So the X1800XT came and went without a whimper?

Cold bug is gone, no need to kill the .exe from task manager. Well you can do it that way but in order to do that you need to boot first to the OS so you have Task Manager. If you simply disable ATI Smart & ATI Hotkey Poller from the Serives Manager the .exe never loads

Here my latest.

Awesome GHZ
So u say u found a way to bypass the cold boot issue?

[G H Z]

Here's a picture. I'm not sure who came up with this (I think Mike Guava suggested killing the process that one of these two services load on startup. But yes it works perfectly. Just disable the two ATI Services as seen here

Thanx for the heads up.
Does this disbable temp monitoring? and does it improve OC'ing?

Cold bug is gone

How about below -45C?

That would of have to be done through the cards bios.

[deathman20]

I've always disabled those services, less crap running in the background that doesn't seem to do a thing. All temp monitoring/ocing/volt increases and such still exists.

Kill them and enjoy a happier computer

As far as I can tell the chip doesn't have a coldbug - we had cooler base temp at like -130C @ IBiza, remember?
All temp related problems are software/temp monitoring related..

Doo you think that a bios from one of the Ibitza cards wil work on a retail XT? And can it get the cold bug away?

So far i hawe 865/1017Mhz and it is the best 01 an 05 scores on orb with X1800xt but it cant handle temp belov -45

I think -90c can give me alot more.... if i can get it too work.

Macci can you send me your bios so i can test it out?

[macci]

I'm in Canada and my ibiza card is back in Finland :/
I'm quite sure that the BIOS is not compatible with retail cards thou. So -45C is the limit, is that the evap temp?
You had to disable the ATI services in order to get it to run at -45C?

Impressive clocks and score there so far, what Vgpu have you used?

Yes i must shut down the servicees... -45 on evap is the limit.. about -39 in ATI tool If it gets colder the pictures start shaking on the monitor and its artifact alot... With -50c on evap i cant even get a boot screen

I used 1,55v on GPU Mem stock volt.

Thanks GHZ

Trying the XL first

[G H Z]

I'll be trying DI tomorrow on my XT, maybe I can help clarify whether this is another level of cold bug or something else entirely.

Nice

Gl an let us know if it works

[G H Z]

Well no DI yet but did a little '03 & '05. These approved drivers are definately slower than the Cat 5.12's.

[althes]

Things are looking good there.
