-> Mod your 6800GS AGP to Ultra Extreme with coolermod! - Page 6

Deadman93723 · #**101** (**permalink**) 2nd July, 2006, 08:12 PM

Well, I tried the Xtreme-G 91.31 and they have made no difference, they didn't help, they didn't hurt. I guess I'm stuck at 415/1150. Unless I do a volt mod, which I am not willing to put my card at that kind of risk.

Have you tried backing off on the ram completely, to stock speed, then overclocking the core alone as high as you can, then after that overclocking the ram?

Also, what are your voltages like?

Nvidia cards like a little overvolt on the AGP voltage, and also a higher than spec +12V rail.

By overvolt do you mean the AGP voltage in the bios of the system, because mine is at 1.6v. My 12v rail runs at 11.92v(that's testing it with a volt meter), and 22amps.

I did a bios mod and I am stuck at 415 also. It wouldn't do close to that before. This is at 1.5V...

6800GS agp has the same NV40 board that the GT has and there are issues with the voltage regulators on them, they are not stable with anything over 1.3v.

That is what I have heard anyways.

dsio · #**106** (**permalink**) 3rd July, 2006, 12:56 AM

Well, I know people have pushed well past 1.65V without problems. Regulators are the AIB vendor's problem, not Nvidia's, so you could expect them to vary somewhat between brands.

Deadman93723 · #**107** (**permalink**) 3rd July, 2006, 01:54 PM

Ok, the big question is, if I set my voltage to 1.4v instead of 1.3v in the bios without doing an actual volt mod to the card, will I get any perfomance gains?

Most likely, yes.

Mine has been great at 1.5V

Hey, Samuknow, your not far from me. Anyways 1.5v huh, no problems? I might have to try it.

Deadman93723 · #**111** (**permalink**) 3rd July, 2006, 08:21 PM

I bumped the bios voltage to 1.4v and now I can hit 430/1150, that is more like it.

Hey you are not too far at all. Sweet another Hoosier. Well I'm a transplant.

I went to 1.4 first, let it set there for a bit and then went 1.5. Been great. Since my temps are fine, I will be bumping it up by .02 and watch it to see what happens.

I'm born and raised.

Yeah, I went to 1.4v yesterday, I'm going to watch things for awhile. If everything keeps rolling along well, then I might try 1.45v, see what that does.

It was a 91.31 i think. I think the driver not playing a big role in this situation. I think maybe Geeks sent me already hacked by someone (RMA replaced card) and returned to them, after while they sent to me hehe.

I'm trying to find bios from another same looking card , but no luck. (Palit have same card, but couldn't able to find bios) Maybe u guys have something. ?

is it possible to flash bios from 256 RAM? to 512, if possible what should be changed in the bios.?
I'm attached my orig bios. PLEASE HELP ME!!!.
Best Regards Bataka.M

mbataka · #**115** (**permalink**) 6th July, 2006, 12:53 AM

While searching on the Net i found identical looking card at http://www.icomp.pl/produkty.php?act...aficzne&id=195

As that web site informing This card have NV42 chip on board. So shall i try to reflash with the bios for NV 42? to make work my card normally?.

dsio · #**116** (**permalink**) 6th July, 2006, 01:18 AM

Don't just use an NV42 bios, that card is a very one off model, and will have issues with a standard bios. It needs a genuine bios designed for the card. RMA it and let them do it is the best way.

Yeah you maybe right. But www.geeks.com not answering me to email. :-(

Currently i'm a Mongolian, so they just ignoring me probably. I sent them e-mail 2 times and no answer. Puckers :-)

I'm attaching shot's of my CHIP,HSI bridge chip and Card. Any suggestions? Which chip is it?

dsio · #**118** (**permalink**) 6th July, 2006, 06:42 AM

So this is a 512MB card? If its a 512MB card, its an NV42 with a bridge, though there is a very low possibility that its a freak NV41. Either way, it needs its stock bios, no two ways about it. Do you know for sure what the brand of the card is?

I had to reflash the bios to 1.3v, 1.4v is unstable on NV40 boards, at least mine anyway.

Standard 6800 Ultras ship at 1.4V from the factory. I think your issue could be power feed / PSU.
