    x850 xt problems!

    *there is a spacer around the GPU core... it may be keeping your heatsink from making good contact. -- I can see a clear gap when looking under the heatsink so I don't think this could be the problem. *you could have a bad temp sensor, but I doubt this. You can try measuring with a...

    x850 xt problems!

    I replaced my x850xt with a x1900gt and it works fine. Still would like to figure out whats wrong with my x850xt though for a second rig.

    x850 xt problems!

    I plan on getting a new heatsink for my new card(should have it thursday) but the stock cooler, like pwmk2 said' never went much above 60c with the stock cooler (I did hit 70c a few times while playing hl2 for 6 hours). Running atitool and scanning for defects works for about 15 minutes...

    x850 xt problems!

    Thing is it never gave me a problem. Just all of a sudden started getting this hot and locking up (even at 100% fan speed). Anyway I got a nice new x1900gt to replace it but would love to build a second rig with this card(once amd cuts prices again) if I could get it working again.

    PC Freezes While Playing Games

    Sure sounds like something is overheating. Check the temp of the processor / vide card / and chipset. as I only use ati I have no idea what temp your card should run at but 107 seems low for any modern card( thats around 41c). I'd download either tools from bfg or from nvidia as I don't think...

    Recommend Video Card Upgrade

    the gto is below the xt and the xl is between the two. If you want the x1900 core then go with the x1900gt. It's about $300 and in the end will provide nearly the same gamming experience as the x1900xt given your current processor.

    Recommend Video Card Upgrade

    The x1900xt really needs a faster cpu. I'd suggest buying a slighly slower card(x1800 line comes to mind if you still need the latest features) or save up and get a 4000+ or even and x2 4200 to pair with the x1900xt.

    Best cooler for the X1800XT?

    Try the MASSCOOL/SYTRIN KuFormula VF1-PLUS. I have a few friends that use this on the x1800gto and it works great! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835150072 review http://www.xtremecomputing.co.uk/review.php?id=274

    x850 xt problems!

    My ati x850 XT has started acting odd. When running a 3d game the core temps will shoot all the way to ~110c and then locks the system. I have tried cleaning the card and applying new thermal grease (this helped a little as now it only hits ~98c). This card from day one has run hot (as in the...
