RBE bug reports

[Flash]

I also had the problem of the window not showing up just this morning. (Worked fine for about a week). Not sure what it upsets it. I'm ok tho, I rarely open RBE, and it's not a big deal to go into registry and delete that key.

3. Works for me with my 3870.


So the fan speed remains 0 until temperature reaches Tmin. After that (+ Tmin hysteresis), fan jumps to the speed it should have regarding transfer function?
Anyone here who can confirm that? VuurVOS, do me one favour, would you? Check with RivaTuner, if the DCmin-value you enter with RBE is displayed correctly.

I can confirm that
my problem, look here

Hi,

i just played around with this TechPowerUp ATI RBE Program. Modified my ATI Radeon Sapphire HD4850 BIOS.

My idea was, to get my Arctic Cooling TwinTurbo Fan always running at a minimum of 45%.

But instead of stay at 0% and works like the transferfunction is set up

Any ideas?

My setup:
Tmin °C 60
Tmax °C 105
Tslope % 20
Duty cycle min %45

Hysteresis %0
Spin up cycle % 0 (also tested 45)
Tmin Hysteresis °C 4 (also tested 0)
Spin up time (units) 2 (also tested 0)

PWM RAMP enabled 1% (also tested disabled)


Thanks
Frashman

Thanks

Posting your issue once is enough, you wont be helped any faster. Your problem is the Tmin. Its 60 degrees. You must lower it to 0 degrees.

4870X2 Fan setting don't work

hi,

i have edit my master 4870x2 bios ( 113-B50902-104 ) ...

... I changed only Tmax value in fan setting : first was to 114° , but i try to set to 85°...


but did not change anything ! : the fun cycle has not increased .


thx

 

[Daytona]

the fun cycle has not increased .

hi,

have RBE v1.20 also this bugfixes ?

 

[aymeric106]

feedback for RBE 1.20

two things:

1st: using the new BIOS extractor, I do a simple acquire then flash with no modification.
I've a got CRC error.I own an HD4830 and I suppose the BIOS size is over 64kb as written in the readme (edit: well, i joined the bios extracted by cpuz, and it's not that big)

http://tof.canardpc.com/show/e2c23be1-84b8-4833-adeb-f68a571c9c96.html


2nd: I use GPUZ to extract the bios. Again, I try to flash the same Bios, with no modification.
This time, I receive a P/N warning (edit: tried with 1.19, same warning)

http://tof.canardpc.com/show/fe91639b-6d1e-423c-9158-41c0e8d51b02.html


Attached: two screenshots + BIOS via GPUZ + BIOS via RBE (new extraction)

two things:

Hi there! Thanks for pointing this out, I really appreciate it.

1st: using the new BIOS extractor, I do a simple acquire then flash with no modification.
I've a got CRC error.I own an HD4830 and I suppose the BIOS size is over 64kb as written in the readme (edit: well, i joined the bios extracted by cpuz, and it's not that big)

Yeah. I just figured that using the new method, one or two bytes inside the BIOS can actually differ from those inside a BIOS ripped the "traditional" way.
I don't know if this is critical. I tried the following: I ripped my BIOS off the card by using the new method, saved it to a file and flashed it back onto the card using WinFlash. WinFlash did this without warnings and errors. The card still works perfectly after rebooting. So I suppose this is not critical.
RBE is a little more stringent than WinFlash is. However, if you are unsure about this, it is safe to rip your BIOS by using the conventional way. Or by using WinFlash directly or using GPU-Z. You can still use RBE to flash your BIOS onto the card, simply check the "force flash" checkbox.

2nd: I use GPUZ to extract the bios. Again, I try to flash the same Bios, with no modification.
This time, I receive a P/N warning (edit: tried with 1.19, same warning)

Yeah, there is just a minor glitch in the P/N-checking procedure in RBE you discovered. This is definitely non-critical and you can safely proceed flashing right away.

Help me PEOPLE!!!

What's all the !!! for ??

I'm also getting 'Invalid file specified. Not an ATI BIOS? - Debug information: 'CheckValid' reported error' for a Sapphire X1950XT 256MB. RBE v1.21.

I've tried my bios saved from different programs & the one on your site, same result.

Any work arounds on that? I desperatley need to up the fan speeds for this card otherwise it hits the mid 90s!!. Currently using ATItool for this but it really needs to be a permanent fix on the card (I can't believe they sold them like that!).

Radeon Bios Editor v1.21-----Bug.

"Use look up table" , check "Write transfer function workaround values to circumvent fan controller bug" .
Save settings on exit , "Tmin Hysteresis Tmin hysteresis" ——the three values will become 0.

Sapphire HD4650 Primary BIOS----It isn's "0".

 

[john01john]

Sapphire HD4650 Primary BIOS
It isn't "0".

Sapphire HD4650 Primary BIOS----It isn's "0".

I tried to reproduce your issue but I dont get the same results (Tmin & Tmin hysteresis are 0). You only need the workaround when the fan doesn't work like expected.

I'm also getting 'Invalid file specified. Not an ATI BIOS? - Debug information: 'CheckValid' reported error' for a Sapphire X1950XT 256MB. RBE v1.21.

RBE supports cards from 2900 XT upwards only.

The feature does exactly what it is supposed to do. If you don't suffer from the fan controller bug, just uncheck this feature.

I searched for hours now, I can't fix this Problem.....

Please post your BIOS.

 

[Sirius666]

Well, I get this Error while I try to save, or do you want the original BIOS?
If you do : http://rapidshare.com/files/270980915/MSI_HD_4870_X2_T2D2G-OC_GPU_BIOS.rar

 

[BAGZZlash]

Hm. I'm unable to reproduce the problem. What version of RBE are you using? What settings exactly are you trying to set? Did you use the original file or a BIOS that had been altered before?

 

[Sirius666]

I used the Bios i uploaded.
Its fresh from my Card.
I Tried to make the MHZ to 200 in some Values and the Fanspeed.
Well im using RBE 1.21.
Here, i just changed the MHZ Values.
Here some Pic's.

[BAGZZlash]

Still: Unable to reproduce. I changed the settings just as in your pics, no problem here. See: Click!

 

[Sirius666]

Well, I know my mistake now.
I load the BIOS with GPU z now i did it with Winflash and everyting was fine.
But I got another problem now.
I did Overclocking, and Underclocking.
I set Tmin to 70, Tmax to 98 and Cycle min to 30%.
But now if my Card reaches 75 the Fan is at 100%.
Im not able to control it....

 

[Assimilator1]

RBE supports cards from 2900 XT upwards only.

Ah ok, my bad, don't know how I missed that in the docs .
Know of any other progs that can edit X1950 bios files? (other than hex editing).

Thanks .
