QUOTE(zamanjaafar @ Jan 11 2008, 01:16 AM) u guys with the gigabyte 8800gt turboforce...did u guys modify the fan speed or just leave it as it is? I left the setting as it is. Anyway I have tried adjusting the fan speed, seems like no difference (no increasing fan sound, if you get what i mean)Is it true the zalman fan is set to 100% speed constantly?  |

QUOTE(ben_panced @ Mar 4 2008, 02:40 PM) it's ok la, not too noisy tho not too quiet either because i think that the fan speed is about 2500rpm Hows your GC doing so far? Mine having major issues, driver restarts and nvlddmkm errors. Really regret getting this GC. Now in RMA process.  |

QUOTE(TomatomanzSeedlezz @ Mar 7 2008, 04:01 AM) That wierd, i have Gigabyte 8800GT TurboForce Edition also, but my reading its 700core/1715shader/1840mem. Mine comes with 700/1700/1900. This card has been giving me lots of headaches. Keeps crashing while playing games and benchmarking with 3dmark06. I suspect as what zamanjaafar said, the qimondas ram chips. Already send mine for RMA.And another thing i noticed that different reviewsites of the card has different readings too... http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1233&pageID=4468 I guess this the only reviewsite that same reading as mine.. http://www.techtree.com/India/Reviews/Giga...-86324-537.html 700/1500/1800 http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/gigabyte_8800gt/ 700/1840 http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view....2435&cid=3&pg=2 700/1900 Wierd huh?...  , how abt the rest of u Turboforce Edition owners?..Cheers This post has been edited by mikelee: Mar 7 2008, 10:16 AM |

QUOTE(ben_panced @ Mar 7 2008, 11:01 AM) ur gigabyte 8800gt is the one that uses vf-700alcu rite?? Yes mine comes with VF-700ALCU with qimonda ram chips. I have tried downclocking the ram clock speed but still doesn't help. Frustrated therefore I have send it for RMA.my 8800gt turboforce with vf-830alcu dont use qimonda ram chips... instead samsung gddr3 is used instead.. but yeah the problem is caused by the qimonda chips.. i read in other forums that other ppl are having the same prob as urs... and tro remedy it, they have to downclock the ram clockspeed..  |

QUOTE(ben_panced @ Apr 1 2008, 02:45 PM) but the old problem which is the ram chips on the gc keep crapping out remains.. I have the same situation as yours. Mine was RMA once at Sri Comp. The unit was apparently send to Taiwan and came back to me with the same unit. Sri Comp told me it is fixed. Went back and check, still crashed after running 3dmark for 5 mins. Therefore I tried to down clocked the memory clock down to 600mhz. Voila, no more crashing at 3dmark. Run it for 1 hour, no problems. Played all other games, seems to be okie for now. tho im using the newer gigabyte 8800gt with zalman vf-830 hsf, i have the same prob.. rite now my mem is not stable at all @ the stock 920mhz.. i dont know how this can happen tho my 8800gt uses samsung gddr3 chips compared to older gigabyte 8800gt with vf-700 hsf which uses qimonda  btw... i decided to buy ecs 8800gt with artic cooling s1 from bata and then rma my gaygaybyte 8800gt and then sell it in garage sale  So an advice to everyone who wants to get 8800GT, avoid Qimonda chipset or Gigabyte GCs. |
