I don't have any problem with my GT yet........but temp. is rather high. 51C idle and 83-93C load. But other programs shows 10C lower temp. than what nvidia shows.
What ns is the memory? If it is Samsung K4D26323RA - GC2A or K4D263238E GC2A.......then you can take the risk of flash it to regular pro. Search forums before flashing as i'm not responsible if something goes wrong.
AS5 normally takes 200 hr to brake up particles. Also you need to heat it & cool it simultaneously. Once the particles are broken, temp. drops & then u'll be able to overclock more if previously overclocking was prevented for heat.
would you please send me the bios of ur card. I don't have the GIGABYTE X800 XT PE BIOS. Please if u do, i'll appriciate it. Thanks.

Don't buy if you have an ATI card. This mobo auto overclocks my all ATI cards (9000 PRO, 9700 PRO, 9800 PRO). Even If I fresh install XP, then directX & driver.........even then ati cards are by default running 15/20MHz higher than default......always.....
9800 PRO is fast enough....but you need 1GB memory for smooth game playing. 6800 GT is nice card & also faster than 9800P, but you still need 1GB ram for smooth playing. Even with X800XT PE or 6800U, you can't play farcry smoothly if you don't have 1GB ram, so whatever VPU you go for, be sure to...
I heard that some artifacts are shown in Far Cry with recent CATALYST Driver. Also heared that 9800 PRO's are dying coz far cry makes them work hard so temp. raises more............any one of these can happen to you............lets pray for the first..................also try installing CAT 04.4.
Far Cry run nicely even on 9600P but you really need 1GB ram. Even when 9800P providing me 60-80 fps, gameplay is choppy for ram only..........install 512mb more & all the choppiness gone.....
AS5 is the cause of death of my previous 9800P. It is conductive at high temp. Try to use Arctic Ceramique. It is non-conductive while providing performance between AS3 & AS5. Safety is preferrable.
This card is a 4x1 desing where GF4 Ti is 4x2 pipeline design. Maybe the game required texture unit higher than pixel flexibility...........not sure though..............but it happens sometimes.........prince of persia runs fine on my sig with R8500 but with Ti 4600............frame drop occurs...
If your card equipped with Samsung Memory i.e. K4D263238E - GC2A or K4D26323RA - GC2A, you can try flashing with the 9800 PRO BIOS. This BIOS raises the memory voltage of 9800 NP, helps to get 380MHz Memory like 9800P.
