X850 to X850XT

[Mir96TA]

I really do not want speed up the clock speeds, because it will create lot of heat.
I just wants to open up a hidden Piple lines
I have build by ATi XT850 Pro VIVO
Thanks
BTW I looked Here SOme how they want to speed up the Clock Speed too Which I do not want that
Thanks Mir

If you want to unlock the pipes but not increase the clocks, then you can use a bios editing application, like Rabit, to lower the clocks on a x850xt bios, and then flash the edited bios to your card. But keep in mind that enabling those pipes will also increase the heat output of the card.

O I didn't just opening Pipe Line can create more Heat
I wonder how much will stock Cooling is good enogh ?
Cause I can't find Artic 5 ATi for X850 Pro

Of course it will generate more heat, because you will have more active transistors with more pipes enabled. However, don't automatically assume you will have heat problems. If your x850pro has the same dual slot cooler as the x850xt, then you should have no problems cooling the card at xt speeds. Also, I used to have a x800gto, with a single slot cooler, and it had no problems cooling the card after I flashed it to x800xt.

BTW, the Arctic 5 is for all x850 cards, the pro and the xt. I hope you weren't looking just for the pro version.

 

[Mir96TA]

Well this is the Card I have.
I am looking for this ATi Silencer 5 Rev 2
If I am looking for for wrong one
please advise me

 

[Munky]

That's the single slot cooler, so you need to measure the load temps you're getting now with 12 pipes. If your gpu load temps are 75C or higher then I would recommend getting a new cooler before you unlock or OC the card. The Silencer 5 you linked will fit your card, and will easily cool a x850xt.

But I though that all X850PRO were using the same dual slot from the X850XT, after all, both runs at the same core speed, is not like the X800PRO or X800XT which the core speed was different and were using the same single slot solution. The X850XT runs at 520MHz, and my old X800XT PE ran also at the same core speed with the same single slot solution and never had any overheat problems. And the X850PRO/XT series has an updated ASIC which are more friendly to overclocking and heat output. Just make sure that your chip core doesn't exceed the 75-80C threshold. That single slot solution after years of use the dust bunnies tends to clog the vents and will make the GPU core temp raise. I took off that cooling system, disassembled completely, cleaned it up, also I cleaned up the old thermal paste and put some AS5 and the GPU temp went from 78C to 74C, not bad.

I noticed it was staying at 35c
After flashing it went 70 c:Q
I notice Fan is not even turning Was able to turn on (100%) VIA
ATi tool at full brought it down to 55
THen did some reach found another Bios update which allow variable speed with
16 pipelines.
Upgrade to that one. Now Temp stays 50 or 51 with full load
Stock Core and memory speed with single stock cooler
BTW It is quiter

Where did you get that BIOS ?

I had the same problem when I flashed
a X800GTO to X850 XT .. I worked around it with an external fan connector..

P.S.

My modded XT800GTO will do 600/600 ...

I can Email you that Bios with 600/600 clock speed

My X800GTO2 works just fine with 16 pipes and running at higher clock speeds, using teh stock cooler. However I use ATI Tool to run it at lower speeds while in windows, and then ramp up to X850XT speeds while gaming. You may be OK with the stock cooler.

I see you took my advice on buying X850 Pro for 75.00 right?

I got your PM. But your profle say you do not want to recive PM
So here is my answer

========
What I have 850 Pro Bios with 16 Pipe Enable
I can set the clock for 520 Core 540 Memory
Let me where to Email !

Actually it cost me $105; and I took your Advice
I liked it 850 Pro over XT cause it run lower Clock speed so it wont get hot
which euals to lower exhaust Fan speed (Thermal Speed control Fan) dell thing.
It is Lot faster then 9800 Pro!
Thanks it was good advice

are you using stock fan after you flash it?

That is not bad I am little behind you even though I am still use stock card

you forgot to answer my other question

If you asking about Cooler
Yes I am, However
I looking for Artic Cooler ATi5 or may be Bad Card 850 XTPE and take the FAN and Heat Sink Out ???
Wat u think ?

 

[Rottie]

if it is the only Artic Cooler on the market then it is worth to try it out I don't know any Videocard cooler out there.
