Very nice scores guys. I hope they fix ATITool for you guys though, im curious if it really helps you on the memory if OC is loosening something on the ram to get higher clocks or not.
EVA: Said this in another post, my guess is mid 70's are pretty safe. Ran an X800Pro with those temps for about a year and its still working today even after a pipemod. Hope to see some faster scores there :)
thanks deathman20 yet again for yoru help and responses. I suppose 1 day of it running into the 80-90's isn't going to kill or weaken the card (will it?!?!). From now on I am going to ramp the speed of the fan up to a sweet spot to keep the card in the mid 70's. I searched high low for an answer to this question and must have missed the post from EVA about this answer so I apologize. If anyone has any other ideas on this matter to add please do share such as what your idle and load temps are and what you feel is safe and danger zone.
I am glad your x800pro is still running after a year at those temps, that is good to know. I bought a BBATI because of their local warranty. I only live about 20 mins from their HQ making a drop off real easy however I had to pay a premium for this card over a cheaper one made by another manufacturer. ATI used to have 3 year warranty however I just recently found out it is only 1 year now which really blows.
Well tonight once it gets cold out I am going to draw all that air in here and start overclocking my CPU to 3GHz and doa run at 750/900. Also I am going to push the voltage alittle more on it as well. My Load temps are pretty cool once I have a lot of cold air in my room. So I don't think I have anything to worry about then.
All the best ugp :)
Anyone try undervolting their GPU volts ? i'm find at 621/747 with GPU volt dropped from 1.275v to 1.2v in ATI Tool heh
Nice.. What are the temps with your voltage dropped like that?
Undervolt X1800XT GPU from 1.275v to 1.2v
Idle:
ATI Tool send GPU and GPU Env to sensor 5 and 6 respectively to get MBM5 to record temps. If you run ATI tool with MBM5, the average GPU, GPU Env get messed up heh

Load levels off at 55C so far

Eva,
That was a great read my friend, tons of useful info, good stuff. :toast:

Too bad the retail X1800XT cards are suffering the infamous cold bug. :(Quote:

Hopefully, I can get my hands on a phase change unit before Xmas and give my cpus a booster injection :banana:
I do have to say though yours uses less amps according to ATITool then my X1800XL does for similar volts, and well as best of clocks I can get (tops out around 30-35.5A).
Guess I'll post that question over on the other board.
Well trying ATI Tool show 3D windows which seems to draw more load and 3C more load temps ... will let it run a bit and post screenie :)
lol, don't you have an FX 57 0516 WPMW, if so you really should freeze it. ;)Quote:

once i go phase, then watch out guys :slapass: :D
You need to stick that bugger on water.
OPP
Right now I am running my X1800XT on Swiftech MCW 55
idle temps below 27 C's and load temps around 38 C's.
Is it me or do these R520 cores run alot hotter then R480's.
Same watercooling I can run my X850's(1.62vgpu) in CF mode with
two cards looped with 14-16 C's on idle.
Dynasty what's your room ambients ? My room temps are always between 30-32C day and 26-28C night here heh.
I've never water cooled a video card before only cpu... tempted to seeing as SIOUX's responded nicely to water :)

lol, my pc room in this fridgit climate is always in
winter around 15-18C's. :p:
So about right X1800XT under load is about 20-24C above ambients it seems for water cooled or 36-40C above ambients under load for air heh

What load temps do you get on your waterchiller SIOUX . :)
Right now I'm running 2 X850s in crossfire on my 24/7 rig.
The mastercard is on water, the regular 850 is on air.
The temperature difference is a lot, especially under load.
In my book, water cooling is a must have when it comes to running graphic cards, extends the life of the card for one thing.

OT: Oppainter - Have you tried to push the X850CF yet? Just preparing for a run myself in the next couple of days...

No I haven’t.Quote:

Same here - memory is great but the core / memory controler is holding it back - even with vmods - I went form 650 stock to 655 vmodded on the memory ..lol. Heat seems to be the culprit - with Pelted Core the memory went up to 680mhz ( tight) and core came alive going form vmodded 650 air to 760Quote:
