Case is open. And I have installed A Zalman VF700 CU. That one blows all over the board. Its realy stange. But i have not heared anyone else that has this problem.

1.2 volts is my max after that i get the problems. With 1.2 volt my max core is 590 and mem 780 or so. i need 1.250 to hit the 800 mem but i can't get that voltage regarding the clock speeds i set. I will get artifacts then :(

I traced the problem and its the GPU voltage. If i do nothing and just raise it to 1.250 or so i get instant problems in ATi Tool or HL 2 LC. Did not see them visualy in Warcraft 3 or 01 and 05.

The mem is Ok. 700 gives no artis @ all. must test higher. But last time i needed Higer GPU voltage to get to 800.

But do yu guy's have any idea what causes this ? i can't raise it without problems even 1.150 is giving problems.

I wouldn't trust ATI Tools artifact testing with these cards yet. I think its a bit buggy. BTW u should use Beta 9, not 8 ;)

I know but i can't find beta 9. I'm trying to contact w1zzard but so far no luck. Do you have it ? so you can mail it to me ?

Fighting cold bug, but learning a few tricks. Still on pelt and I'm wondering if it would do almost as well on air with these core speeds. Load Windows over -0° and power the pelt when running in 3D, notice ATI Tool temp arc ;)

No time for '03 tonight.

Crazy memory clocks, just can't seem to run these in '01 or '03.

@ G H Z

Nice clocks. Could u plz post voltage used on core and mem.

Thanx

1.225 core

2.05/2.05 memory

This thing won't take anymore voltage either on the core. You would think 1.3v like an XT might give better speeds but it just locks up from 1.25v and above even running 500Mhz core speed.

'05 - made 10K :D

Check out the memory clock, finally starting to see a few artifacts.

AWESOME :eek:
I think u the first XL user to get that score. CONGRATS :toast:

can you send me the ati tool beta 9?

I want ati tool beta9 too, where to get it? :-)

It hasn't been released to the public yet.
If u want it u need to ask wizzard on special request.

Hay GHZ can you share the coldbug fighting details. I might get x1800 AGP version and i want to boot up -28c. Man i hope Diamond card wont have this stupid coldbug

GHZ, very nice memory speed. 150 more points to catch me.

Machine restarts when temp falls below -5° or so. I have not found a way around this yet and the new Cats didn't make a difference. Only way I can run under the pelt is to power it up only when going into 3D so loaded temps stay over the reset temp. So bottom line is I don't think it will work for you but you never know. The AGP versions might be totally different.

Someone needs to mod the BIOS to disable or modify temp monitoring on these cards.

Card seems to be taking a little more core voltage and clocks now :)

Care to try and mod a BIOS for the XL to get around the cold bug? I don't want to flash the 512 XT BIOS on the 256 XL just yet.

XT bios will have the same problem - also has cold reboot

Wait until you see what peeps are getting with 512MB XT on the memory overclocks without pulling mayor voltage on teh core...

Unbelievable, sorry to hear that Mike :( That leaves the drivers as the only option then if there are no special BIOS'es according to Greyskull. Sampsa said he had a special driver and it's a good bet thats the case with macci's XT results as well.

I'm sorry but I have a problem with a Company/Rep coming on these forums and portraying a card in one fashion specifically for all of us overclockers to see, and ultimately in retail form we have a completely different card that cannot duplicate those preliminary results. Clock speeds are one thing and luck of the draw, I understand that. But not being able to run them under xtreme cooling is totally unacceptable and misleading.
