More power , faster :D
ohh cant wait till i get my damn money from work ^^ :p:
after that but me my new stuff and start have some oc fun :p: :p:
Broke 30K last night: 30195 :D
i think it doesn't matter with the rage theater chip and power connector, Ati silencer will not cover that place, and the back just cover the memory.Quote:

What cooling is everyone using on there RAM? I've left the little heatsinks on the top of my card and they dont seem to get that hot, not as hot as my big copper ones do on the bottom if theres no fan blowing over it, guessing the tape they use really locks the heat on the RAM. Might change the little ones to some nice tweakmonster ones like on the underside as i have them lying in a box ready.
Done a test 2k3 run, computer hadnt been restarted for a day or 2 and got 12504, unfortunately i cant just select the needed tests as i dont have a proper copy so it takes ages to run.
Any really good tweaks for 2k3 as i havent done any yet.

my new cpu should be here thursday. claw/newcastle core. 3500+ AS
Very nice radcruiser. I found out that my memory will do 600 easy last night. Helped me get to over 30K. Now it is time to work on some DirectX 9 benchmarks. :toast:
Hi peeps,
ive managed to flash the X850XT bios onto my X800XL after modifying the clocks with rabit1.7, but i gained absolutely nothing. I would like the bios greg101 (the guy over at rage3d) used before I denounce that flashing most definatley doesnt help.
I used both the ATI X850XT reference bios + the sapphire X850XT bios but both showed exactly the same behaivior, no overclock improvement on the core.
hope other peeps also try to flash the bios and report back their findings, it was pretty straight forward.

-EDIT-
Whoops wrong thread, doh
whats safe to go upto on the vmods on the x800xl? on water for gpu. anyone done then to the connect3d x800xl yet? did they work
charlie
Where's the DI??? :D
I'm gonna be in with my new BBATI X800XL on water and vmods next week.
İ want buy a sapphire x800xl and artic cooling 5
But it hasnt got power connector.
This is big problem for o/c
No, in theory the lack of the power connector is NOT a problem for o/c. The PCI-E bus should provide 75w of power to the card, which should be enough for the card. I thought the new PCI-E revision allowed for 150w...but I could be wrong on that.Quote:

Where did you get this information? I am sure the DFI can provide more power than spec'ed because it has a couple of extra power connectors there.
I think it was maybe someone on Hardforums...I'll see if I can dig it up though.
n/m...here's a link to the PCI SIG...
http://www.pcisig.com/specifications...ress/graphics/
Good info.
1) Is there a date on it? Can't see one.
2) Do any of the manufacturers tout implementing it?
My pci express bus specification is version 1.0a :)
That link doesn't say about anything "a" version. Besides, just because the PCI-E specification allows for 150W, it doesn't mean that the mobos implement it. I wonder where the 75W figure I had in my mind comes from.
I use this one fore my PC x800xl http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.p...1&data=7&disc=
gona clock tomorrow It´s been doing 450/560 Atitool 0.1.24b.3 but I got more time to check it tomorrow and in a closed case at room temp 22 celcius
but I will try ATITool_0[1].24b6.exe in stead
not sure...but I do know that I saw a review of the Fortron Blue Storm that mentioned that Fortron themselves had said that the BS would only be able to supply 75w to the PCI-E bus. I used google to find the review. I was tossed up between that one and the OCZ Powerstream.
İ have got tagan 480w
sapphire has got two different pcb red and blue
Which pcb is good
they should both be the same pcb except for the color. I've seen some pics of both the red and blue pcbs and they were identical (except for the color of course).
Charlie is that a BBA X800XL? If not, what brand is it?
Yeah mine is straight from ATI SHOP, BBATI with the "inferior 2nS ram" that only does 612mHz... hehehehe.Quote:

what voltage is your ram running at? did you change any timings in it to get it that high???? mine won't seem to go past 575 :(Quote:
