I have an asus x800 xtpe that I bought while it was on offer from the store.
I have experienced an occasional issue with the display corrupting usually whilst in mixed mode. (3d window on desktop 2d {not full screen 3d}) I thought that the issue was power related because I often got the “beep beep plug in the aux power stupid” warning.
So I replaced the ~550W psu with a 700W+ unit so I know that power is no longer an issue, also I have not seen the beep beep at start up error since.
The gpu is the AGP verity, and is not oced, inital testing showed that ocing was not going to be an option using ati-tool set the max oc to 530 core and 565 mem, very tame settings, and got a corrupt display when ether of the find max clock buttons was pressed.
However it has recently (with the warmer weather?) become a problem once more, mainly when playing civ4 in a window (resolution of 1152*164/ desktop @ / > 1440*1050x2 @85/100/120hz)
i am more likly to leave civ4 runing than F.E.A.R, for instance, for prelonged periods but played HL2 for 2 hours with out ishue just recently.
Scan for artefacts has passed each time test done @ stock since new psu but gpu temp races to 70˚C in about 3 seconds and then rises to 80 after about 30 minutes. I would rather not increase my fan speeds or change the cooling unless absolutely necessary.
The clearance is limited as I require to position my raid adapter in slot 2 (66/64bit) this leaves only one free slot for air.
The case has a 90 mm2 fan on the side that directs air over the raid and gpu processors also there is a 120mm fan just above these.
Cpus 2x XP2500+ @ 2100mhz withy L5 MP modification <50˚C each at load
North-bridge 760 MPX
i would rather not have to replace the cooling.
--> edit: thanks benjo i forgot about the drivers
. ^^
drivers are Omega 3.8.231 i think that makes them cat 6.2 or 6.3 bassed the install file was "rad_w2kxp_omega_38231_7z.exe" i dont like CCC
