anything higher than 1.175 under water.
1.2v hardlocks the card.
The R520 cores on these x1800XL's are crap.
I may have to go nvidia to get a nice OC with my Watercool rig.
Your card isn't bugged, it works at it's advertised operating freqency and voltage. Why are you people incessant on feeling like you've gotten ripped off. If you want guaranteed clock rates, pay more money and get them. There is a reason why these cores don't go any higher, BECAUSE THEY DON'T GO ANY HIGHER. That is why they are XL cards and NOT XT.
You get what you pay for, and you did.
Get over it already.
do any of you guys get artifacts instantly in ati tool using the "scan for artifacts" button at stock speeds/voltages?
I do.Quote:

So I opened the 3D renderer and it looked funny did not think anything of it. Tried OCing with 0 results
In fact it artifacted at stock It artifacted at =100MHz and at -200MHz
WTF Was going on. So I decided to pull the card visually inspected it made sure everything was attached, nothing loose etc
Just hooked up my main monitor since I was going to be RMAIng the card most likely
and
It worked
I ran the clocks up on it about 11% with no artifacting
Hmm
Reattached second monitor artifacts away
Taught me something that day :)
Just something to consider only run one monitor when OCing
What's the best aftermarket cooler for the card?
I have no problems with 2 monitors and my XL Ocing. Have you the 2 sreens separatly on each output?
About the "scan for artifacts", it's don't work propelly with ATI X1xxx cards. To check your oc, run one test of 3Dmark.;)
I have a question for you boys! It's okay that every X1800XL owners are overclock his own card but when you're playing games what frequencies do you use? I left stock, 'cause no games can kill this card:)
i can overclock quite a bit yet games are unstable even at stock:stick:Quote:

Anyway...ATI Tool will report artifacts... W1zzard changed the 3D box and the scanning to create more heat. The scanning process works on older cards. You can choose to use the old way to scan for artifacts in the settings to overcome this problem.
I've been playing CS:Source without much problems lately on 630/693, vCore = 1.175v (higher results in immediate lockup at any frequency)
Yes, it's game stable and artifacts free but i can't OC that much without getting arties, they start to appear around 550MHz core and would require 1.170/1.175 to go away and eventualy allow 630MHz clean on the core but most of the time it would just blackscreen with that volts :stick:Quote:

BTW go ahead and get Nvidia when the shimmering ain't killing ya, the lousy AA will. I had the 7800 GTX and the 7800 GTX 512. They sucked in most games as far as IQ. And in COD2 I had to run 1024x768 online with the GTX 512 otherwise framerate was about 30. The XT at 1280x1024 with aa/af runs 60+. Sure 3dmark TOLD me it was faster - but when is the last time anyone PLAYED 3dmark?!
There is a reason you have another $150 in pocket - and thats because you went with the XL with the hopes of overclocking - hope are just hopes - buy an XT and get over it already.
Mine works fine at overclocked speeds. Still tweaking it over time but im maxed or near maxed on memory. Still might beable to get it stable at 730 without to much trouble, but the core is semi near max stability.Quote:

Keep in mind also the XT's use 1.4V when they go into 3D mode, and the XL's don't even have a 2D/3D mode switch like the XT.

I can run at 600/1500 (1.125/2.1/2.0) 24/7, i wish my core would do a meager 1.5v but oh well my mem can do XT speeds
I am not complaining just wishing My Watercooling was slowing down my OC not my card :)
I hope the r580 is awsome overclocker, might have to give those awhirl :)
Quick question;
I just got my Connect3D X1800XL the other day. Haven't done much with it [other issues to deal with] but I've recently started to play with it. Using ATI Tool .25 beta 10 I get artifacts with everything at stock, nothing major but still stuff pops up.
Also I've heard that .12 and .13 drivers are generally bad so I went with the 5.11's, since installing them I don't have the CCC and can't find a place to disable VPU recover, help?
The artifacts that u see in ATI tool is normal. It is an improved 3D/scanning method to increase the heat generated. It does not work well with X1800s yet.
You can disable it from Settings --> Artifact Scanning --> Use old scanning method
and get beta 11 while ur at it ;)
Bah, my card hardlocks at 550 core and/or 1.175 vCore. Ram hit 630 then locked [locked, no artifacts at all], didn't go above 2v on the ram.
umm, help? would the Sapphire BIOS help at all or did I just land a poor clocker?
try less vcore, mine locks at 1.175 even at stock speed, once i figured that out I got my mem up to 750:banana:Quote:

I hate to tell u this but...honestly...ur card is like mine...it just won't clock well.
1.175v is unstable in most cases...anything above hard locks right away.
I'm doing 630/693 with 1.175/2.1/2.0 on water, ramsinks, and 2 80mm cards below it.
New 3DMark05 score:

I love it :banana:
Anybody know if there is a X1800xt (256mb) bios that could be used to flash these cards?
Think a few did some bios flashes but with the 512mb bios's and such and no luck. You got to make sure it can run at the voltages before you even attempt a flash I think otherwise you could be in for a serious problem.Quote:

Might just be my card - but proceed with caution.Quote:

Okay, just an update on my card.
When using the OverClocker tool alone [NO ATITool] I've run 3D05 @ 580 / 657 with voltages of 1.15, 2.05, 2.00 and I'm still going, no artifacts in site, stock cooling.
But is there any reason why ATI Tool would cause my hard to hardlock at 550 core, 620 mem or any real voltage change? and more importantly can I set my card to boot with the voltage & clock increases?
Finally, with the 580 / 1.3 run I had my Winny @ 2.2ghz, 220mhz 2-2-2 on the RAM and got 8k in 05, it seemed kinda low compared to what everyone else is nabbing but is it just the lower clocks?
thanks
EDIT: Just an update, I've got things running smoothly now, I use the OverClock tool to set voltages and clocks then if i close that and use ATITool I can run the artifact scanner & save profiles which I believe I can boot into Windows with, going to try some lower clocked versions first though to be sure.
Final clocks ATM are;
Stock Cooling, Antec SuperLanboy case
[120mm intake & exhaust, IMO good cable hiding, sound card in bottom PCI slot, PCI cover next to XL off to let air in]
everything else as the sig reads
X1800XL
580mhz core, 1.35ghz ram
1.15 vGPU, 2.05 MVDDR, 2.00 MVDDQ [in Overclock tool]
1.125 vGPU, 2.037 MVDDR, 1.987 MVDDQ [reported in ATI Tool]
hopefully with have watercooling up and running soon
I don't think that the problem is only in clocks, because I ran at much higher clocks (738 Core/720 Mem) and I get a simillar result as you. But in my case the fault may lie on bad cpu (Prescott 3.2@3.8), but still.

Next is with Overclocker tool
http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/1258/18jp.th.jpg
Strange e?Really high clocks but low score.
Next,It happens something strange.Used Ati tool n got with lower clocks better score!

And last,pushed it to these clocks.But stopped cause I have stock cooling...These cards are Hottt...

The only thing for sure is that these cards have something like a cold bug.
Same hereQuote:

I think the reason for your scores is that ATI Tool does not loosen the RAM timings whereas the OC tool does
My Asus EAX1800XL doesnt seem to be able to go over 564 on the core and the ram seems to not like being at 600. Using the Overdrive features in catalyst crash most 3d apps. Im thinking my card is a rotten egg for oc'ing
I'm fairly sure enabling overdrive is bad for OCing the XL. You need to disable all ATI based services [run services.msc].
Also apparantly you're supposed to use ATI Tool to set voltages & error check whilst using the Overclock tool to set clocks [if that's the case then all my Ocing has been stock voltes :O]
I am using only Ati Tool to overclocking.
Max stable 630mhz / 700mhz voltages : 1.125 / 2.060 /2.0 v
If I try to up the vgpu the card is not stable anymore. :confused:
Is the core crap or what? Using water cooling , max temps are below 40c
Even in stock speeds if I up the vgpu voltage 1.150 or more its not stable anymore.
Is there anything I can do? Any similar results?
I have a real big problem.. My card is not stable at all when temps go below 55'C.. It's very weird. The card started artefacting and erroring after I changed the default cooler to zalman VF700-Cu.. At first I didn't understand what was wrong but yesterday I opened the window to do some OC and windows crashed(default clocks) after some 10 seconds.. The way it crashes is also weird - everything goes on, I just can't see anything on the monitor.. Sometimes I get weird stripes on a black background instead of the already usual blackscreen.. Should I RMA it or something?
Ow, missed post my results ;)
Here I tested for max voltage on the core, looks like no more than 1.3v on XL GPU :( But with that I was able to hit 700 Mhz core, memory I will clock later, but 700 Mhz I can get!
For 24/7 usage at the moment I am useing 1.25v @ 650 Mhz, looks ok at the moment, here are my results of lock up from GPU, votages and clocks:
ATITool 0.25 b12 3D stabile for lockups some minutes!
VGPU Core Overclock Mhz
1.075v 550
1.100v 575
1.125v 594
1.150v 610
1.175v 630
1.200v 640
1.225v 659
1.250v 675
1.275v 685
1.300v 702
Looks pretty ok for XL core :toast: Hope to get somewere from 670 - 690 for 24/7 :woot:
I bought a Connect3D X1800XL from newegg. Had it for about 3 weeks. It put out artifacts from day 1 and it has NEVER been overclocked. I even tried to significantly downclock it just to see what would happen and it still artifacts. I've got a replacement on the way (RMA), but I wonder if it will help, or if Connect3D's supply of chips is bad??? They use the ati reference board so that shouldn't be an issue, but who knows. I've got 36 amps on 12v (total) btw, so thats not the problem. I think the fan is making a grinding sound after the computer has been off for a while, too.Quote:

i have too wait , but they are nice cards ;)
I didn't read through all 27 pages, but does anybody else get yellow dots appearing in ATITool when overclocking, but it doesn't detect any artifacts? I'm not really sure what to do when this happens.
yep, thats what happens to me.
Do you just ignore them?
turn on the old scanning method. it should be fine that way..
here my sapphire with a very crappy core, every V above 1,075 gives me errors
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1754873
Ignore the whole scanning period. Its still buggy and will error out either way. Best way I've found to test stability is to run rthdribl for a few hours then check and first see if its still running, then look at the screen and see if it has artifacts, then moving to a loop of 3d mark is the next best thing. After that you can usually say then its stable.Quote:

stock cooling (just bought vf-700)
temps 60-78
625/650 so far too much time to see each individual mhz
1.17/2.0/2.0 my mem i just boosted it up to eliminate the voltage factor.
600/600 only requires 1.5/1.856/1.856
highest ive gone is like 640/ 675 volts unknown.
but yea it seems the AIW cards kick some @$$!!
EDIT 3d mark05 is 89xx 06 is 37xx
will update results later. Nice seeing u deathman. wish u linked me to this place from ocforums.com
Ya its hard since you have to go by what someone posted in there title. I think ViperJon would have the record if he posted his. I know I scored 4340, which someone can beat thats for sure, since I have a decent OC on my CPU but it definatly can be better. And the card was just bearly at a XT lvl when I ran that bench.Quote:

oops sorry did mean 1.17
Whats your temps? I know when I was scoring mine it would hit around 60-62C doing normal ops.Quote:

Well played with my clocks slightly. Figured out what was holding me back and why it seemed I was really suckin on my higher voltages with little effect in core speed.
Well whats in my sig works perfectly fine 580.5/730 w/ 1.15/2.203/2.004V I've been running at 580.5/702 w/ 1.15/2.104/2.004V for a while now. But what ever it seems taking that extra volts to get to 700 seemed to be hindering higher clocks with higher voltages.
For instance 600 was stable with 1.2V with sometimes. This is with the memory at 702 2.104/2.004V. More volts didn't seem to help with the issue so I thought about downclocking the mem slightly to see what happened. Well got this stable 621/688.5 w/ 1.2/2.075/2.004V. I know I can do 695 on the memory at this voltage but playing it safe and conserving the extra OC for stability at least on the memory. It gets to roughly 62C core compared to 57-58C at my previous clocks, but at least its a decent boost which I like.
I've tried lowering the memory speed/voltage more but it doesn't seem to have an affect on the overall core OC. Just a little intresting thing I found just figured people might want to try if there pushing there 1.4ns ram close to 700Mhz and see if it helps them OC the core all that much more. Overall the core OC helps more then the ram so overall a nice gain.
Have any of you guys had problems with overclocker.exe?
When I start it i get the messeage; "Error reading video BIOS".
It can maybe bee my X300SE in the second 16x-port...
ppl say the overclocker.exe relaxes timings.Quote:

not bad
get get much higher with out adding substantial volts to the core. can even hit 560 stable with 1.225 yea im stable 1.2 at 650
And you want to know why this is? Its because your core can't take the voltage. Thats why mostly these cores are XL's instead of XT's because they can't handle the voltage that well. For instance my limit is 1.275 that gives problems right away, 1.25 I can stay at for a while but issues will arise from it. 1.225 is stable for me but I play it a little safe and just go with 1.2 right now to give me that little extra room to play with.Quote:

I tested my HIS XL before, 650,70 / 630 with stock cooler and 1,2v. I don't think I will go higher, the temps are really high. I'll pu my waterblock on it tomorrow. I got 9334 3dmarks on my 24/7 config (that is alot of services an cpu at 11x250)
I don't understand why my mems clocks so bad, 650 gives alot of artis in windows, and 700 is messed up =) I suspect that I may have 1,6ns chips or that the timings are too tight. I am using ATI-Tool.
Been running 2.165v for ~3-4 hours gaming sessions many times without a hiccup. Not on stock cooling tho', using vf700cu here.Quote:

I just got a Connect3d X1800XL in for some playing. Hooked it up into my water set up,opened the windows for a nice 6c ambient and started playing around a bit. So far i have managed to hit 630mhz with just 1.1v, scoring 8100 in 05. Haven't touched the mem yet either.

darn, my maze4 needs a new top to fit, and my mems are 2.0ns :( I thought that XL had 1,4ns and some 1,6. What does your cards have?
Nah, not with 1.9v :p: I dig up my notes and found that i was in fact using 2.80v (and not the 2.269 i mentionned previously) with 2.001vddq for 760Mhz with very light artifacting so yesterday i tested a knew high with 2.85v and no more arties :DQuote:

You don't wan't to use overclocker for volts, it's for clocks only but then again, i just don't see the point except for Mhz braggin' rights cos' even if it allows higher clocks the scores are horrible, i'm getting incredibly bad perfs with overclocker.Quote:

They gave me a ~300Marks bonus from the 5.13s in 05, didn't try 06 with the 6.2s, CPU tests make me sick.Quote:

Nice score man. What voltage are you using on the core?Quote:

Very nice... One of the luckier ones that can use high voltage.Quote:
