zotac 8800 gt dissappointed me a lot

[jurrasstoil]

Oh, just to point it out:

The 8800GT throttles at 100°C - nvidia MIGHT have a reason for this this makes 80-90°C look pretty damn hot.

 

[Solaris17]

u dont know anything with temps and just talk here

i was using my 8800gts at 648/1620/1044 mhz full stabil at summer @89 C

than i make some improvements at my cooling system

temps never exceeded 69 C

but nothing changed

since the vcore trouble shot down temp is 110 C

um i think he might know something about temps...because no matter who you are you should know 110ºC is rediculously hot and your stuff will burn out in like 3 weeks.

 

[cefurkan]

omg i dont remember i wanted help

i just shared my feelings and my toughts

and still i can say who says 80 C is hot he is totaly ignorant

beacuse when u set the fan auto at default mhz

card goes up until 90 C

if it was risky the company had to be fool that allowed to card goes up until 90 C while everything default

 

[giorgos th.]

there is a lack o Voltage in this G92 core...with only 1.1Vgpu you must wish to get a high speed-binned core...
from my experience improving the cooling wont help a lot....BUT,increasing the Vgpu will give you the best boost....
with water i managed to run 3dmark06 at 802/1944/1018.....

ok my apologies but please watch your attitude talking back/arguing/ or being totally ignorant or rude to me or anyother member is not ok for ANYONE

ur mhz are really impressive

did u give any vcore

if u didnt could u upload ur bios for me

ty very much

 

[giorgos th.]

1.1Vgpu...watercooled..
open it with nibitor 3.5a and flash with nvflash 5.57.

ty very much

at least i could get some usefull info

and one more question

what is ur card

is it zotac or gigabyte or xfx etc ?

 

[giorgos th.]

eVGA.

 

[cefurkan]

wrong post

 

[cefurkan]

eVGA.

well i opened ur bios but still shows there 1.05 at default

is it correct ?



and do u think could there be any problem at ram timing

here is my default bios and the image of ur bios that u gave

 

[cefurkan]

i checked timings they are same

 

[giorgos th.]

Voltage 4 is your 3D Vgpu.
0.95V Vmem - 1V Vgpu 2D - 1.05V Vgpu 3D low i guess - 1.1V Vgpu 3D..



the timings are the same..

i didnt understand what u mean

if u mean vid mode at me the voltage 4 is 1.1 already

at exact mode same that u uploaded 1.05

 

[giorgos th.]

i say that the Voltages are as they supposed to be..

 

[cefurkan]

i say that the Voltages are as they supposed to be..

so u didnt give any voltage

i was misunderstanding u

 

[giorgos th.]

No extra Vgpu.

 

[cefurkan]

No extra Vgpu.

i dont loose anything with trying


ty

at least u try to give some usefull info

I see you are adding voltage by soft mod

 

[giorgos th.]

you cannot add voltage with softmod...the GT has got fixed resistors...
only with trimmers you can do it..

No, actually 1.05V is 2D mode, the card apparently gets the full 1.1V for 3D mode. For anyone who wants to void their warranty I have found a voltmod (courtesy of our friends in Xtremesystems)for the 8800GT, there is also a pencil mod for the memory which should give some more speed, for any pencil mod beginners....the pencil mod (2B pencil recommended)can be easily reversed with some normal cleaning fluid used for CPU cleanup and a cotton wool bud, you can try the pencil for the VGPU but it's unlikely to work as the resistance is already set so low, that will need the soldering iron, it looks a little too "busy" for conductive ink.

As always, aftermarket cooling is advised, dont waste a perfectly good card by ignoring that! Indications in the thread are that the GPU could take 1.4V!!!! If I get one of these cards I personally wont risk beyond 1.2V which is easy enough if you use a variable resistor but if you are using a fixed one (meaning the increased voltage will be running 24/7 as opposed to being able to increase or decrease when needed on a variable) than you need to calculate the resistor required, I can help anyone with that that is a novice to the soldering iron.

I am of course not suggesting anyone do this, I meerly post for information.

Damn just read the full thread that I posted above......cores near 900Mhz and shader clocks exceeding 2000Mhz

thnx for informations bro

i may try pencil mode too

but first i will try evga ssc bios

Kind of just invites you to add some juice doesent it
