Be careful, I fried two 9800's by using a bad psu. Stop using the card immediately until you get a better namebrand psu with at least 350-400 watts.

Nvidia 6600gt Fast card, best value. Refurbished for 130$, Retail for 150$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=Go&DEPA=0&type=&description=6600gt&Category=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 Radeon 9800pro Slower then the 6600gt with less features, still good though...

Just installed it this morning. Im pretty relieved that there weren't any power problems or artifacting(the card is refurbished but i don't think its been used). Oc'ed it to 579/1060 and overclocked my 2500+ to a 3000+. All of the games i tested on played quite smoothly at max settings+af/aa but...

Sparkle 350 watt 16amps@12v athlon xp 2500+ 1 dvd-r drive 4 fans: 3 in the case, one on the cpu 1 40 gig hd +6600gt So, in short:Will my cpu be stable, and should i expect any problems?

I just recieved the psu. Well, my 2500+ barton was running stable without the underclocking, but my 9800 wasn't so lucky. :( Time to get it rma'ed. -sigh.... It seems that my cpu can only take 2 more explorer windows before it crashes. :dah: -Im deciding if i should flash the bios to the...

I have a 3 fans including the fan on my current psu.

More problems :mad:. It seems when i switched the fsb to 166, it made my computer unstable and then after a while windows won't boot anymore. Oh btw, im buying a 350 watt sparkle psu, is that enough? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-103-484&depa=0

Thanks, it worked. :good:

I touched the heatsink; other then me accidently touching the fan i didn't feel any pain. Btw, my mobo displays my 2500+ as a 1900+. When i try to change the fsb from 133 to 166, it gives me a bsod when i load windows.

I forgot to mention i already killed a 9800 just two weeks ago and i rma'ed the card. Im getting a sick feeling of deja vu. :(

I don't think heat is the issue, i touched the heatsink and it was quite mild. I got a household fan and blew air into the case but the artifacts are still there. Anyway, i just want to know if the 9800 might of died.

I recently bought a powercolor radeon 9800 pro off of newegg. It shipped to my front door just yesterday afternoon. As soon as i installed it and fired up my benchmarking software it gave me nasty artifacts when i was running the tests. The artifacts seem to appear as random pink and green dots...
