Hmm... interesting Anyways, I hear people have been bringing the temps on their gtos down by changing the bios. flash the card to use the bfg 6800GT OC bios. Then, try upping the voltage a bit so the fan has a bit more power...

Patriot Memory?

check out www.zipzoomfly.com They offer 700MHZ DDR2 Patriot memory... Its pricy but for $484, you can get 1GB of the fastest memory around. Ofcourse, if I was such a geek, i'd just wait until PC 6000 DDR2 comes out which is clocked at 800MHZ.

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

Isn't the bog 6800 a 12/5 setup and not 8/5 setup? If its 8/5 setup, then isn't the 5950 Ultra a better card because its clocked higher?

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

Because it's dell... so sad... Considering the card only has a 1 slot cooling solution, having a double bracket card is just to annoy you... the $1.99 is niec but paying $8 in shipping is kind of high not to mention taxes aswell... I hear you can just email arctic cooling.

Rikadik, have you tried the NV Silencer 5 out? I tried calling a few places but they dont have the replacement bracket. Im hoping that when I get the NV5, I'll be able to run the GTO @ 400/1.1.

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

Nope but I guarantee you if its done, the 3DMark05 score will probably be somewhere near 20,000 w/o overclocking (For 2 cards). I mean this card has 512MB of DDR3 running at the same speeds of the 6800 ultra and has the same memory bandwith. It also is SLI capable so if you run 2 of them, you'll...

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

We know... If you buy this card from Dell, you are pretty much assured to have a fully working 6800 ultra provided you have RivaTuner 15.3 as Dell hasn't crippled their cards. They just used software to lock the pipelines however, w/ NVStrapDriver v 1.7 (included with RT 15.3) you can perform...

Well, you can either do one of three things. You can use the nVidia software that comes with the drivers, you can check your motherboard or you can use riva tuner to monitor the temperature. The nVidia software uses the onboard temperature sensor on the card to determine the Ambient (case)...

The faster Ultra DDR 500MHZ ram works amazingly well since its low latency but I managed to get the ram to work @533mHZ and the FSB @ 1066 MHZ so it all works great. I found the 6800 Ultras for an amazing price at Dell waaaaay back for $300 EACH but now they are selling lowest at www.buyxg.com...

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

Hmm... yea it does sound tricky. I don't think Dell wants you to purchase someone else's products so they probably won't give us the bracket. I guess to solve that problem you could contact another manufacturer. For example, some companies make double slot GT cards and they might be able to...

First of all, Happy New Year Second: Rikadik, I think I have found a problem with the NV Silencer 5. ALthough its designed to work with any 6800 series card, its efficiency is reduced when dealing with double slot cards. The NV5 Silencer has an exhaust at the back of the case where all the...

You won't even have a problem overclocking the GTO to Ultra levels provided you get the NV Silencer 5 cooling unit from Arctic Cooling. Dell Tech support has competent people that speak English. They have 2 call centres, one in India and one in Ireland. I think Dell is pretty good for most...

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

The 6800 GTO is not a bad card and you can still unmask the extra pipelines. You just need rivatuner 15.3 and with some core clock and memory speed mods, you could be performing at 6800 Ultra levels. Im purchasing parts for my new custom build high performance rig.

nvidia GeForce 6800 GTO

The 6800 GTO is surprisingly good. For the price I got it at, I'm quite impressed. I have been able to unlock the extra units (just get RivaTuner 15.3 not 15.2) and have pushed my card to ultra clock levels. So far, I have not seen a tremendous increase in temperature. In fact at Idle, I'm...

Temps making me slightly nervous, so I'll probably be fairly conservative with actual usage. Temps are 56ish idle with load going up to around 85c and higher. Wondering if I should swap out the stock cooling with something else. Anyone had much success with that for a GTO? The NV Silencer 5...

Ok, I asked dell about the unusually high core temperatures. They said that the card is supposed to run at 35 degrees.... If that's the case then they really need to check their cooling and check the size of the Dimension 8400 case. Anyways, they said they would send me a replacement 6800 gto...
