Got some more results with the new BIOS. This is at stock 700/800 too.

35,360

**eva2000** · 12-12-2005, 06:53 PM

looks like most folks are doing well.. seems didn't do anything for this guys HIS X1800XT http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?p=30701#post30701 so probably not worth me trying especially with you guys reporting higher temps - my X1800XT doesn't go beyond 69C max even oc'd with 1.45v on GPU @756/900

**perkam** · 12-12-2005, 07:01 PM

True...ppl who already above 700/800 clocks or people not on air cooling should stay away i guess...though a very neat bios for someone who's maxing out at 680/~780 with their original bios

eva2000: Can you do me a favor? Run a bench at 756/900 and then 756/800 and report the difference.

Right now I am getting higher scores without even touching the Memory.

Just a thought if you could. Thanks and I can't wait to take you out when I get my new Opty

That's not going to be easy, i'll guarantee you that

**ugp** · 12-12-2005, 07:05 PM

Well I will try to get close being just on air.

Hopefully the Memory Controllers on my new Opty is as good as my Sandy here. I got 312FSB so far.

updated it at least a bit :thumbsup:
the more people the better....

we need to find a way to increase the memory in a reliable way for 24.7 use.
@750 my score is abour 200 points better than at 725.
i think that we 50 or so more mhz out of the memory 200 to 300 points could come by....a bios editor is what we need. i got my pci card ready

i havent tested this baby on air, just water cause is hot were i live, but temps in the 80c seem high....i am usually at 39c or so.....on water.

I could not pass 720 core with the other BIOS but ran three passes of 3dmark05 @765 core without an issue. To top it off, I broke 10k!

**milen_bg** · 12-12-2005, 07:39 PM

does anyone flashed X1800 XL with this OC bios

**Charles Wirth** · 12-12-2005, 10:42 PM

Flashed my XT and benching now.

**Tamille** · 12-13-2005, 12:06 AM

No go here with Gecube XT. with either of the 2 bios files.
I don't even get a chance to flash. when i start atiwinflash i get either a screen full of coruption or the screen goes blank and freezes. Anyone have a clue to what is wrong.

**Charles Wirth** · 12-13-2005, 12:15 AM

ALWAYS downclock your X1800 video card before you flash to at least 500/500 to prevent corruption and failed bios flash.

Nice, albeit not much of a surprise, considering you could do the same with the 9800pro to xt, x800xt to x800xtpe, and now this....However....

With Geforce 7800GTX 512mb at 1.45 ATi said the voltage was too high for 110nm, this is HIGHER than that voltage on 90nm, so by their chart wouldn't that mean that this card will live even LESS time than that card? About 800-900 hours if ATi's claim towards NVidia holds true!

Something seems a little fishy to me...I know I wouldn't risk that one even if I had a x1800xt, 1.48 is far too high for air cooling on that gpu, considering *supposidly* 1.45 is too much for 110nm...

Very nice.
Glad i stuck to get a x1800xt.
Soon home to try that....flash

Whoa... Recommended voltage on the 90nm process from TSMC is 1.2V tops?...

I *[b]STRONGLY[b]* urge those who plan on keeping their x1800xt's awhile to wait a bit on flashing to this bios... I have a really bad feeling about this...

**perkam** · 12-13-2005, 02:14 AM

It all has to do with temps here, Diltech. Those are are getting higher temps at 1.3 and 1.4 volts should be wary if it automatically ups the voltage in 3d...though most have been able to flash it without any big setbacks. If you're worried about longevity of the card, it's ATI's own bios, not a modded one

Also to add that you must use atitool as using overclock tool to Underclock freezes the computer.

**perkam** · 12-13-2005, 02:41 AM

Thx for the tip Tamille

Though...wait, you also have two GTXs ?? Nice

Perkam

**Tamille** · 12-13-2005, 02:47 AM

Did the flash and at least so far it is windows stable.
will do a bench test later with cpu at 2.5GHZ and X1800XTPE at stock. and see what i get. here is a screen.

And he have 4GB RAM at 1T

its 1.44v measured by DMM, still high though
