Tek said:I successfully unlocked my Sapphire X800 Pro Vivo to 16p using the ATi X800 Pro Vivo bios, but using the stock clock speed.
I tried to change the clock speed to 520/560 using atitool, but when i try to run the artifact test, my computer hangs and black screens.
At stock Pro Vivo speed, the card works fine with the extra 4 pipes enabled. So is it safe to say that the problem is voltage?
I have also tried other bios like the x800xt (500/500) and x800xt pe (520/560, 526/573), but all those bios made my computer hang and black screen during artifact test and games.
Btw, I have the Arctic Silencer 4, so I don't believe the tempurature is the problem.
Tek said:Yeah, I have read the article in the past. I just want to eliminate some of the reasons as to why my card is locking up at speeds higher than stock.
So is it possible that the extra 4 pipes that I enabled are defective in any way? But then again, I am not shown any artifacts or any crashes with 16p and stock speed.
mantaray said:If it artifacts and not squares then it is memory related due to not enough volts or too much heat. have you made sure that you tightened your artic cooler tight,(first the core screws then the memory screws.
I have the same card and cooler and when i removed my cooler one memory chip was not even in contact, so i used a bit more Artic 5 on that chip and it was fine.
Squares all over the screen are from the core if some of you pipes are corrupt.
From what I have read there are very few cards that won't do 16 pipes and 500.500 especially Sapphire.
Ah OK, so "XT800" is normal, thx for that info.mantaray said:
Mr. Pipi said:hi,
first:i´m from germany and so i hope u excuse for my english.
well, i got a sapphire x 800 pro vivo and flashed my bios to different xt pe bios from diffrent producer like sapphire,connect 3d etc. benchmarks like aquamark 3 or 3d mark 05 work without problems but when starting far cry, in some levels i got a bluescreen or freeze.and when i check this problem with ati tool "scan for artifacts" there appears the first error after 0.0 sec. the bios i used was (lol) from sapphire.so i flashed my old bios again and checked for my max core and mem.it increased up to 530/570 and perhaps it would increas more and more if i didn´t stop the test.so i thougt that my x 800 could run stable with a xt pe bios and so i´ve checked out an other bios. i ´ve chosen the power colour xt pe bios.far cry runs now stable and there doesn´t appear a bluescreen yet. but when testing with ati tool "scan for artifacts" there still come errors, but now after 3.5 min. a little improvement. so i increased the fan speed up to 100%.
and then the error appears after 7.5 min.i have the ac ati silencer 4.
could anyone help me with my problem. i want the scan test run for infinity min without problems.
so what could i do without flashing a xt or pro bios, i want the best matching xt pe bios for my x 800.
so i ´d like to thank u for ur answers

I loaded up ati tool and tested core and memory at xt speeds without any problems. I then flashed the bios to ATI x800xt pe. When I check the pipes in ati tool, I saw that it was now reporting 16 pipes, however when I started the scan for artifacts test, my computer froze immediately. I rebooted and decided to start up quake3 to see if it would have any problems, it froze immediately and I got an ATI GPU error after a few seconds. I flashed it back to x800 pro bios and have been running it for a couple of days without any problems. I just can't figure out why I can't do anything after flashing to xt. I tried the regular xt bios and had the same problem. I flash the xt pe bios again and underclocked the core and mem back to pro speeds. same lockup problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

When i got my card i softmod my card to x800 pro with 16p active(not xt pe) but when i oc'ed my card with atitool (520/560 xtpe stock speed) my computer rebooting it self. anyone could help me?
is my card not capable running at xt pe stock speed? i heard some ppl using the 523/573 xtpe bios and successfully softmod their card. can someone give me the link to this bios. I plan to flash xt pe bios and give it a try, but before that do i have to flash empty bios first?
