stowenrat Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I can run at 230x10 but if I try to get more my graphics break up. It will save to cmos and reboot but the picture is totally screwed. I have fast write disabled, agp speed at 8x, cpu disconnect disabled, agp frequency at 66 and 1.5 volts. Any ideas what is happening?

ElixXx Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 i read that in some cases set agp to 67 or 68 just to know its locked.. try that , then report back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcicle Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Some Saphire (sp) 9800 Pro's have this problem. It's the nature of the beast. When you get the screen with artifacts..... if you power down and power right back up.... does it come back up clean? Which vendor has their logo on your9800? You need a very strong 12V line and the molex used for the 9800 Pro should not be a shared line. Set your AGP voltage at 1.8V in BIOS and see if that doesn't help. Try AGP speed at AUTO and SideBand Addressing at AUTO. AGP freq may need something like 68 but I wouldn't go any higher than that. Pops.

stowenrat Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 @Popsicle, thanks - I have tried it but still no luck. It is a Hercules btw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizzard Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 hgmmzz this is strange. Looks to me that your card isn't getting enough juice. Maybe use another molex line. Did you plugin that extra little powercord to your mainboard? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stowenrat Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 I am using a seperate molex-not shared. Yes it is plugged in. my 12volt rail is low. It isn't with other mobos'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emil Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 my 12volt rail is low ....... how low? does it stay within 5% of rated or not lower than 11.40 volts at full load? Remember that just between your VC and CPU it will consume over 200 watts of what your PSU can provide. You say, the 12v rail is NOT low if used in other MBs. Were you able to overclock higher than fsb 230 in the other mbs? The higher the overclock the greater the power requirements. With apologies to A_G & Rgone, may I refer you to this link.

stowenrat Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 It is going to 11.1v loooks like it is the culprit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
