hipro5, the only real legend left in the 3D business. Your devotion to the community is immeasurable.

New age clockers (who seem to be quiet in this thread) cannot touch your undisputed status as a 3D legend!

[D0m|nat0R]

Hipro you're the king

[BenchZowner]

@ only 4.5GHz CPU... 135K easy with the CPU frozen?

Nice score for "only" -90

3D Mark03 with today's high end VGA's is very CPU clock frequency forgiving.

palit 480 gtx@hipro bios vgpu+vmem mod +cascade -90
thanks george

Wow, nice GPU clocks and score!

[Harshal]

EVERYBODY DESERVES a chance my friend.......EVERYBODY.....

Super thought!

Thanks for the share... tho still no GFX loving on my side of universe :P

[miahallen]

Thanks a bunch for sharing this George. I plan to test soon

[hipro5]

Thanks guys and Dave....

so, hipro, when we see this bios mixed with your hardware mods which avoid cb/cbb ?

Hmmmmm.........soon I think....

Totally agreed! And, as you see, it's greatly appreciated!
There is one thing that bothers me in this case, though...
I expected something similar to:

"Bios my arss.....

I can fix this problem with a hardware mod.... "

I mod it with hardware, didn't I?....

thanks a lot!

any chance we get an explanation on what caused the slow bug?

Missreading the temp sensor the temp plus to throttle the gpu under/over a certain temp....

The bios works, but surely the GTX480 needs more mods to be really flying. Without CBB hardmod, you have to warm up too much and get condensation too rapidly.

But ... YOU'RE AWESOME, GEORGE

Try hardmod the VCore and start it with higher VCore boot up - for start - ....

Could it be a mod like older gen nvidia cards? Just remove the temp IC?

This too....

[massman]

Try hardmod the VCore and start it with higher VCore boot up - for start - ....

I only use hardmod.

Define 'higher' VCore.

[hipro5]

1.25 to 1.35VCore.......

BUT wait a bit....
I'll upload a newer bios within the day as for this issue at least to boot/post at lower temp......

[massman]

Ran 1.25 and 1.35V, but no change in post behavior .

Will remove IC and see how that works.

[hipro5]

You'll gain some but don't expect too much out of it.....though it depents on how it reads too.....

[[XC] Oj101]

Slightly OT but I think we all need to be reminded from time to time how lucky we are to have George here.
I think I've learned more from reading his posts than I would have in 3 lifetimes on my own.
He not only does it, but shows others how to do it and explains the why's and how's.

Except for the dozen or so hardmods he did to his HD2900XT

[massman]

Bios helps more?

The big problem is the insane condensation when going from -100°C back to -20°C just to boot. If it would be like -60°C, it would already help quite a lot.

Another issue is some issues with changing clocks in 2D idle. I can complete Vantage at 1150, but increasing the clock to 1200 makes Windows lock up and bluescreen. It seems pretty strange that a difference of 50MHz can mean 3D stable to 2D totally unstable.

Onto this, have you tried increasing every 27MHz SHARP?.....

EDIT: ONTO THIS again......wait for my upcoming bios too....

[Don_Corleone]

Thanks for sharing modded bios and info

27MHz ... I've heard that before .

Didn't do it this way.

HUGE THANKS Hipro !

Since 480 official launch, boblemagnifique, pt1t and I have knocked to every door without any success to get this fix.

I was personnaly begin to sadly think that most of top ocers were acting like divas for unknown purposes (besides the few who did take 2min to answered me)...

I want to say : Guys, by doing that you simply killing the passion of ocing in young and/or "little" ocers, so tell me what will you all do when there will be nobody to compete with anymore ? For me, being the best ocer not only mean always being in the Hwbot Top 5, sorry...

Thanks again Hipro5, for all the work done and for all the help you keep giving to the community ! Besides your great skills, that's one reason why YOU ARE DA REAL MASTER and REALLY deserves it !

Bye

[hipro5]

Thanks pep.....

Now here try this new one..... AT YOUR OWN RISK.....

P.S. Have by side another card to flash back in case it doesn't boot after flashing....
I haven't tested it this yet to see IF the VGA boots up.... (I'll test it in the afternoon as soon as I have my LN2)...
IF it boots, then I think that you have a BIG advance as for the CBB too.....

P.S.2 LOWER or DISABLE your VCore HARDMOD TOO.....

GTX480 NO COLD SLOW + CBB a bit fixed...

[boblemagnifique]

Of course , the life is risk every day !!! then a VGA ....

A big thank you for your help to the community

[GFDuke]

I think we should all chip in and buy him something nice. Great job. Not only did you post help for everyone you are even following up on it. I'd take you out for dinner and drinks if you lived near me. Thanks again. If you ever come to the states you can stay in my cottage on the lake. Hows that sound?

It sounds like a nice offer...I'll keep it in mind...

[aristidis]

George you are always the best of all. Thanks and congrats for the mods.
I also wanted to know were are they all that the have those mods until now.

[BenchZowner]

Kinc released the CBB removal in the Xtreme 3D section.
A little late, but maybe because of employer interference.

[Shahryar_NEO]

Now Let's make an epic ( 99.99% real ) story for this action :

In these days overclocking turned into a decent place for manufacturers to sell more via overclocker's records and shows and many overclockers are trying to show that they're better than others in overclocking to get more benefits from manufacturers like better samples and etc .

When top overclockers are trying to improve themselves in hwbot ranking everyday and get better ranking from 5 to 2 , 2 to 1 , hipro makes himself an overclocker @ the higher LEVEL !
Instead of JUST GOOD HARDWARE and MEANINGLESS world records , Hipro5 submitted a NEW world record in OCiers mind in his legendary way to show the difference of a REAL and NATIVE legend and the people who try to show themselves like a legend !

Maybe people forget who submitted gtx480's best clocking in the future but will not forget this help and contribution for overclocking this card .

End of the Story

[BenchZowner]

There's a lot of truth ( actually the whole ) in that story
