Does your intel pentium D do well with games? What kind of speed is it? 3GHz? I have a single core 3GHz intel (32bit architecture) and my card at 16p 700/700 doesn't come close to your 3dmark05 score... In fact, it doesn't come close to anyone else's score. I can't find anyone else with a dell dimension 4700 though (thats what I use.) I think the motherboard and processor combo is what is holding my score back so much.

CPU-Z says I have an intel pentium 4 530 Prescott LGA 775 at 3GHz with Hyper Threading and 800MHz FSB... 16kbytes L1 data, 12kuops L1 trace, 1024 KBytes L2 cache

I get 7077 in 3dmark05 at 16p 700/700... I'm actually debating on another forum weather or not an upgrade to my processor would yeild 3000 points in 3dmark05. When Intel Conroe processors come out, I'm aiming at upgrading to that and prooving them all wrong.

I had a 530 a year a go thats only with 1 MB l2 cahce, for conroe you will need a new motherboard with Intel 975X i sugest Asus P5 WDH Deluxe and a new power suply,and DDR2 667 or 800 mhz, but 3d mark 05 is not all that much about the cpu like 3d mark 2001.

A new power supply? I thought the conroe motherboards will be 24pin? Also, I have two sticks DDR2 667 and two sticks of DDR2 400, will the 400 sticks not work?

I'm starting think about going with an AM2 socket setup if I have to buy another two sticks of memory simply to upgrade to conroe. I've got four 512 sticks. If I take out the ddr2 400 sticks, I notice no performance increase, but of course longer loading times and that sort of thing from taking a gig away from my computer...

How much do you think I could get for 2 sticks of ddr2 400 512mb and two sticks of ddr2 400 256mb?

First of all i don't now how they work togheder ddr2 and ddr 1 on the same mb,they are not supposed to work in this way, thats yout problem your ddr1 work maybe at the same latecies like ddr2, make a screnshot with cpuz or everest at the memory configuration.

lol, no there both ddr2... But I checked where I bought them at crucial.com. One set is their performance line, balistix, the other set is just some normal DDR2 400...

thanks got the BIOS.
ok first of all the sapphire cards are crap!!! i have tryed everything thats is to do.. it is impossible to get the volt more then 1.2 stable. i have tryed it all now and that is a fact.. there is nothing more to do with this card untill i find a hard vmod guide and there isnt any.
cant get the damn card over 590/630 and thats final. i have tryed every bios mod and orginal bios there is.


it's beacuse your power is 5 phase, not 6

His 1800 Gto Iceq III Turbo Beyond Unlocked

hardware specs...

PC POWER AND COOLING 510 DELUXE PSU
DFI LANPARTY UT CFX3200-DR MOTHERBOARD
2X512 CORSAIR PC3200 XL XMS 1.2 BRAINPOWER DDR

2X HIS 1800 GTO ICEQ III TURBO IN CROSSFIRE

1X RAPTOR 36 GIG HDD WITH / DUAL BOOT TO XP 32 AND XP 64
1X WD 250 GIG W 16 MEG CACHE HDD STORAGE DRIVE





Ok this is what i did.

i used atiwinflash 110 to make a backup of my current firmware
ok done

then i used HxDen hex editor to modify the backup i just made to unlock the pipes.
ok done now i have a working *.rom file with pipes unlocked.

then i used RaBit 2.1 to edit the backed up rom file, got the error , kept on going, and modified the voltages.
ok done.

set gpu to 1.225 v and left clock speeds default, which is 520 gpu 1000 ddr-3
ok saved , done

**** notice at this step make another backup of the original firmware**** and save somewhere

time to flash

then i used atiwinflash 110 to flash the backed up modded firmware to the card

screen went blank....... desktop came back up. after 5 seconds or so
looks like it worked, rebooted

checked atitool and shazaaaam 16 pipes

ok now


i used a the newest RIVATUNER to set the fan speed to full.


next i used ati overclocker 3.70 to increase the ddr-3 voltages ( it can also raise the gpu voltage ) both in realtime, that means it raises as you move the slider

ok done




used atitool to increase the gpu and ddr-3 speed

final oc at gpu = 1.250 core volts
final oc at ddr-3= 2.5 core and i/o volts


650 gpu @ 16 pipes
1400 ddr-3

idle @ 45 c


ALERT **** be carefull with Rabit , not to change the ddr-3 latencies , i did it by accident, so dont click the realtime box under the memory tab in rabit

again NO NOT click the realtime box in rabit under memory tab

if you do, don't make any changes and exit rabit

or it will mess your performance up bigtime
and i mean bigtime, it changes the ddr-3 latencies all of them.

so once again double check you ddr-3 timming against the unmodded backup of the stock firmware to verify default/stock ddr-3 latencies


i am betting money that with the right ddr-3 latency timming and voltage I could get this card alot faster especially with a water cooling system

around 750 gpu and prolly around 1500 ddr-3

but its just a guestimation




well there it is

every thing you need to unlock the REAL power of the HIS gto iceq 3 turbo video cards

Yea its interesting to find someone with a gto crossfire setup. Is it true theres no need for a master card and cable and stuff?

I've heard bad things with winflash. Its ok to use when you want to backup the bios but sometimes a flash to the card can mess it up. Turns out yours seems to be ok...

How were you able to change memory voltage? I think the IceQ version might include this while the normal version did not... Also, are you sure you modded both cards and not just one? Whats your 3dmark05 score?

yes

yes its true but you need to be using a ati 3200 chipset based motherboard, both card are unlocked and fully plug and play crossfire configuration

2 1800 gto cards identacal

not master or slave

fully plug and play


worked like a champ

only issue that arose was the chipset tempature

because of the iceq cooling system, blocks air flow

replaced chipset fan with a thermaltake blower fan

beautie

now never goes over 40 c

ldt 275
ddr 240
cpu 2600

gpu 650
ddr-3 1300

x 2

fully stable


so do the math


gotta role out to work

peeeeec

From what i read the Saphire has the less probability of unlocking and the HIS has the higher, but not all the cards unlock, i got a power color but i didn't unlock it because it's powerfull enough for me
HAPPY GAMING

Never heard of a GTO TURBO, without being the HIS :wtf: , like i said the all the vendors sell card that can be unlocked, some vendors have more probability of their cards getting unlocked, like HIS, Saphire has less

I have GeCube X1800GTO with GB_PIPE_SELECT 0x12BB4 and it wont unlock, can I somehow change it to 0x3FE4? I tried 3 modded GTO BIOS even the XL one still wont unlock....

Max overclock is 651MHz on the core 1.3V and 711MHz 2.2V on the mem. Maximum temperature is 85, and any higher voltage on the core will result in lockups, probably because I have 5 phase/mosfets whatever you guys called it. Is changing to better cooler like ThermalRight V1 Ultra will increase its overclockability?

I would love to buy the VF900Cu but its currently unavailable at my place, I been waiting for months and still only the VF700 is available. Other than V1 Ultra is Accelero X2 but I heard that it isnt as good as the V1 or VF900 one, is it true?
