try that to check temp on rv670s

ZenZimZaliben · Dec 21, 2007

I just picked up a Sapphire 3850 for my HTPC. Was wondering if anyone knows for sure if the Zalman FS-V7 Video Card Cooler is compatible with it. I check zalmans site and it was not listed on compatible or incompatible...It does fit on the x1xxx series of ati cards which have the 4 post mounting system, so it might, but I am just not sure.

Any help would be appreciated.

I was looking at the bare pcb for the 3850 and see a LED RED/GREEN ON/OFF Point which I think can be connected to an LED, did you guys see this yet

i noticed that on my 3870, it's by the crossfire connectors.

anyone else got vpu recovery kicking in when running at core@800mhz+ like 860, 890 and so on, on low temps like less than 60c on load, its killing me, looks like ati has put out something on their support pages about this
http://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=27116

yes.. take it as a sign your core isnt stable.. in other words its overclocked too much..

trog

ps.. its got nothing to do with temps.. the core is simply going to fast whatever the temps..

thats a sign that theirs not enough voltage going to the GPU

he he he.. being as he cant alter the voltage (without volt mods) his only alternative is to slow the card down.. lets say its going to fast for the voltage it has.. one can also assume the voltage it has is the voltage ati meant it to have..

so its a sign the card is "overclocked" or going too fast.. lets not confuse the issue too much..

if it was doing it at stock speed that would be a different matter..

Pencil modded my HD3870. 861MHz GPU is now stable in games (used to crash at anything higher than 830). Gonna flash the BIOS and try benching 900+.

u need it gaming stable thow to compare with your 830.. mine at stock voltage runs the fur bench at 885/1300 but to game and be truly stable i agree with your 830 core statement..

these cards seem to have an unusually wide "near stability" factor..

whats max oc with stock cooling??

core isn't heat limited(currently) by the stock cooler, it's volt-limited. the average max stable overclock, whether it's with the stock cooler or not, is about 830-840.
the ram on the other hand is heat limited on the stock cooler. there's almost no airflow over the ramsink because it's covered up. i remedied this by using an antec spot cool(thanks tatty! while i was still on stock cooling and got my ram to about 1250. as soon as i got the zalman on my max stable oc jumped from 1250 to about 1300, but i've had it up to 1375 for benching.
