2900XT Questions.

[Rackerz]

I just got this card today and I've got a few questions. The card is running at around 64c idle. Sometimes it can get to around 75c on load. Is this normal?

Also what is a good program to monitor the temperature, Rivatuner is a little annoying considering I need the program open to monitor the temperature. Also, the card is almost silent, the fan doesn't seem to be noisy at all so I was wondering if there was an application I could use to turn it up a notch.

Thanks

Thanks, also another thing I've got a problem with. The card is crashing, at least 3 times to day. The screen just locks up and reboots, what could be the problem?

ATi Tool crashes the card mostly, is this because of bad compatibility with the R600?

I've actually got a NeoHE550W. No longer using the 430W. Could it still be the PSU?

I've had a quick chat with Tom and it seems that my PSU isn't playing nice. I'd like to overclock abit, not too much and run the 2900XT.

Just for information we decided to downclock my E6600 to default speeds/voltage and Ati tool has been finding max clock for about 20 minutes now. Longer than the 15 seconds I got previously. The CPU clock was the only thing I changed. What do you guys recommend?

 

[Rackerz]

It's brand new, strange isn't it. How can I check the voltage vails?

Thanks

 

[Rackerz]

Ok thanks, I'll go check.

My 3DMark 06 score is 9824. Isn't that a tad low?

 

[Rackerz]

ATI Tool seems to be working ok now. I've just got strange results from 3DMark 06.

Is 9824 a low score for my current system specs (sig)?

 

[Rackerz]

Yeah it's at stock. I also just tried clocking with ATI Tool and the screen locked up. No reboot, it just locked up. Is that the PSU causing it? I've put in a returns request so I can purchase a new PSU, would a Corsair 520W do the job?

. I've just been into the BIOS and it reports these:

+5V 4.99V
+12V 13.01V

Are they good/bad?
