Did I damage my card with overclocking?


Recommended Posts

Yellow lines are appearing on my screen after a while if the color don't changes.

I just buyed a new videocard a week ago, and... and... :cry:

I hope this isn't the case, but what is it then? Could it be my monitor... I guess no, because, I have copied an image with the problem, and the lines are in the same spots:

I built a computer recently, in the last month or so, that had a video card doing that. I RMA'd it. I suggest you do the same, while you can. :yes:

you voided the warranty by overclocking it, suck it up and buy a new card. I overclock too, but if I damage something, I'll buy a new one (even though I'm flat broke). RMAing everything you break by your own actions is horrible. The companies you return the crap to have to pay for the stuff themselves, and it deals huge financial blows to them. Most computer stores just make enough to get by, and with all thesee people RMAing everything and then have the companies say "this has been overclocked, we're not responsible" is devastating.

So you guys think that it cannot be because of the overclocking?

Are you really sure?

I had overclocked everything that I could to the cutting edge everytime on a PC, but this thing just scares me...

Maybe I should downgrade the MHZs from now on. :rolleyes:

F*ck, I never thought this could happen.

I'm making an official anti-overclock clan now. Anyone wants to join?

The sad thing is that I can't buy a new card for a while, because I'm still a student... :cry:

BTW:How could they know that it was overclocked?

If you changed the firmware they will know....

If you didn't then just set it back to default (although proberbly don't need to because the soft overclocking is managed by drivers or software....) then just send it back! Just that simple :p well thats if its in warranty!

I just soft overclocked it.

But I don't think that I could send it back, because I don't have any waranty.

The only solution would be is to go back to the store I buyed it, and say:

"Hey guys, I don't have even a check, but would you be so nice, and replace this card for a new one...

maybe for a better one, if you don't have this card on stock... for free... just for me... pleeeeeeease..."

You can guess the end of the story.

(Ohh sure, why not? Here you are... - giving the 9200 Pro card away, and going home with an 9800 Pro :D )

all ati cards are supposed to have 3 year warranties. you're supposed to register on their site or something with your product ids and stuff. not really sure how that works though. but how can you not have any papers to prove it? no receipt?

yep.

I thought I could go a little cheaper in this type of store... you know... kinda underground feeling kinda store.

Well it was cheap though...

They also buy used cards... I guess I'm going to sell this to them. :devil:

When I have enough many to buy a new one. :pinch:

Don't talk sh*t! The companies make a mint... they dont "just get by". RMA it mate... exploit as much as possble! :-D The companies want consumer loyalty so they shud do it.

Ignore what that fool posted. They don't know you overclocked it. Just call in from where you bought it and request an RMA, the one that you can get a nother one not refund. Or if you bought it locally, then contact the manufacturer for the rma. Don't tell them you overclocked it, just say it began not to work properly... ;)

You worked in one let alone do their finances? they make crap all. They make about 5 bucks on each hard drive, maybe 10 on a video card. When the send back a faulty product it ALWAYS gets tested and if found to be a non-manufacture defect (and yes they can tell if you overclocked it) then they refuse to give the company a replacement, so the company's out of luck. The user gets a free card, while screwing the company.

I have texture corruption in games. (I see a wall, where it isn't any, the character has a knife in its head, but it figures that it's only her hair, etc.)

So I think it must be one of the memorys of the 4 ones.

I just can't live without a computer for a day, because I have all my stuff stored on it. (MP3s, films, games, etc.)

And I work on it too. (downloading housework over the internet, etc.)

Especially now, when I have 3 new games that I can finally play with, because this card is 8.1 directX compatible.

(Thief 3, Doom 3, Silent Hill 3)... Too much 3s. :wacko:

I tried to cool it down, (placed a 8cm ventilator on the top, and on the bottom, and 2, 4cm ones on the GPU, and put 2 heatsinks on the memorys, for a card that only have a heatsink on the GPU in stock! :cool: So it was cool as hell :D )

After this problem I had the two 8cm ones removed, and it seems to get better... strange... it may have catched a cold. :p

It's really annyoing though.

I removed and inserted the card 2 times (after a shutdown of course :D ), but no use.

I don't have sooooo much corruption than yesterday... I'll give it a few more days.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
