thanks thats what I was thinking
I didnt have the time to do much testing, but I think playing with the ram voltage didnt change anything for my max oc... it must be around 915. By using an extra fan I should go higher but I dont think its worth the extra noise :s
By the way I cant use the OC tool correctly I only use ATITOOL can u help me with that?
well not much can help with besides pointing you to the method i use thanks to SIOUX http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=1865 :)
hmmm. thanks both you guys again.
So u think Ill be able to increase the ram mhz with OC tool?
After finding the best spot, how can I keep these settings when the system boots?
Maybe I have an old version of OC tool but it didnt seem to have such an option. Should I only use atitool for that?
Last question: the voltage regulator temps go near 100C !!!
Should I cool it and how? Do u have a pic of it? :p:

Why are all the Overclocker tools set to 2d? I'm very worried about that. Mainly becuse I know of one person that is on their third X1800XT. ATI support said not to touch 2d but go crazy with 3d. I mean messing with the 2d voltage and no video on post.
When you disable ati services you disable ATI CCC's ability to jump from 2d to 3d voltages so voltages are 24/7 set to 2d only hence why you only clock with X1800 oc'ing tool in 2d clock mode
has always worked for me
right now playing with different ram to see if i can get over 12k :D
Update: Jan 14, 2006
Changed to 2x 512MB Gskill PC4400LE TCCD 431 @295mhz 2.5-3-3-6 and finally breaks 12k by 1pt LOL

Nice one on the 12K :toast:
Congrats Eva2000. 12k on water is incredible...
Good Job EVA!!:cool:
Thanks guys waiting on phase change to give my cpus a boost and see what can happen then :D
Damn, obviously I must have one of the worst clocking X1800XT out there :D
Will give the links to the benches tomorrow, but just benched my Opteron setup in sig at 0C ambient air, and got 10600+ 3d2k5 and 20600+ 3d2k3 with Opty @ 2914Mhz / 180 divider, and card at 749/855 Mhz. However, while it would be reasonable to expect 2900 Mhz benchable from a 0530TPMW dual core Opty on cold air and Big Typhoon along with 270 Mhz 2-2-2 RAM, for the card clocks mentioned earlier I need 1.525 VGPU :eek:, and cannot get over 760 core or 860 ram without 3dmark2005 showing the red grid and freezing the system :slapass: no matter what I try. Still stock cooler on the card, but load temps never reach 55C, and the card idles at 30C 100% fan speed.
Using Cats 5.13 and ATItool (beta10) + Overclocking tool o/c method, just the one thing what's weird is that Overclocker doesn't show any voltage changes when changed with ATItool. Other than that, I do not see doing anything wrong, thus, I simply cannot believe I've got such a bad clocking card :confused:
Yeah, sounds rather strange. Did you disable CCC and the ati services???
i have a sealed case in the summer for the past 4 years i'v been using a ac unit
to pump on cold air.
then in the winter i have 2 hoses that suck in cold air with a filter running 4 92mm tornados.
case temps are usually 6 to 10c on a mildly cool day here when it gets real cold the case temp hits -5 to -10c cpu 5 to 15c gpu = 2 to 7 c.
the ac dosent get as cold for me but still allows for decent overclocks and extended hardware life.

i would say thats impossible with SShadows enabled, no way, could you post a few of those results without SShadows?
If is that correct is IMPRESSIVE, huge results! and congrats ;)
OT, would you recommend me the MAZE4 WBlock for my x1800xt?
Okay seems ya right, Softshadows On doesn't work when AA is enabled and in fact the SS on + 4xAA result above is just normal 4xAA/16xAF

yeah Maze4 acetal version is nice... i have the low profile version :)
Eva... could you explain how you got your memory so high? I can only get 900... stock volts
think info is in this thread..first post to be exact ;)
high mem clock = undervolt mem volts from 2.097v stock to 1.985-1.993v :)
MVDDC + MVDDQ or just MVDDC?
see first post ... both :)
