i use the mcw-50 block with non-chilled water and the absolute lowest core temp I ever saw was 27c, and that was right at startup with a 66f ambiant room temp. The throttleing begins at 25c, so you dont have to worry about it with normal water cooling. The core will quickly warm to at least 29c is most cases unless your room temps are really chilly, like mid 60s.

is that with a 80w or 172w pelt?

whoa, sorry didnt clarify myself, that is with NO pelt. if u go that route, you will run into the throttling I imagine....

Hi! I also have a PNY 6800GT, that I'm considering putting a modded bios into. Presently mine is completely stable at 423/1000 with idle temps of 62/45 and load temps running rthdribl of 85/61, all I've done is redo the stock heatsinks with artic silver 5.

Do you have any other comments or advice about doing this bios flash, or any problems with your card? What temps do you idle/load at? What size powersupply is in your machine?

Success!!

I used the PNYGT14V.ROM that Crozet posted on the last page of the thread. Looking at in the editor, it puts 2D/3D at 1.4v (1.3v stock) and 3D at 1.5v (1.4v stock). It has the same bios number as my PNY 6800GT 5.40.02.15.01 and flashed right in with no issues!

I've been running rthdribl at 434/1140 in a window (2D/3D) for long periods, and am about to try Doom3 at these settings.

IT RUNS MUCH HOTTER, peaking at 93/65 in rthdribl vs 85/61 before at slightly lower clocks. I won't be surprised if it hits 100C in Doom3, and this is after AS5'ing all the heatsinks. Improved heatsinks can't come fast enough for these cards.

Anyway, I'm delighted with the results

Hmm we have problems with the availibility of 6800 cards here in Europe. Have been waiting 2 weeks for my 6800GT now and its likly to be 2 more :(

At least my Dangerden 6800 card is on its way. Can´t wait to test it with My card and a +0,1 bios :D

i got my 6800 ultra yesterday and i live in wales in the uk! really sruprised to recieve it this early! i had been waiting ages for x800 xt until i changed my order. This card is awesome! my clocks come as 425 core - 1.2ghz memory ( XFX 6800U ) the problem is, it wont really overclock at all for some reason.. if i could get more out of it it would be even greater.

as it stands i am gettin 12k 3dmark 2003 marks with it right now, and i dont think thats all that bad considering i have an athlon xp mobile oc'ed to 2.5ghz.

anyone doing voltage & cooling mods for this card @ a decent price? if anyone here is, let me know.

http://www.evga.com/community/bios6800/

evga has put up a new BIOS for Ultra and Ultra Extreme Editions as stated there on the site. Anyone want to mess around with their card and test the voltage with this BIOS?

btw Extremetheme's wonderful contributions can also be found here

been reading every post here...

this is awesome work! :banana:

well to my problem

i got a point of view 6800u which is all good and well

but i'm having a wierd issue with games freezing/crashing.. eventually windows reboots

would a bios update with a point of view bios with a newer date help with this ?

could it be my gpu isnt getting enough juice ?
raising gpu v to 1.5v with a bios mod might help ?

will post my bios later for possible tweakage

i finally got this card and now there are 2-3 weeks wait at ANY dealer in denmark for any 6800u :(

if i were to return it for a refund and something else is wrong getting a diff brand wont fix anything :p

1 hdd/dvd
and ofcourse the 6800u with 2 molex attached

edit
gonna try lowering cpu speed some and see if that helps..
could be the system is eating up a ton of power at this speed :p
edit again
or try using a 250/300w psu to power the card alone :cool:

I have em :-)
So if you need them you can mail em to get them as well!

Thanks,

i just went to your site for the first time Mavke, you have some wonderful stuff there, thanks for all the help you guys have given us average 6 series owners. get those forums up though!

Well this weekend site will get moved over to my new Dedicated Hosting Box. So I hope to have it all finished by Monday (if I will get there). And then I will implement a Forum ;-)

So hope to see you like the new site even better hehe

on your site you have 5.40.02.10.00, the new ver that was linked was 5.40.02.15.07

but its a simple problem that i'm sure you would be able to remedy, considering that all evga asks for is a serial number to link to their ftp site

e.g. if you don't have the serial number, just use ftp://evga.com/N345.exe and ftp://evga.com/N346.exe


i don't have a floppy so i can't just get them and mail them to you

If you would have read correctly I said I have them and that you should mail. I never said I have em on my site. Site is not going to be updated untill the move is final :-)

and i don't have a floppy drive

Well since I have a floppy...
I did it for all those who don't.

In the zip you find both U and UE rom BIOS Files from eVGA :-)

hey guys, fellow 6800u users. I know some of us have been working on our cards for a while eeking out the performance...
I need some advice, I can clock my ultra to just over 500 core and 1.30 mem, stable on water with xtreme's backupx2 bios.
The temperatures are fine. So my next step would seem to be more volts.
Man this thread has come a long way since those first posts...can someone who vmodded give us a quick update on the correct procedure as the original picture was incorrect right?
Thanks i appreciate it, y'all.

You don't say what motherboard, but there are a couple things to try. First is raise the AGP voltage in bios one or two notches, this often helps stability.

Secondly you have a highly overclocked cpu, raise both your chipset voltage to the maximum setting and Vdimm as well, and consider a voltage mod to raise Vdd to the 1.9v range. Also adjust memory timings for stability, like 10-3-3-2.0 to around 12-3-3-2.0 at 220-230fsb (assuming CAS2 pc3500).

*Also*, realize not all games will run at the same overclock. Specifically for me Far Cry simply *will not run* at high 6800GT clocks, I have to backoff to 392/990, while doom3 is happy at 430/1040 (after the modded bios).

Update for the freezing/crashing problem! You may just need a newer bios! See

so...where should the dot be again?

using that picture based on the original dot, where should u pencil?, thanks

This is orginal PNY Geforce 6800 GT with only 1.4volt mod applied to it using OmniExtremeEdit program.

PNY GT MODDED BIOS


Can anyone check the BIOS manually using some type of hex editor and confirm that it is indeed set at 1.4volt?

Or..

Could you guys tell me how to check the voltage myself?


Thanks..

welcome to XS chinabox :toast:

try to test your 6800U at default speed on ram and CPU. Then you can see if it's the Grafx that make the crash.

A newer bios might be better, but I don't think thats the problem.

I just installed my new watercooling system. With an AquaComputer waterblock for my POV 6800GT card. Now there is a problem, my CPU core temperature is 26C. I know this because I changed graphicscards and started the computer. I don't know the temperature of my GT though I think it is a bit below the CPU and I therefore think it is below 25C.

The problem is, with my waterblock mounted on the card, the system woun't start. There is no picture on the display. I tried to connect the standard fan while the waterblock was mounted to check if the card registered the missing fan and wouldn't start. The card sadly did not start.

I know the card is not broken, so I think the problem is because of a too low core-temperature. Does anyone else have the same problem? Is there a solution for this?

If you know the values to change in the BIOS, xtremetheme, I would be really greatful for an answer.

Tnx!

any1 here reached 1430 by memory?

would the xtremetheme bios work ok on my bfg 6800ultra oc? On stock cooling.
