I would volt-mod, but I'm pretty sure the stock cooler isn't up to it

Get ready to V-mod! Here: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=64217

Urbklr · Jul 3, 2008, 06:28 PM

So, I'm about to flash to 725MHz/1075MHz....but I noticed when I set the fan, it goes all weird. Ex. During 3Dmark06, I had it to idle at 50% and it was supposed to ramp up....but it went to 30% once the card hit 60 Degress. How do I set up the fan right in RBE?

Edit: I would vmod....but my multi-meter doesn't show decimal volts

...I take it it's not safe to vmod without that, would I be fine just knowing resistance?

Deffinitely have a good multimeter when v modding. Nice clocks!

Darn, I'll try and get my hands on a different one

. At 82% fan speed I get 49Idle/71Load, at those clocks. Crysis Benchmark Tool won't work

....It will load the "Contact" level, then start as if you were playing the game, anyone know how to fix this?

Just survived 3Dmark Vantage

4850 725/1075

Got 6680 at 700/1000

4850 725/1075

Got 12600 at 700/1000

BoOsTed SS · Jul 4, 2008, 01:02 AM

I ran 3dmark06 and Vantage with my hd 4850. My scores were really low, I figured they would be low because of my pD 950 at 3.9ghz and only having a pci-e 1.1 mobo.

3Dmark06 - 8382

SM2.0 - 3479
SM3.0 - 4535

I wouldn't say PCI-e 1.1 has much to do with it, it's the PD

Yeah, the card is bottlenecked by the CPU for sure. You should list your system specs in the UserCP.

If I can figure out how... lol...

Yeah I figured it was the pD. I want to get an E8500 just not sure when. I thought the pD would hold its ground.. guess not...

BoOsTed SS · Jul 4, 2008, 01:19 AM

Specs are up.

Urbklr · Jul 4, 2008, 01:19 AM

My card ends at 730/1075...pretty darn good for stock volts

Idle's at 50, and load's at 70

...can't wait to get a decent cooler, see what this thing is made of

I got mine at 675/1075 and it is stable. I am going to try 700/1075 at some point.

With my accelero on it my temps don't go over 41° when it is hot in my room so maybe it will go higher, who knows. I wouldn't be afraid to give it voltage now that I have awesome temps.

You using the 8.7 betas? I saw your driver version is a little different than mine.

Sucks the pD can't get the job done. I can't put a C2D on my mobo or I would have one already. I would need another mobo and cpu...

What manufacturer is your card?

I'm using the 8.6 Hotfix.

Sapphire. I am using the 8.6 hotfix too. I thought the driver version would be the same. I had it flashed to an Asus to get the fan control but it didn't work anyhow. I ended up making my own bios with 400/500 2D clocks with better fan speeds. Now I got the AC on it with a 120mm so I don't even have the fan on it, its right into my psu.

Urbklr · Jul 4, 2008, 01:34 AM

Use the MSI bios next time...the new one has 160/500 for 2D clocks, and it uses more voltage than other company's. You should see 700 no problem with that bios, and if you set it to 1.2v in RBE, you should have no trouble getting between 715-740MHz.

Really? I didn't know that.

Do these these cards use the same voltage in 2d and 3d mode?

Urbklr · Jul 4, 2008, 01:42 AM

I have two bios made here, does anyone want them?
1 - 2D=500/750 1.05v 3D=730/1075 1.2v Custom fan settings, gets loud when you game

2 - 2D=160/500 0.95v 3D=675/1000 1.15v Custom fan settings, quieter, and silent when idle

The cards use 1.05v in idle, and most cards vary between 1.1v-1.15v load depending on brand.

BoOsTed SS · Jul 4, 2008, 01:44 AM

I can just make one now. I see where the 2D voltage is. I just didn't get what to do about 3D voltage because the blocks are just "--".

I would I use one of those? Copy and paste? :P

Just make one. Takes 2 seconds. Easy to flash. I did it a couple times now.

I am going to lower my 2D clocks again and I guess use the MSI bios since it has higher voltage, or so he says.

If you leave those blocks like that, then they will stick to what the default is, 1.1-1.15v. I type in "1.25" in that space...and it gets me 1.2v.
