X1900gt Unlock Bios Found!!!

[bartouze]

I have tried ATI tools, doesn't seem to work.

The autodetect function makes my computer crash.

When I try to raise memory or GPU clock, I get artifacts on the whole screen (lines of color), and if I try several settings it ends up crashing
This happens while I'm still very far from what I manage to obtain with ccc

 

[hot_fifty]

I works really smooth here.. no problems..

 

[hot_fifty]

autodetect?

 

[tofu]

can you RMA it

I will.

Have you ever taken a HSF off a video card?

No time. Post pics of naked core and mem later.

 

[tofu]

hot_fifty, have you tried the 1.4125VGPU bios?

 

[bartouze]

autodetect?

The function that finds automatically the maximum settings for your gpu and mem frequencies.

As the overclocking was not working, I haven't tried to raise the voltage for the gpu...

My x1900GT is a Sapphire.

ATITool_0.25_GT works, but have few problems...

This is defaul configuration shows on overclocker...

...and this is show atitool (litle less voltage... 0,25V):

This is no problem. Problem is: i change into Atitool VGPU to 1.5V...

...and this is show overclocker:

GPU Voltage is 1.525 (this is litle dangerous but not much) and Memory+I/O voltage is only 1.8V... I change voltages on default and try it again... with no problem, but voltage set to 1.475, then it is 1.5V

nope I´m on original bios and atitool for GT:. works like a cham.. really nice... Im on 735/720 right now stable

 

[naineo]

Remember, Ati2evxx.exe must be killed (or disabled) when you use Atitool

 

[hot_fifty]

in Atitool it says R580LE.. HMm.. 735/720 is with 1,5 vgpu, load temp is 41 on gpu and 65 on voltage regulator

Eh, you have vater cooling... man
...i must have it

 

[tofu]

I'm sure that the R580LE core means the R580"XL" that I was theorizing earlier.

If my card was working, it'd probably say R580 plain.

 

[hot_fifty]

okay... 749/747 now stable 1,525vgpu still on water

 

[ixq]

geez i need water cooling. mines stable at 650/720 and topping 88degrees

 

[hot_fifty]

for 24/7 I run 702/720 in atitool for GT... 1,4 vgpu 1,996 for both ram settings.... temps dosent get over 42 on 1,4vgpu

 

[hot_fifty]

LOL ixq, you need h2o for those hot bastards

 

[tofu]

okay... 749/747 now stable 1,525vgpu still on water

Those are some nice clocks. If only you had 16 pipes...

 

[W1zzard]

the voltages atitool shows are different to what overclocker shows because overclocker is wrong

you can use a voltmeter and check yourself

 

[bartouze]

Remember, Ati2evxx.exe must be killed (or disabled) when you use Atitool

I hoped that would be the problem, but...

I have tried to kill Ati2evxx.exe before lauching atitool, still not working : find maxcore makes lines as soon as it starts, screen flickers ; and when I'm trying to up the core and mem settings it crashes as soon as I apply them

No idea what the problem is. If anyone has a clue

Of course I'm using the titool version posted here a few hours ago


[btw, never had to kill this ati process when I was using atitool for my 9700]

yae i know. was thinkin on buying that thermattake tidewater thingy.. im on a very low budget :S

what do you mean... Im not using overclocker, just atitool, nice release btw

 

[hot_fifty]

if I could cool my volt reg better, i could easily oc with 1,575 which is max in atitool, and maybe 800 on core

 

[laydback]

You're kidding right? Please tell me your using phase cooling...

[laydback]

Do you have CCC installed?
