This could have something to do with the temperature sensor on the card giving higher then normal readings, but im not entirely sure. What were the temps before you flashed the BIOS ?

still high

40c+

I also flashed my 9800ro to XT and have an Arctic VGA Silencer. It idles about 45C. The highest it has reached was 65 while running Doom3 with everything at high. It turns out there was a fair bit of fluff in the grille at the fan end, so I cleaned it out and it stayed around 63 after that.

What's the air movement through your case like? I know the Arctic should push the heat from the card out of the case, but if the air in the case is warm to begin with...

system temp arond 40c due to gpu

Make sure you have intake and outtake fans. That way you have a constant flow of air through the case, it can dramatically effect temps. The intake should be at the front bottom and the outtake at the rear top of the case. If you can't do that try and running your PC with the side off and see what effect it has on the temps.

my artic silencer 9800Pro -> XT idles at 70' according to ati tool, 45' according to rivatuner....which to believe? it works, it works well and has been solid gaming for the 4 / 5 months i have it....it never craps out so it doesnt concern me!

How are you's checking the temp?
I cant see a temp reading anywhere have a sapphire 9800 pro (flashed to xt) 128mb. Does my card not have the temp diode then? Can mbm distplayit if it has one.
I'd like to know what temp it runs at with the arctic cooler on.

minimize ATi Tool and it says the temp in the system tray

jozi

No doesn't seem to show the temp, it show core and mem speed if i move the mouse over it but thats all.

airetam_storm

yeah could be ati tool at fault

What other programs are there to tell me the temps?

Jammer

rivatuner

get it on guru3d

As long as your not getting artifacts your fine. Don't worry about it. They can withstand high temps.

I no there ment too go ovrer 100c but i really dont like the high temps as oclocking is being reduced

StRiKeR

how is your airflow? if you airflow not great then your hot air wont get out as quick, making your temp goes higher!

airetam_storm

1 case fan 120mm

BloodBath

You really need to get another one. With 120mm fans you want at least 1 intake at the bottom and 1 exhaust at the top.


BloodBath

StRiKeR

just one fan thats not gonna do it? like bloodbath said, one fot intake one for exhaust be the least you gonna need!


no more messing around now Jay! lol... heh heh!

BloodBath
