You can buy a seperate snap-on 6-pin connector for some X800XLs for 15 bucks ;) The MSI one is supposed to have one (msi website shows it) but retailers skimped out on it except xpc gear sells them seperately for 15 bucks :DQuote:
HEY THAT THING HAS THE 6 PIN PCI-E POWER CONNECTOR!!
i bet it overclocks like a champ

That's probably what he's talking about. :)
Ty isp, thats exactly what I was talking about :) Though I was under the impression you could use that with a modded power connector. I still think you need an XL with a premade connector to use that right away. Though shouldnt those XLs (like powercolor) that come with power connectors have that power lead ???Quote:
I imagine its the 110nm architecture along with the assumption that the XL will not be sold with power connector hence drawing higher watts from th PCIe slot, afaikQuote:

That might be a PCIe X800XT, the article didnt say - it was an X800XL review. But for sure if theres only one thing thats right up there, its the X800XL power reqs in light blue and light green ;)Quote:

So ...has anyone proven yet that the XLs with power connector OC better ? And do BBA x800xl's have 1.6ns mem ?
BBA X800XL have 2.0nS Sammy chips...Quote:

Now, where can one buy the 6 pin MOLEX that solders to the PCB??
C
But 110nm architecture reduces power consumption not the other way around. Hmm so you are saying these are not total power consumption fugures, but only the power drawn through the PCI-E slot? That would make this chart pretty worthless.Quote:

Drawing that much through the pci-e slot?
My.. butt.
That chart is pretty screwed up if you ask me.
Here is my scores with the Gecube X800XL. I would like to do some voltmodding, but my PCB does not conform to the standard.

Unfortunatly I havent been able to use my PowerColor XL yet (Only my mobo needs to be delivered, it should be here tomorrow). It's got 2ns Samsung. I think the 1.6's are from when ATi still hadnt got the specs entirely final for the card. As you guys probably know, they changed the RAM clock from 1.6ns 500MHz, to 2ns 490MHz (strange that they used 1.6 in the first place). So I think only the older cards, and some manufactorers that choose not to follow ATi's recomended specs, have the 1.6ns Samsung chips. But as already prooven, the 2ns isnt exactly bad ;)
I still find it strange that they would only give the core 1.35V... But hey! that just prooves that it's not a bad OC'er as most reviews have said, it just needs a bit more juice.
But I'v got a few pics, taken with a LG "3" cellphone.. Nothing special, but if you guys want to see it I could post them.
And great scores all of you! I just hope my setup will get me over 30K... But I doubt it.
Nice AllBrain , what were the settings at 2.6ghz ? 260x10 2-2-2-x ?
AllBrian, do you have the GeCube x800xl uni-wise edition? I don't know much about it, but maybe that's why your PCB is different.
does anyone know what the dip switch is for on the back of the BBA x800xl???

Hmmm I'd like to know that too. as it's on the PowerColor aswell...Quote:

Using Ati Tool 0.24 beta 2 I can set gpu fan velocity ;)
thanks! wonder why the goofy bastards didn't mention that in the manual or insert of some sort ?? :confused:Quote:

I do have the Gecube X800XL and I have been looking for a voltmod for some time now. No luck yet.Quote:

Hi , I put mine under water (maze4) and so far 453/589 , but my score seems way too low ... I know i'm at 2300mhz but that shouldn't matter THAT much. I'm using 2x256mb OCZ EB pc3500 .
http://199.202.73.113/mb/0365578/2k3_11795.JPG
With my clocks, I should definitly be seeing 12k ....no ? :stick:
Effectively it is a low score. If you see some posts above I take 11800 @ 440/550 with CPU @ 2475 mhz ... considering 3DMark 03 is't much depending on CPU with your gpu/mem clock you should take 12K at leastQuote:

2nd VERY Unlikely but , I might be past the point where I'm doing negative overclocking . I tried lowering the clocks , but my score lowered. I ran the bench at stock clocks before and after water and got about the same results ( 10500's )
I'm pretty sure this is software related. I checked my GPU temps and it never got above 34c , so i guess heat isn't a factor. I'm pretty pissed because i think my card is clocking decently ...almost 600 mem and i believe it can go to around 465 on the core , no vmods.
If anyone has anything to suggest ...feel free :stick:
And that reminds me I need to update my sig
Im using :
OCZ Powerstream 420w
DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D
