Hey guys, this is some criticism, but someone down-voted and up-voted this thread. I honestly think you guys should stop five-starring every thread that appaears (not pointing this at anyone). Stop being dickheads whoever you are or Ill post here more frequently.

Any solutions on an overheating passive 7600GS?

No passive cards are meant to last. :)

I screwed a case fan onto the passive heatsink, effectively making it an active heatsink. Works very well.

I wish I would have taken pics before I got rid of the card, it was truly ghetto. Luckily the holes in the fan lined up perfectly with the fins, so that when I screwed the fan in it bit into the sides of the fins and made a very secure fit.

I sold the card though, upgraded to an X1950Pro.

just make sure you have enough on the 12v rail to power both cards and you should be good.

Gam'ster

Mar 11, 2007, 07:04 PM

Just checked and as far as i read it, the psu has 2x +12v rail with 380w 38amps total ( 18a for +12v 1 and 20a for +12v 2 ) and 2x 7900gs require 245w ( underload ),

I googled and come up with this http://www.guru3d.com/article/content/377/3/.
Plus i used the hiper web site to check the PSU's specks. http://www.hipergroup.com/English/products/hpu-4k580.html

This sound kosher to you guys ? ( plus i suppose it will help anyother person wanting to go sli like me :D )

However an exspensive mobo will help to overclock a cheap CPU higher (usually) and perhaps a cheap mobo will hinderthe potential of an exspensive CPU? Not too sure about that one tho.

Personally I think I'd rather kill myself on the MOBO's price so it's up to date for a while.. I mean who wants to replace their mobo? lol.. whatta pain in the arse.. I'd rather update memory, cpu, and gpu or whatever, than go through all that again.. :nutkick: ..

I finally put my system together.. it was my 1st build.. I did it all from looking at the walk through here and help from this sites members.. thank you all who helped me out.. you really saved my arse..lol.. I'll take some better pics soon. i took some on my phone but we all know how bad phone pix suk.. lol I even got a good pic of the blood I shed builiding it lol.. Dang computer hacked my finger, had my blood on the IO panel shield for the mobo, I had to take a pic..lol.. I shed blood for this thing!! lol.. Maybe now it will be like a biomechanical monster computer... rawwrrrr... :laugh: ( I have this Trapper keeper picture in my head from south park lol) still having issues with raid though.. idk if I need this floppy to boot the raid software or whatever it's called.. but I don't even have a floppy soooo... idk how im supposed to do that lol.. i hope it's available on cd. also I'm not to sure if setting it up at 16k or 64k or whatever makes a difference or even what it does... still learning but for a new guy I think I did pretty well. "meaning it works and nothing is on fire" :D

Your as bad as me! Do you mind me asking why you upgraded, it's not as if the GTS couldnt handle anything thats thrown at it and the 640MB version is almost a match for the 2900XT albeit untested of course in DX10.

My Birthday is coming up next month and I am toying between a 320MB 8800GTS single card solution or trying 2 x 8600GTS in Sli (partly becuase I have never run SLi and I am intregued), the 2 8600GTS option is a little more exspensive but is a slightly faster setup that generally is a match performance wise for the 640MB 8800GTS and beats it in quite a few benches.

May 16, 2007, 10:45 AM

8600 duo to being 128bits suck ass in aa and af, i suggest wait for price war and get 2x8800gts 320m :)

Not at resolutions above 1280 x 1024 it isnt and as I said, 2 of them equal a 8800GTS 640MB but there is one point here......your card wont run DX10!! the 8600 will :D

Edit: Sorry, I didnt mention that i dont disagree with you about the 8600GTS performance in comparison to say your 1800GTO in DX9, but it really does depend on which review you read, if you look here for example, you will see the average between the standard 8600 and the overclocked one are around the same scores as a 1950Pro! and that is with some eye candy on.

http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2105&page=9

And you will notice here, on the SM3 tests within 3D Mark 2005 and 2006 that the 8600GTS beats the 1950Pro.

I did not know that. That's a double dippers. If you gonna be late, at least be ready with the driver. And what's with the 1 year warranty for a $400 card? The best one was Sapphire (I think) that offer 2 years warranty. That's kinda BS. At least give me 3 yr so that your expensive can still have warranty until it becomes obsolete...

If you have a 8800 series card and don't have this cooler Thermalright h03 plus you are missing something big time it dropped my temps 86c under load at stock speeds 575/900 to 58c under load, idle 44c and allowed me to clock my gtx at 633/ 2088 up from 600/2000 and my temps oced never go over 63c. They used to go as high as 89c at 600/2000 when using ATI artifacting tool.

I tried Arctic Freezer AC/120mm fan 54cf instead of the Arctic Freezer 92mm 35CF fan. It made zero difference in cooling and the pull ties bent a few of my fins for nothing lol. So if you buy this cooler buy a 92mm fan it works just as good, not sure why but it does.

I use a combination of Rivatuner (for fan control) and ATi tool for the overclocking and artifact scanning but then use rivatuner to apply the the overrclocks once I have found them thru ATi tool if that makes sense?

ive also owned and gamed on 3 mx440's (1 was pci), a Ti4400, a fx5600xt, and 3 6600gt's (one with a socket A cooler for intense o/c)
also a bunch of ati cards but who wants to hear that in a nvidia thread :D

i just havent had the heart to sell 6800, i paid 850 AUD for it (approx 500 USD at the time) and its just not worth selling, id rather keep it as a spare.

For anyone who's owned one, i'd just like to make a tribute to the ex-king of AGP.

Try using core temp or speed fan for the temps on your cpu. What kind of memory speeds and timings are you using and have you tried to oc your video card?

Zachus

Jul 23, 2007, 03:25 PM

I overclocked my card to 600 core/1000 memory a few days ago. When I began overclocking the CPU FSB, there was an option to link the frequency changes with the memory; I turned this on and have left it on ever since. I believe I found the memory timings: 5-5-5-15 is stock, but I'll check the BIOS right now.

This is the memory I have: http://www.pcprogress.com/product.asp?m1=pw&pid=CMTWIN2X2048%2D8500C5D

Whoa - my memory is running quite slow. 5-6-6-19 timings running at 825MHz. Strange - how should I go about this?

erocker

Jul 23, 2007, 03:37 PM

just set the timings manually to where they should be.

Zachus

Jul 23, 2007, 03:46 PM

cdawall

Jul 23, 2007, 05:56 PM

That's safe? Alright - thank you. What about the speed? Supposedly the memory should be running at 1066MHz; or it has been "tested" to run at that speed without difficulty. It's currently at 825MHz. Please pardon my ignorance; I hope I'm not being too much of a hassle.

your not being a hassel dont worry

RAM
either change your DRAM:FSB ratio or keep you current and try lower timings 4-4-4-12 1T should work try it at 2.0v first if it locks try bumping it till it does (2.3v is MAX for most ram) if that wont work try 4-5-5-15 2T same thing with volts

if you bump your FSB:DRAM ratio try timings 5-5-5-15 1T 2.1v or so those timings should work up to 1200mhz or so

Zachus

Jul 25, 2007, 07:58 PM

Thank you - how do you increase the memory speed? The timings? DRAM:FSB ratio? And I'm curious as to whether or not I should leave the CPU FSB/Memory linked as I increase the speed of the CPU FSB.

Also, in the NVIDIA Monitor, the bar next to HT(SPP-MCP has always been red at 1.45V; I've never touched it. Is this normal? PCI-E has also been yellow at 1.25V since I built it.

Thanks again for the help.

EDIT: I just went to the BIOS and set the CPU clocks to default on the pages that pertained to it, and noticed that the default HT setting was 9x, while mine had always been at 7x. I don't recall ever changing these settings, so I'm wondering if the lower HT setting would have impacted the CPU speed in 3DMark06 in particular. With default settings, the timings are now 5-5-5-18 (2T), still lower than the ones I had before I overclocked the machine. The memory clock is now 800MHz, the CPU FSB 1066MHz.

Whoa - just noticed that with default settings the PCI-E voltage increased to 1.5V in the NVIDIA Monitor; it was already yellow at 1.25V. Should I change this?

Hey, everyone - according to what I've heard from a couple of people in Alcopone's 3DMark06 thread, my CPU score, and my total score in 3dmark06 are not nearly as high as they should be, and I'm a little puzzled by this.

3DMark06 Results: 10145

SM2.0: 4783
SM3.0: 4959
CPU: 2086

I've been told I should be nearing 11000, and the CPU score should be a little less than 3000. I recently overclocked the CPU from the stock 2.4GHz to ~3.1GHz (1.4v) - I raised the score from ~8300 to the scores you see there. Any ideas on why my CPU is underperforming?

Also, there's a ~12 degree (C) temperature disparity between the NVIDIA Monitor's temps and the BIOS temps. For example, I'm running at ~48 degrees celsius according to the monitor (I booted my PC about 5 mins ago after leaving it off for 3+ hours), but after restartring it and going into the BIOS I see ~35 give or take a few. This is always the case, and I don't understand why.

I have thermaltake watercooling just for the CPU - I plan on getting a waterblock for my 8800 GTX soon.

I would really appreciate any help you guys could offer

Not sure if you made any real gains yet with your setup but it strikes me that you Gfx card is being bottlenecked by your processor if it's still only running at 3.1Gig.....you are probably only getting 75% of your cards potential so the equivilent to an overclocked 8800GTS! If you check the rankings in 2006 you will see there are loads of GTS's above you, all mainly because of faster CPU's, therefore there is sense in the theory that if you have a CPU that at it's max running speed is going to bottleneck then dont get the GTX get the GTS cause at least you will be getting 100% performance/value.....if that makes sense?

430W may sound weak, but this PSU has 2x20A +12V lines...so it can take OC quite easy, the whole system is OCed. I'll be changing my case in the following weeks with a CM Stacker STC-01 + side panel, because my old Chieftec has became little (you can see from the pic, that the 6pin connector is actually bending the card). I can also buy a 750W modular Chieftec PSU...but we'll see about that.

I found this article on AMD having a possible bug in their upcoming laptop chipset dubbed 'puma'.

http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/newsanalysis/techsemis/10403329.html?cm_ven=YAHOO&cm_cat=FREE&cm_ite=NA

Read futher through the article and there is talk about nVidia being a potential buyer if AMD cannot dig themselves out of the hole in 2008.

If AMD owns ATi, does this mean nVidia will also own ATi?

nVidia/AMD/ATi doesn't sound good to me.
