ok is it just me or do the built by ati 9800 XT's not like overclocking,
this is a fresh RMA 9800 XT from ATI. and if i didnt know any better i say its brand new not remanned/ there arent any signs of use, and not one single scratch on the AGP pins where it had been used before.
i cant go over 440 gpu without artifacts, and memory screw it i cant even touch it.
the temps, in my opinion are insane. 60+ C idle and 70+ after gaming and benchmarks.
that TOO HOT in my book even for a video card. so..
and im reading temps in ATI Tool and the ATI control panel.
i have a temp probe im probably gunna install but i wont even bother removing the HSF is these are the right temps.
im looking to flash the bios, ive checked here already and all the bios's here are the same version as mine. or older.
does anyone have a bios that they use right now that overclocks the card really nicely ?
and reads temps properly ? or keeps the card cooler.
hell my 9700 pro @ 380/340 NEVER went past 53 C. that was no matter how long i gamed it was a cool running card.
someone,,, anyone ?
