Just the motherboard. Well get this. Everything works now. Dunno why or how. Restarted it from before and everythings been working. So I guess my motherboard decided to love me today. Thanks for all the input guys. =)

Nope. It isnt the external one. And Its a 350watt which prolly isnt the greatest. But i dont think its power as I've tried unplugging all the peripherals and memory to help out. As of right now I'm running on the ati card alone. I booted it up with the voodoo5 in. And magically the radeon...

Its an ATI Radeon. And my mobo is a soyo p4s dragon ultra. The whacky thing is. If I run it with 2 video cards. Sometimes the radeon starts working and will go into windows flawlessly. But then when I turn off the computer and restart, it wont work. And wont work with 1 video card. Thing...

No 3pin connector. And yes the fan does work. I know the card is ok because I tried it on another computer and it worked fine. And also if I let the computer post with the voodoo5, then plug the 9600 into the agp slot. It detects the hardware and such. Just cant get it to boot up and post...

Well I got my 9600 Pro awhile back. Right now im using a pos old crap agp out of a spare computer, and before this I was using a shitty voodoo5 pci. So anyway I go to plug it into the agp slot, boot the PC. And no video ever. But as soon as I plug this vid card in. Works right away. I really...

BTW Current card is a ATI 3d Rage Pro 2x.. so hot.. lol Help me :(

No I didnt reformat. I honestly dont remember how high it was.

So is there anything I can do really to check?

HRM.. ic.. Well this sucks lol. Took me like 5 hours to even get this thing installed in the first place. Now I gotta do it again and hope that the card isnt fubar.

If it was shorted wouldnt the fans on the card not work?

A short could be possible. I have tried cmos already. Today I dont have work so I'm gonna spend a good while tinkering with it to see if I can get it to work. I honestly think the card is fine. I just think its part of how it was before about being hard to install the card. Because I...

It didnt load 3d mark. The computer immediatly locked up and the monitor went black. So it never actually went under load. As far as the card goes it shows no signs or scent of it being burnt. I was having trouble before installing the card with getting the video card to show video prior to...

Ok well this morning I installed a OC program for the 9600 some radeon tweak. Anyway I upped it to what some people had said was stable and went to open 3dmark it froze. So I restarted and had no video. So I pulled the card and threw my old ATI rage 2mb card in and started up. Super...

Well I got my 9600 pro in and im ready to up it a lil bit. ;) Whats a good program to OC these cards? What are most people running them at with stock cooling? I'll be ordering my iceberg tomorrow though. :D

I FINALLY got it.. YAY!

GRR I cant figure it out. I only get video when the voodoo5 is in. I need to work this out! :( Is there anything I can do to totally reset the bios? I even tried formatting and a new HD and nothing is working. My mobo is a soyo p4s dragon ultra.

Well my new 9600 pro came in today. And I cant seem to get the old voodoo5 shit uninstalled. With the 9600 in I get no video. I only get video if the v5 is the only card installed. Its driving me crazy!! Someone help me! :(

I guess that means I have the dragon ultra then. Bah. So that cancels out having the wrong bios being my weird temp problem. :(

I'm thinking of getting the iceberg for mine. :)

I searched on the board because I dont know where the chips your referring to are. But I saw one labeled 961.

:confused:

Ok well. I have a soyo p4s dragon ultra system. I used the bios from the p4s dragon ultra on my system and it seems that my computer temp sensors are screwy. On the motherboard monitor site it gives the sensors and what they are for. The ones for the p4s dragon ultra board arent the sensors...

Can you guys recommend what external probes to use? And how would you place them for say cpu temp?

Whatelse confuses me is how sometimes the cpu temp drops below the case fan temp randomly.

Its getting water soon. Might go ahead and put a block on the chipset as well.

well according to it my chip is at 74deg, cpu is a 45, and case at 28.

its an p4s dragon ultra (thats the model). Where does it say which sensor is for what on the mbm site?

bump? :confused:

Good write up. Might do this myself. ;)

My mobo is a Soyo p4s dragon ultra. And my temps are a little screwey. Temp 1 on speed fan is about 74deg C, Temp 2 27deg C, Temp3 31deg C, and "Temp" is 14deg C. Weird. And mbm5 also concludes the same results. Are my sensors screwed? To the touch the HSF on my proc is cool, not even...

I was messing around with a cardboard box a few mins ago trying to mount a fan/radiator on it. It was a mess. I need a new idea. :P

How are you holding the radiator to the box? I dig the setup. And young Wc'ers rock. I was 13 when I did my first setup as well. =)

Well my original idea was as little fans/noise as possible. I didnt however know that it ran cool in stock form. I'm just looking to max it out and figured I'd go ahead and throw water on it. How high have people got it on air cooling? Also what are some good HSF's for the 9600 pro?

ya know. I've been thinking about the external idea for a few hours. And its growing on me. I'm gonna go look for supplies today. :cool:

Im planning to go internal setup. ( I dont like having 2 boxes heh.) But thats a good idea. Be sure and snap some pics of your setup. :)

Now I know this has been done. But ways I've seen are really ghetto. I'm sure some of you guys have some good ideas, so whats a nice inexpensive diy fan shroud idea that is visually appealing?

Both those will fit right up? :D

yeah. me too.. You have a question.. Then figure it out on your own. Then feel retarded. :P And all you can do is modify **EDIT** All you have to do is PM the moderator or an Admin and the thread will be locked or deleted ASAP :cool:
