Tried with RBE 1.09, x1950pro AGP version. I saved the bios with Atiwinflash 2.0.0.7

I receive this error message:



Thanx! ;)
The problem is your graphics card. Its too old for the editor. You need RaBiT. This answer was also written in the starters post.

RBE - Radeon BIOS editor

Current version: v1.09

Further references
- A great video BIOS database for many cards is provided by Techpowerup.com.

- Techpowerup.com also provides WinFlash, the tool you might want to use to extract the BIOS image from your video card and to flash the modified BIOS image upon it. If you dislike flashing tools for Windows, use ATIFlash and a boot disc or USB stick instead.

- Once again techpowerup.com: You can use their tool GPU-Z to extract you video BIOS as well. Note that clock settings changed with RBE are not properly displayed by GPU-Z, use the hardware monitor function of Rivatuner for that.

- If you have an older ATI video card, try RaBiT.

- For nVidia users, there's the NiBiTor.

BTW Thank you for all your time you put in to this and supporting the 2900 :) :)..

i don't get the point ...

I have the exact same card and mine seems to have been working properly when I had the fan. If I am not mistaken it would run 100% anytime it was above 45 - 50C. I have been able to cool my case to around 25C and my card temps never above 40 C and fan never broke more than 80% or so and would run as low as 40% with no load. I now use chilled water and temps never reach more than 21-22C.

So, it looks like this fan (PowerColor 3850 AGP) has a speed controll. But how you manage to cool this card below 40 C? That fan and copper radiator are very efficient but still you can't reach such low temeperatures even in 2D mode... and noisy fan works at 100% speed. Have you used watercooling?? I want to remain with PowerColor cooler if its possible...:confused:

Maybe he lowered his gpu clock and did some undervolting. A good airflow could also cause this.

I will try to explain for the moment as I don't have much time to post pics of my rig. I had a 7800gs before the powercolor and it was connected in watercooling setup that cooled my CPU/NB/Vid card(2 blocks on card). As soon as I got my new card I simply took the old card out the loop but didn't put the new card onto water, just used the fan. Since my setup allows me to pull air off my cooled down radiator (can get as low as 3C at times) into my case, I can then cool down my case temps to as low as 23C (according to everest). Therefore when using the fan on my Powercolor and cool case temps I was able to get very low temps with the fan. Now that the card is watercooled I never seem to break 24C, up a little from 20C originally due to the warm temperatures in my room. Not only is the temps outside rising, but I also have an AC unit blowing all the hot air off the radiator into my room making it quite uncomfortable at times. I am gonna have to chill my room just to keep myself cool, sheesh its just a never ending cycle!!

First pic is a side shot, the rad on the back is the last stop before the liquid goes back to the chiller. THis allows me to extract cool air into the case by means of 3 120 fans. Once pushes fan into rad, one between the rad and the case pulls air in, then last one in the case helps pull a little more. I use this setup because I also have a couple of air filters sandwiched in between the rads and fans to help keep dust to a minimum!! I live in the desert where winds (like today) can reachs gusts of up to 60 mph and dust ends up everywhere.

Second pic is of my aerocool controller showing the temp on the cpu block, shows 3.8C just blurry due to having to lower resolution for posting here.

I just recently upgraded to the 3850agp card, and I am already looking at doing another upgrade. I am giving the Asrock 4coredual sata2 a shot with a e6700 cpu. Will be basically just switching mobo and cpu and all else will remain the same, hopefully this will be an easy transition over to socket 775. I have been on this P4 3.2e @ 3.9ghz for nearly about 2 years now and am ready to move up.

Never had a problem here. Did you ran as admin?

I've tested on:
Vista x86 SP0 + SP2
Vista x64 SP0 + SP2
XP x86
XP x64 Pro

Haven't test it on MC Edition!

hi BAGZZlash

thanks for the tool, its easy to tweak the bios with this tool.. and now i can get the 100% full speed fan at anytime, like we all know atitool and rivatuner cant always lock the speed fan to 100% at all time.. coz i dont care with the noise, i just wont the card to be cool..
i have sapphire hd3650 256mb ddr3 with default speed 725/800, it can go to 775/975 without artifact in atitool with default voltage (1.25v read in RBE1.09)

i need help here BAGZZlash, i wanted the card to go faster than 775/975 with the voltage tweak, i already try to raise the voltage to 1.3 and 1.35, but its always bsod when core clock is set to 800/1000 in atitools scan4artifacts. same in mem clock too, if i set to 750/1000 the artifact will comes but no bsod.. it seems the mem clock stuck @975 and the core @775 even i raise the voltage..

one thing that i dont know is; is the voltage really raisin up? in fact in gpuz or rivatuner cant read the real voltage, can you help me resolve this issue.. just wondering to set this card to 800/1000, coz in idle this card just have 40 degree celc @ 775/975, full load at 65 degree celc..

sorry 4 my bad grammer, cheers 2 BAGZZlash, thx 4 this great tool btw =D

RBE can just program the video card to set the voltages entered. It's uncertain if those settings are applied well by the card. It depends on the voltage transformer used by the video card vendor. Some video cards just don't apply those settings but most of the cards simply can't exceed a hardware limit given by the transformer. In those cases, a hardware mod is inevitable.

Modding Bios on poercolor 3850 512Mb

Ati tool will OC my card to 776/1066 is it worth my while trying to mod bios? how mush higher may it go?

To increase the voltage do I just increase the state2 mode 3 high3d voltage, save, reflash with ati flash, reboot then try to OC again and see if it goes higher.

What is a safe volatge level for this card.

Bit of a nebee, and want to push card but not fry it.

Are the state 2 modes 1 and 2 for powerplay, as the powercolor card has all set to same frequencies, and does not move between frequencies with games desktop etc.

Thanks for any help.

I just finished making a HIS tubo bios with increased voltage and higher fan speeds. Could anyone who actually knows what they are doing take a look at the pics, and make sure everything looks ok? Thanks.:toast:

That looks fine to me, not sure how the stock cooler handles temps at the increased voltage but mu first thoughts were that your initial fan speeds were a bit high but it's better to be safe than sorry when playing with them volts!.....good job!

The extra voltage is for headroom, incase someone wants to take the OC further. My cards currently have the same clocks, with the fans set at 89% via RivaTuner but my volts are at 1.30v.

Yeah, I must say this program is completely awesome! Adjusted the bios' for my cards, plus someone else's card, all a success! I've turned my 3870's into fire breathing monsters! Getting 900+ on the cores and they are staying cool! :toast:

Tool for flashing?

What do you guys use to re-flash card?

If done from dos prompt bootable CD etc. what are the command parameters.

a step by step guide for us newbees would be a big help.

Powercolor HD3850 512Mb with 776/1056 with ATItool.

Bios on powercolor sets all speeds to same at 2d & 3D (720/900), is this disabling powerplay? would changing 2D and low3D to lower speeds (300/900)) re-enable it?

thanks in advance.

Does the winflash utility work with the HD3850 cards? as I would feel happier flashing with a windows utility than a DOS one.

Whilst you're in the answering mood, thanks for that, is modding the bios as easy as RBE makes it look, load, mod speeds &/or voltages then save and reflash.

It looks very staight forward, but worried about killing card

thanks again for help.
