the card wont go any higher thane withe modded x800GTO² card :(
here's the pic of my ub3r soldering skills which almost killed my card the first time :stick:

This is the best my GTO2 can do.... A little over 8k:
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1401880
This was done with clocks at 678/600.
Best $220 video card ever!
What VGPU and drivers? Nice score!! :slobber:Quote:

lex that is nothing short of amazing. What kind of cooling and mods did u do
someone i know he's running 670/630 at 1.6v....he will hunt 700/700...
no mods on ram he said yet.
630 ram w/o vmod is realisticQuote:

Sorry for the lack of details earlier.... :slapass:
Drivers are the 5.10 WHQLs...will definately upgrade to the 5.11s for the OGL boost when they are released.
BIOS is just the basic ati x850 xt pe bios from techpowerup. I then disabled the VIVO in the Device Manager. I think this bios has pretty tight ram timings...it is the only explaination on why I cant go above 600 on my mem. :cussing:
VGpu was 1.62 via VR. Nothing higher does anything for me except add heat. Cooling is MCW55 block in my normal watercooling loop. Max temps when running ATI tool @ 660/600 is 41C. As winter sets in, I will have to break out my water chiller (live in Montana). Its a window mounted push/pull cooler that keeps everything outside, but pipes cold water back into my loop. I think 700mhz core bench is easily possible.
I have a 80mm fan blowing over the voltage regulators on the card. They still hit 50C under load which is starting to get a bit warm. Moving voltage above 1.6ish started to really skyrocket this temp.
Now that I have taken the card on a few first dates, I am going to go back and try some suicide runs at 1.85VGpu to see if there is anything left in the core.
you don't have heatsinks on the voltage regulators ?

Does it matter, if his temperature dont got over 57C? im just saying, its not problem with temperature, but with voltage. At least it was mine problem when i got AGP version of X800Pro@XT pencil modded, it was hot, but stable. :)Quote:

every cards are different so some will tolerate high temps some won't
KITT: that sapphire x850xt pe bios with vivo I disabled ... does it have set default higher vcore voltage? then this bios?
http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/....Samsung16.bin
Thank you :)
Could be, just like some CPUs dont like higher temp :)Quote:

Anyone have any idea why I can't get picture on a TV when using the adapter? It's the DVI one...none of those work or anything. =\

isnt 1.48 a bit much on stock cooler? is that 1.48 load or does it droop to 1.46 load? what temps you gettingQuote:

Will run stock, 100%fan, and Watercooled. Will do Watercooled with vmods in a few days after I am assured the card is in working order.

What kind of temps are you getting on your GTO at those speeds (it would also help me if you told me what your ambient temps were...it's hot in texas :()Quote:

outside its cold though.

Sadly my system took a dump after i restarted (restarted to install 3dmark 05) and havnt been able to test any further since..
If I can get it running tonight I will post some 3dmark 05 scores and do some watercoolings runs and show u guys how far it can really go. Just a guess but i would say this board will do 620/620 unmodded. Prolly not much more out of the memory as it is 2NS.
oh ya forgot to mention that its at 12 pipes right now. When i get the computer working again i will flash to 16 pipes.
Glad I actually helped someone :P. And yeah, it's a pain. I can't get 7k no matter what I do. My stupid value ram is holding me back real hard. I wish I still had my OCZ VX. Good news is, by the end of December, I'll have TCCD and my card will be vmodded with a zalman gpu cooler, and I'll POSSIBLY have some phase on my opty 146, so 7k will be a breeze, even if my opty has to be on air :).Quote:

Just curious, what are you guys using to test for artifacts? ATI Tool or are you just looking for the obvious in 3dmark/games/etc.? My ram seems to start artifacting around 550...maybe I got a dud?
I use all of the above to test for artifacts (ATITool first). 550 isn't the best ever, but certainly not bad for 2.0 ns memory. Are you using any enhanced cooling? That might help a little.
What are you guys getting for cores on the Connect3D GTO's?
I have yet to see a Connect3d that is not r423Quote:

Well. Look at it this way.Quote:

590/605, Let's say.
However, your card might crash at 68c overclocked.
See my point?
Due to heat/stability issues, the cooling will restrict your overclock

Avez-vous l'idée comment loin il ira ? :D
What a beast! And look at all those trimpots for voltage adjustments. Very impressive.
Found my max this morning on my C3D. 594/573 which gave me 6983 in 3dMark05.
Any more on the core and it reboots/crashes, any more on the mem and the same.
Getting some aftermarket cooling soon, nothing as great as the Viper mods, just an ATI Silencer.
I can't use a V-1 as my cpu cooler is a Big Typhoon and would block off the fan even if I put the card in the second PCI-E slot.
Hopefully I can crack 600 on the core.. :D
currently reinstalling windows for fresh drivers...i'll let you know tonight
a friend bought a connect3d GTO, no luck with bios unlockning, he will try the real modd later
follow the guide :slapass:Quote:

which ATI silencer fits the sapphire x800gto2?
the zalman and the thermalright fits but just want to have a wider range of options to choose from
the x800gto2 is a x850 so the ATI Silencer 5 rev2 is what you needQuote:

SiLA-
how does it clock b4 and after?
that's a wierd block u got there ;)
can the x800 xt pe bios be written to the C3D gto?
I wouldn't try using the x800xt pe bios from the get go...it's much safer to just go with the 16pipe, default clock bios and then OC and tweak from there. It's easier to fix a driver level OC than a bios level OC.
Quick question, anyone know which ATI Silencer fits on the C3D GTO?
As long as it's a r423 2.0ns vivo 256mb biosQuote:

thanks for da tips guys.i will flash with the techpowerup bios and overclock to xt pe speed.but i will try the power colour bios suggested later.as soon as my card
gets here.anyone ever tried unlocking a HIS X800 gto ICEQ 2 Turbo.it has a monster of a cooler on it plus a r480 core.This card over clocked excellently on the test i saw but no mention was made about the chances of it unlocking to 16 pipes.
just grabbed my Connect3D GTO today and compared to the 6600GT this is a huge improvement to my current 3D bench-scores.
totally on stock with 100MHZ less CPU speed and a somehow damaged driver (some errors at the moment - can't go to driver settings) 01/03/05 new personal best with 25960/10560/47XX...16pipes mod successfully, I wait for the results...it is currently running...but the improvements regarding FPS seems very goood :D
...
...
...
...
ahhhh finally: 3DMark 03 - 11543 :woot: and on only 3100MHZ 16pipes, stock clocks without driver optimizing - great card!
only 177€ and the shop is only 40km away so I went there and got it - good investment :fact: :D :D
>28000 points in 01 on 500/500MHZ 30k I COOOOME :woot:
