@all
Were it possibly on the Sapphire Pure A9RX480 with the bios from the 26.09.05 the multiplikator change down ? With me no other multi is taken over except the standard multi 11x200 (Venice 3500 +). Does somebody have the same problem or can test this?

Sorry for my bad Englisch
I can attest that with some changes in bios, I can so far hit 325 HTT, and I am sure if I had the time to sit with the board for a whole day, I could get it a few notches higher.
Boys, hows your 12 Volt line. With my PSU's , the best I have it at is 11.79, but they arent superquality ones.
I can so far run HTT 315 at high speed, but my cpu is a dog, maxes out between 2.6 - 2.7 GHz.

I've got an OCZ powerstream so my rails are tip top. 12.3, 5.2, 3.4 not that it seems to do me any good as far as the board goes.
Not a lot seems to be happening, I was thinking of swapping out my DFI NF4 SLI-D is this a good board is it worth me swapping or is it better to wait?
Damn realli sorry to hear man...... :( It will be excellent if you gave the another chip a go before declaring the mobo a dud :)Quote:

tried another CPU in the board last night, no change. still not stable over 250.
I've had it with this POS board, Got a DFI RDX200 on the way. At least if you have a problem with a DFI and you post on DFI street you get a response. Sapphire support is non-existant. No reply on their forum, no reply to tech support emails. This will be the last sapphire board I'll buy.
Maybe Sapphire dont know/HNFI that there is more to selling a mobo than just stocking the shelves :rolleyes:
yeah, exactly. Sure, some people's seem to work great, but if it does'nt there isn't any help.
At least with a DFI you never feel like your alone with your problem, there is nearly always a thread of other people with the same problem and the manufaturers actually look at the forum to see what needs fixing for each bios update. Certainly does'nt seem to happen on the sapphire forum, makes you wonder how they will ever fix bios issues if they don't try and work thorugh them with their customers.
Exactly !!.............That is the MAIN reason I buy DFI :fact:Quote:

Relax guys......give Sapphire sometime :) This is their first Enthusiasts mobo. DFI didnt becum first class overnite either. Sapphire may not have the luxury of having someone like Oskar who engineers and then perfects marvels and so I think Sapphire is doin a good job thus far...... :)
Got the DFI RDX200 in, flying along with full stability at 315HTT 2835 mhz on the CPU, using exact same settings that would'nt go over 250 on the sapphire.
Does 340 HTT no prob without even upping any voltages.
Not had 1 boot issue either yet! infact not one problem at all.
Sapphire USA says Gouper end of November, Halibut middle of December for USA availability
Could you tell me again the difference between HalibutQuote:

Thanks :)
Halibut is the X-Fire compatible board...Grouper is for single GPU's only.
deception``
Gotcha...Thank You ;)
I am runnnin @ stock volts as well now.....no bump in voltages needed to run 340 HTT :)Quote:

Why is the cpu temp in the bios totally out but about 10 deg? 46 in the bios is about 35 in the ATI system manager, and 33 on my temp probe.
Why is the cpu voltage different everywhere? 1.40v and then 0.20v on the adjustment should give 1.60v right? Well in the bios stats it says 1.5v and in the ati manager it reads 1.45v I think.
I've put the stability setting in high speed which actually seems to make no difference at all. I've set the nb-sb control to enhanced and that also oes nothing apart from kill the onboard lan port.
Anyone got any more ideas on this board, or got any further with it? I'm sat looking at the dfi nf4 ultrad on my desk which was doing 300htt solid for 3Ghz on the opty and wondering why I'm wasting my time with the sapphire.
