I believe it's an issue with the fans. if you read on their webite they make mention of fans not spinning up and to use Riva Tuner to create a profile for fan speeds

I just mounted my Artic Cooling VGA cooler (details and pics coming), but the 2 fans do not run at all...

That's when I connect them to the VGA card: no moving of fans. IF I cannect them to a 4 pin Molex they do run. So it's not a fan issue.

Observing more closely the 3-pin mini fan connector to the 5850 card, I observe that the colour code is not the same, apparantly red and yellow are inverted...

Do you guys know if this is a known problem? It would be funny (shitty more exactly) that Gigabyte, apart from making a somewhat different card etc, without 5xxx features like voltage control, also wouldhave facked big time with the fans and cables... Who knows!

Thanks in advance!
I repeat my issue here, and thak you Chaos!!!!

Well, the VGA fans do not run from moment zero that i start the computer when pluged into the VGA. They do run if connected to a 'generic' power source, molex.

Raising my hairs and getting bald....

I own one, soon its going to have a water block on it to complete my system lol shame I dont even game anymore like once every "few" months :O I feel a banstick coming from this club! lol.

Overall I could not pass up this card when I seen the benchies... its obviously Ati's golden child IMHO.

I have the block I just havent bothered to put it on yet, maybe this weekend or nexted. I will add sexy pics when I do.

Swap the wires around in the AC fan connector so it matches up with the Gigabyte.

BAck guys. Yesterday I was SO fed up that I didn't even look at the computer.

The fans is solved moving the cables around in the connector, but that is not the problem.

The card just doesn't boot at all. I remember that last week, once I had this issue and moved the power cables and pci-e videocard a bit, until it booted. Didn't know/think that this would repeat again.

I have tried the 5850 in another pc, no way. Used other power supply cables, no go.

Booted holding the card up with my hand, no; booted trying every potition, remounted the oem cooling, I only get black screens.

I just packed it to return it... Fantastic card, potentially at least....

How can a videocard boot once, then not, then again, and finally not boot at all...?

Posting with my old GF9600....

Having looked around at the reference cards, I am going for this one I think, not only does it have it's own smartdoctor voltage software, it also comes with a pretty good custom cooler.

yeah i only got the second for eyefinity. a single was getting great rates in most games. but 2 allow me to get decent settings in eyefinity, or max in everything on one screen. except, i am limited by ram somewhat. GTA4 for example can't max out without hacking it. and as i hear more and more games will make use of more than 1gb ... but i think i'm good for this generation. i'll get a 2gb 6xxx in 2011-2012

grrr....I am trying to flash my 5850...please let me know what I am doing wrong...? I formated my USB stick into a NTSF partition. Everything is fine, however when I try to run the commands, I keep getting these errors (Shown in the picture)

Do I have to go in my BIOS and make it load into J:\ ?

alex, you're most likely using files on that boot stick from windows 98, which doesn't support NTFS.

You need to make the USB stick bootable. Boot from it, then flash it.

Get the HP USB Sisk Storage Format tool and make your USB stick a DOS startup disk. Then put ATIFlash and the bios on the drive.

Did you happen to take any close-up pics of the area near the DVI plugs?

Hmm, gigabyte has the core more to the right than reference design.

If you compare to this, moddidng is needed.

Anyhow 5850+Accelero might be in my future, so it's good to be prepared

It's money saved, not much on one card but make enough of them it adds up.
