SApphire 9800se advantage

[Shinyeagle]

Hi, i bought a Sapphire 9800se Advantage 128MB of hynix ram 3.3ns 128mbut, when i active the 8 pipelines i see many artifacts... could i do something? If I place some cooler on RAM it could be better or not depend of this? Thanks...

damaged pipelines --> unavoidable

SE was marketed as a 4 pipe 9800 as it was originally using R350 cores with broken pipes. you obviously have one of these. SE's are a lottery,some have full working cores some don't

[Shinyeagle]

yes is the 350...

with cooler you'll only get higher MHz ... but you can't do nothing about the pipes :p

So if I place some passive coole and a bigger fun i can reach higher frequency without artifacts disabling the 8 pipelines? What are the max frequency for a 9800se and the voltage? Thanks
