sli 7800 GTX Running too cool
- Thread starter mcmad
- Start date
Still not fixed the throttling? Mr Stocky was trying to get around that with 6800Ultras and apparently OPP at xtremesystems is working with NVidia to fix it? Theres also a thread at guru3d under the Rivatner forum about it, there might be some new info there. Sorry I cant help more specifically, thats what I`ve dug up from my scouting to find a fix.

Nobady ever has a perfect release nowadays.
Games have done it for years, motherboards are out there too still with bugs in em, 6800's had a temp bug in them for ages where the temps were too high.
I am FUBAR to with this but go figure this one out:
One card's running 50degrees or so, the other 32 degrees - the cold bug hits me good an proper on one card and I get thermal issues on the other.
So a pair of the best cards out there - identical manufacture purchased at the exact same time - one throttles coz its too cold - the other is too bloody hot, but that could be driver related trying to fix the cold bug in the other one.
WE NEED NEW BIOS NOW GOD DAMMIT NOW!!!
(said like the Seargent R Powell in Die Hard for full effect!!!)

I already tried all that mate.
I am gonna back-up the BIOS which shows higher temps and then flash it onto the cool card - this will at least enable me to slap the biatch's and get some decent performance from them.
PM me if you would like a copy of this BIOS to enable youto do the same - only good if you have a water cooling set-up.
Its should be enough to keep us going until the powers that be get their thumbs out of a very dark place and do somehting themselves.

Dazboots,
Mate thanks for the informations my friend.
I did not get chance to use it though, what I did (before seeing this) was back-up my BIOS and using NiBITOR 2.2a I unchecked the box 6600GT temp trick - now it does not cold throttle at all and I am very happy.
Mind you I dont think the temp readings are that accurate either??
You can't have everything LOL.
