Is there one on the board I can tap into ?

Andy

 

no one ?


Andy

 

dont think so mate,
you should fit an aftermarket cooler, if you are going to clock up the thing though....

Erm no you dont, the stock cooler is quite sufficent to push the core settings up a far old way and still keep the GPU with heat tollerance.

I got mine to near 440core and 375mem on the stock cooling, now sitting happily at 480core and 380mem with a water cooling system.

can't get nowhere near those settings Jinksy.

best I can get before jitters and holes etc is:



That's one of the reasons I was wondering if it was getting too hot !

Andy

 

arent those figures the standrad figures for the power color 9800

 

Bit of a sore point that Steve. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Power colour boards are not clocked any higher than any of the other 98800 Pro's.

Only the Gold / testers editions were played with from factory.
and they are like gold dust apparently.
wish I'd known that before hand.

 

not to stretch a point out but i thought nick advised you on this before you bought mines sitting happily at 423core and 365 memory

 

I believe nick only said that the memory chips were not likely to be the Hynix ones... which had less latency.

Andy

 

Try upping the AGP voltage a bit that helps a bit for upping the core speeds....

Steve

 

I can burn my finger on the dam heat sink now.
would rather get a temp probe sorted first.

Cheers for the advise though.
