X1950 / CCC temperature problem??

[Gregster6]

Would appreciate any thoughts / expert input on this.

Having successfully installed and used a new X1950 graphics card for about a week, today I had a look at the Overdrive feature in CCC.

I ran the automated clock configuration utility and gamed for around 30mins at the recommended levels. Upon re-entering the CCC I notice that the Current Temperature reading is now permanantly set to 20 degrees (2d / no games running) whereas pre-overdrive it was at around 53 degrees!

To test what was going on I ran a 3d game for about 1 min and quickly switched to CCC. The Current Temperature reading is sat at 20 degrees.

Any ideas what's going on here and what I should do about it?

Thanks

Reinstall ccc

Seems to have done the trick - thanks JAG - any idea why that happened? I thought for a moment that the card had overheated and fried the temperature sensor!

Cheers

Don't know what it is.

CCC plays up with me.

First time I ever tried overdrive it worked fine, now it crashes when it trys to overclock the memory, yet it works fine when I do it manually.

Just tempremental!

BTW what speeds did Overdrive set for you?

I can't tell you excactly because (1) I've gone back to defaults and (2) auto configuration locked-up with the progress bar at / a little over half way on the original attempt so my setting of overdrive levels was done manually at the next start.

Upon restarting I moved the GPU and RAM clock sliders to about 33% increase positions. Not terribly scientific / aggressive but I was only really tinkering and during the auto configure tests the fan / temp was fine with the the GPU at this level.

Interestingly up to the point of locking-up auto configure had only been boosting the GPU clock and hadn't started overdrive on the RAM clock.

had only been boosting the GPU clock and hadn't started overdrive on the RAM clock.

That does it with me on my 1900XTX

It's just CCC!

even does it with my wheezing x850xt.

Once managed to clock the card from 520/540 to 621/596 then reinstalled after an upgraded mobo and it locked while clocking the ram! Typical!

Just hard set it to 560/560 and it seems to run fine!

Thats exactly what happens when I run Overdrive. GPu's fine, then it switches to Ram and instant black screen.

I can manually clock it to 668/1017.

Achieve around 6900 in 3d Mark 06
