powercolour x800 pro overheating!!!

[paulm34]

had the x800 pro non vivo for about 6 months maybe more. Everytime i enable the ati over drive it puts white lines across the screen . I had the ati over drive turned on for about 5 months untill this happened, it sometimes shuts pc off . Is there a problem with these cards over heating. I used ati tool to turn the fan up to 100% but its noisey and turned it down again . i did a scan for atifacts with ati tool, and the temp went up to about 80 deg .So i quickly turned the fan to 100% to cool it down. surly it should not get that hot. please help

remove thermal paste and redo it or use warranty

actualy 80c is considered within the norm for that card under load

80c is fine considering what temperatures 6600gt and 6800 can go 2 130c find out what the shut off temperture is for the x800pro

I had a Powercolor X800Pro which did reach those temps under load with the stock cooler. I purchased the Artci Cooler and flashed it to XT pipelines and speeds...and after that it only reached around 65degC max... 80degC is fine IF you don't get any probs...if you do...then its a prob...

Seems temps are normal then thanks. But i thought you can't flash a powercolour x800 pro non vivo to an xt

ur card is a x800pro non vivo so you cant flash it to a x800xt pe.. first things are that your pipelines are laser cut and need to be hard moded.. you can find guides about hard moding your card. altho it can cost you if u damage the core etc. the hard mod is pretty much rejoining the laser cut pipes with manicure i can give u a link if u want.

this shud be enough for you to turn your card into a x800xt

That likely won't work, cause on those cards the pipes are usaly locked in the core aswell.

Btw, you can still flash to a 12 pipe xtpe. (moded for 2.0ns ram)

just took card out and removed fan ect to see what is involved to connect the extra pipes. All i can say that, micro surgery . I will need a micro scope to see thoses connections. i think i might leave it, as is

had the x800 pro non vivo for about 6 months maybe more. Everytime i enable the ati over drive it puts white lines across the screen .

The first time I used overdrive it did the same thing without high temps. I stopped using it and now only use ATI tool with no problems.

My x800xt pe idles at 39-42 degrees celsius and is at load about 60 degrees
with overdrive enabled.
Stock speeds with a ati silencer 4
