yeah i read that. so its definatley a cold bug and raising the 2d clocks doesnt fix this ?
thats a worry as my water cooling is too cool sometimes with water temps below 10celcius (ive seen 15 degrees idle & 55 load at 4.1Ghz on my i7. hopefully putting the card in the loop with keep temps above 30C.
thanks
When I fire up my rig, but the time I see a GPU core temp it's around 22-24C. I have Furmark in the startup folder so it pops up and all I have to do is click on a couple settings and then hit go. My basement is as cool as 16C, so I'm hoping spring will help. I have tried raising the 2D clocks, but it still does not generate enough heat to warm it up. Maybe a BIOS flash with some custom clocks or voltage might, but I am not ready for that yet.
Is your home really that cool that the water could be below 10 C? That's less than 50 F, and you might as well be living in a refridgerator! Otherwise, I doubt the sensors are accurate then.
? I dunno this sounds like an issue with your chip. A coldbug implies that you're already at sub zero temps when you hit it. You typically see it at -20C on most highend chips these days (annoying for those who like to go for extreme OC records.) Yours is a warm bug,or really the warmest cold bug I've ever heard of. To me that says something's up.
Yes, it is a "cold bug," as it only happens because the chip is cooled down too much. And yes, cold bugs on CPU's usually only show up when you are below freezing, but in this case it's different. I would consider a warm bug something around normal tempeartures, and a hot bug as overheating.
I'm not the only one who has seen this (lowdog on XS has it too), and there have been other video cards in the past that have had different cold bugs as well.
