yes Alcpone it does because my friend has the same board im sure its go in bios advance,chipset settings then it should be the dram frequency change it from ddr400 to 333 and then see if you can clock any further if not then the cpu is going to require a bump in voltage good luck Oc

Knocked ram down to 166Mhz and went for 230 FSB, appeared like it would boot, but just after post it said a system32 file was missing, which it has done in the past when the bios had to be reset and I forgot to put 1st hdd drive to right 1 lol

So went back to check it aint changed itself and it hadnt, so went back to previous oc and worked straight away!

I will get a nice oc with DDR800 though shouldnt I? I know the board will only run it @ 667 @ stock but atleast there is room for oc'ing and when I get a new mobo that can support higher ram speeds I will have the stuff already, thats my theory anyway!

:confused:

yer once you get some ddr2 memory you should be flying but the main reason why the board is a poor clocker is because it has a via chipset and the ram ratio's dont always work right yes but you can go from ddr667 and then clock up to whatever the ram does

So there shouldnt be much of a issue if I put DDR800 in it? I dont want to buy it if the mobo aint gonna recognise it!

no what it will do is auto clock itself down to ddr667 and then you just manuelly increase it to ddr800

cmon people i want to see some benchmarks n that

that your card at stock ?

yes stock speeds 580/700

TUngsten · Dec 15, 2006

Isn't that low for a x1950pro? I'd expect higher...what's the 06 score?

mitsirfishi · Dec 15, 2006

i scored stock with a 2.8 pentuim D at 635/1480 stock speeds 4.5k we should be scoring around 5k stock but as we dont all have core 2's e6600 and 2gb of corsair xms ram n that that is why some of us are scoring lower

L|NK|N · Dec 15, 2006

you guys think that score is low..I have yet to break 9k on 05. :wtf:

Tatty_Two · Dec 15, 2006

Really?, a 7900GS can hit 9000, something dont quite seem right there?

L|NK|N · Dec 15, 2006

My Proc????? maybe my PSU with only 18 amps on 12v rail. :wtf:

You overclocking your CPU?

Just try to OC the CPU some and see what happens..

I score like 7500 in 05 btw. :eek:

I haven't updated BIOS for awhile, so I'm still stuck with that stupid 274Mhz limit. And I know I can go much further, so it feels kinda lame to run the CPU @ only 2466 Mhz.. Also, then I must run the memory @ 174Mhz, and that feels really lame.

technicks · Dec 15, 2006

That is not enough for your card.
30 amps on 12v rail is recommended. Make that 25 amps. They screw you for the other 5.

Tatty_Two · Dec 15, 2006

[517th]LiNKiN said:
nope

Prob not your PSU then just the fact that your CPU is running at stock, that in fact is good because at least you know that all is well, if you clocked your CPU by just say 200Mhz you would prob get 300-500 points increase.

Really? shit didnt realise that, thats a lot, even the power hungry 1800XT didnt require that kinda zip. thats probably his answer then!

technicks · Dec 15, 2006

I searched at a lot of forums and many people are having problems with underpowered psu's and X1950's running to hot and/or crashing. Including me. So i went for the Hiper 580 W, 38 amps on 12v rail. No change :banghead:

But i will try one more thing before rma or selling. I have the Accelero X2 mounted. This cooler does not cool the back of the card so i am going to stick some ram sinks on them.

I hope this works. Or else it's bye bye Sapphire for now. :nutkick:

the 274 limit has been corrected about 6 BIOS releases ago!

I found with my 1800XT with overclocks that the back of my board was getting hot so I fixed a 80mm fan up behind it about 5 CM's away (actually had it fixed to my heatsink!) and it worked a treat.

Is that the 512Mb version in the pic?

Ive got it order and its ment to be here next week, hopefully!

I dont know how that newer more powerful psu is giving you the same issues?

I hope I dont get any issues!

technicks · Dec 15, 2006

Good idea. Going to try that tomorrow. :toast:
