Never got the bios sorted out but am replacing it with a new card anyhows. Cheers

gotta be a quad for a start :)

Is it a cpu game or gpu game?

Its rather old :D I was on google reading up about bios files and Nibitor and i stumbled on this GTX260 patch and it lead me to here, should have just come here in the first place! Well if anyone wanna help a brother in need :D Could someone message 555BUK for me. He has setup msn and i cant...

Can you re-upload the bios file cause am getting a 404 error on the link. Does this bios tweak add a new voltage to the 2d clock ? Cheers

I thought OEM was based only on either version where retail edition has both 32&64bit on the disk and the key you get with that will activate both copies?

Instead of wasting money on (air) why dont you take it to your local garage and use the airline to blow it out, far more pressure and its free If you dont want to look like a total nob while doing it, put it in the boot of the car so it looks like your just blowing up your spare wheel :)...

What causes these bottlenecks ? at what point does the card bottleneck the cpu or gpu bottleneck the cpu :) would my q6600 be holding back gtx260?. I got 3 good years out of it so far but am in the same boat, am looking for more ghz I am really thinking about changing q6600 for an i3 if...

Nice read thanks! can i also add to this that by using 2x 4pin atx rather than 1x 4pin that the temps become far lower and are not too progressive in reaching max load. I can undervolt the pance of the Q6600 and it runs at 3ghz very well which seems to be the sweet spot for my quad, not on paper...

Nah :( same old temps burning away on that version aswell hehe :) good question

I will give that a go :D i use HWMonitor, should i stick with that or use GPUZ Cheers ahh :(

Yup :eek: I am using the beta ones 196.34

Could it be possible for a bios to screw up? the idle volts of my card have increased to new number? 1.05 1.06 & 1.12 are the volts in Nibitor, could it be running off 1.12 all the time even when its idling at 300mhz when clocked down. I havnt changed any of these volts or done any kind of...

ahh yeah man, it is well cleaned :) i just did it with MX2 paste aswel, i had the arctic on it before, but no better or worse

HI guys I have the Gainward GTX260 Golden Sample and just last week in a blink of an eye, the temps increased by 10c + It would idle at 35, 37c at default 40% fan duty and now its idling beyond 45c and the gain in temps from idle to max happens quicker and the max temp is a bit higher ...

Got it fixed, just took a few reboots

Hi all, just an update to the thread for the sake of anyone else. I got a new male > male vga cable and it seems that the wavy lines was indeed caused by the cheap vga lead which is good news :) But now i have another problem hehe. When i installed new lead, booted up pc and then the screen...

Well based on socket, i vote socket 775, If your Quad or duel breaks down all ye have to do is go buy a P4 3Ghz socket 775 for £17 on ebay hehe , and that will be a nice temp backup until you get all your nuggets saved up to go buy a newer model. I vote Socket 775 not for best performer, but...

:eek: i hope it is not the screen, its only a few months old. I shall buy a new vga lead, this one is very long looking ,maybe i get a shorter cable it will make this niggle go away. Cant buy a screen atm but that is worth a try with the cable first. Thanks Alex

This is good news in some way that if yours is working fine on 500W then it must not be my psu :DI was going to buy that very same one, only i got worried when i seen 600w or 650w min for teh 260, I should really stop reading those reviews :p I have an old 500w OCZ here too, its the older...
