Tkpenalty's X1950~HD4k Clubhouse

Sheesh, so many cables.. you don't have a window on that thing do you?
I got most of my cables hidden and off the mainboard, especially so it's not blocking the airflow of the fans.

'll take some pictures of the card by the way tkpenalty.

x2'ed

Do some cable management and read the rules. 800x600 sized images only now.... That is scary. PLEASE DON'T KILL US WITH THE LACK OF CABLE MANAGEMENT!!! You wouldn't need those fans if the cables weren't horribly unorganized.

2 OPTICAL DRIVES - 5 HDDs - 1 FLOPPY - 2 USB REAR EXTRA CONTROLLERS - 8 8CM FANS - 1 12CM FAN - POWER CABLES FOR THE MAINBOARD AND ATI...

How am i suppose to do cable management ???

boecke · Jan 19, 2007

Hmmm, basically you can use cable ties if you like.. to tie up cables that you can push behind places like in between the CD-ROM drives and the HDD stack.

What I did was just moved all the cables off the mainboard, I tied them up with cable ties and rubber bands, then I tried to push them out of the way.. I had to unplug some cables though to get them all sorted out and untangled.

Just fitted a Zalman VF900 to my Sapphire X1950Pro, along with heatsinks for the VRM's. Fantastic bit of kit, idle temps have gone from 45c to 34c, max load from 68c to 46c! I had none of the reported problems with the Sapphire card, I just wanted to upgrade the cooling, which this kit has done nicely. Had to get a bit creative with a hacksaw to cut the heatsinks to fit the VRMs, but very satisfying to see that it works so well. No rise in case temps either.

If you lived in either the USA or Australia you would have the problem of heat in summer.

That is the reason why Ultimate was introduced. The reference is complete copper >_>. Yeh... change the thermal gum. Any thermal paste does better than thermal GUM

That is untrue, the PCB of the standard Sapphire card is pre-drilled for the Ultimates' heatsink, which proves that the Ultimate was in the pipeline from the beginning.

That untrue dude, zalman coolers were designed to fit. They weren't pre-drilled because the holes on all the standard X1950PROs are the same. They weren't made for the ultimates' heatsink, the Zalman VF900CU Sapphire Custom with the other heatsinks were MADE for the X1950PRO.

At the moment I have the central heating up high (25c) and am getting those temps. Say it was 30c, I'd still only have 50c under load.

What? I've had my card apart today, and have seen the holes which take the screws for the Ultimates heatsink, I'm not talking about the holes for the cooler itself. If not designed specifically for the Ultimate, they are there for the fitment of a heatsink. Why else would there be holes there.

Maju · Jan 19, 2007

Well here's mine

Saphire X1950XTX with Thermalright HR03 on Abit AT8 32x Crossfire/AMD 64 3700+

oversize heatsink on Ram just coz they were lying around and extra fan to cool them when necessary. Both fans linked to fan controller to adjust manually.

Only scores around 5200 in 3Dmark06. Is it me or is this a bit low?
CPU@2.2ghz - 2GB pc3200 Ram

That said it still does pretty well with anything i've thrown at it so far

:cool:

boecke · Jan 19, 2007

You're doing better than me in 3DMark06, I get around 4800 3DMarks.
That looks pretty nice actually, good job mate.

HellasVagabond · Jan 20, 2007

The 3700 is propably bottlenecking your XTX...

boecke · Jan 20, 2007

What would you suggest as a replacement?
Something from the X2 range? AMD 3800+ X2 maybe.

cdawall · Jan 20, 2007

a 3700 will NOT bottleneck an XTX are you crazy?

oh and a 3800 X2 is only 2ghz just dual core so it would be worse than the 2.4ghz 3700

Tatty_Two · Jan 20, 2007

Boecke dont replace the 3700, overclock it, it will do 3.1Gig no problems.

how do you get 4800 in 3dmark06 with a xfire setup??? my single x1950pro scores 4900 :confused:

boecke · Jan 20, 2007

I haven't got the CrossFire card in yet, ahaha.

xman2007 · Jan 20, 2007

so whats that score with ? a x1950xt ? still seems a low score :ohwell:

niko084 · Jan 20, 2007

How are the standard ATI branded X1950Pro coolers and cards, looking at buying one very soon to replace my x1300xt, and probably another gig of ram to go with it.

boecke · Jan 20, 2007

Well for starters, I don't have DDR2 memory.. and secondly I don't have a Dual Core Processor, like you do (duh) hence the 100 or so 3DMark difference.

There you go

The CPU Test in 3DMark06 explain why. I bet you will get a higher score than a XTX if you have QX6700....
