Truely one of the worst series of video cards ever created. annoy:

Would take those things to be nitrogen cooled and have their clock speeds doubled to be anywhere approaching decent. biggrin:

Btw, are those blocks of staples masquerading as ram sinks? eek:

ErichHartmann · 07-29-2006, 01:52 PM

Yeah they are. I couldn't find copper ones like this once guy at oc forums has em. Although they did quite well the oc on that card got me I think 1000 more points on 3dmark 03. But Its still not bad as an mx4000 now those things are bad!

ninty · 07-29-2006, 05:17 PM

i had an mx series card and a fx series card and they both sucked. now i'm at an x800pro and will be oc it when my Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer VGA cooler gets here.

Is your pro the vivo version? vivo versions have the little yellow tab beneath the molex connector in this pic.

this part?

No, it doesn't unfortunatley. Would be nice to be able to flash the bios and have an easy fix to an xt, but I was stupid.

Shitty decision on my part because i ahve an agp card and now thats pretty much obsolete. I should ahve pitched the extra $ for an xt at the time, or if i had known, a vivo so i could fix it to be an xt.

Looks like oc is the only way to go for me. I was using ati tool to oc it with the stock fan on the chipset but temps were super high. 90-95C, so i'm hoping the vga coler will bring that down so i can get a good oc on it. i'm also going to do my 3500+. i got the ac freezer pro and that thing works great. when it was colder out i was getting 45C with load. right now unfortunatley i'm idle at around 40C because its so hot in my room because its 30C outside and we have no air conditioning. so i might have to wait or just make sure when i oc i don't get into to high temps.

but before i replaced the stock heatsink and fan i was in the 60's on the 3500+. amazing what replacing the stock one can do.
