markiemrboo Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 My card has 2.2ns RAM on it, I think. I saw AF22 or something at the end of the chip model number type thing. I didn't write down the actual number, should have done really, but I found some Hynix spec sheet with AF22 and it's supposed to be capable of 900MHz, which is nice!! However, the nvidia driver overclocking tab is telling me there's an error at around 835MHz. Now, since it's apparently capable of 900MHz.. why do you think it's erroring on me? How reliable is that test? Is it perhaps just a temperature issue maybe? The RAM is cooled by the same thing cooling the core, it's just a giant copper slab basically The temp reads at around 62C while playing a games right now... bit pooey for such a large chunk of copper, but the fan on it is quiet so I guess that's why it aint doing really brilliantly. Any suggestions on how I could get 900MHz out this thing? I'm 99.9999% certain it's 2.2ns, definately Hynix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 mmm ramsinks, etc. etc. if ya feel like it go with a vmem mod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DECwakeboarder Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 The card probably doesn't give it enough volts would be my guess. That or it's your actually card holding you back and not the RAM modules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderChicken Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 i would try ramsinks and how the heck do u find out what ram you have on your video card? *i never really look at the ram* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Ah. Is there any way to like mod the BIOS to give it more volts or something? I think the spec sheet said it needs 2.7v. Well I left the core at stock 325 and just raised the mem to ~835 and it did the error, pretty sure it's the RAM RAM sinks..... the stock copper cooler covers the RAM aswell as the core, like I said EDIT: Clean off the paste and look at the numbers/letters written on the chips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone2sk Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 You will need to voltmod your ram, becuase they might be undervolting a little bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 or, alternatively, don't volt-mod your brand new card, oc it as far as it can go, stop crying about it, oc your cpu (wth are you playin at there markie) and then let her rip! oh yeah... possibly lap the cooler, the ram (yes, lap the ram), and apply as5... lapping the ram, ramsinks and using arctic alumina thermal epoxy netted me a massive mem oc... the ramsinks get REALLY warm too warm like a radiator warm...

markiemrboo Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 I was trying to find them max FSB mr nrg Like I said in another post it seems like I hit my wall at around 230. Now now If you knew you had RAM on your graphics card capable of 900MHz and it's only hitting 830, I bet YOU would be complaining and wanting to get that extra missing speed I'm not modding my card. I'm hesitant running it overclocked with the auto detected frequencies! It'd still be nice to have the missing 70MHz the RAM is capable of!!

Guest FxXP Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 1/2.2 = 454.5 *2 = 909 Mhz DDR. Its doable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Exactly, see Yet the nvidia overclocking test thing poops up around 835MHz. But.. maybe it is just a voltage thing Or maybe the test is just being crap and it'll actually work at 900MHz without artifacting (unlikely?!)

Guest FxXP Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Coolbits is effected by the BIOS of the video card. Try modding or flashing the BIOS with a generic Nvidia ROM and see if that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Ah! You mean that if it detects my card as a 6800nu it'll only allow up to a certain speed and then pop up an error after, even if it's actually fine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
