Club3D GeForce 8800 GT, and PCI Express runs at x4 speed? - 2008/05/30 01:54
Hello, I'm having a problem with a Club3D GeForce 8800 GT card. The GPU-Z program reports that the card is working at x4 speed and connected to an x16 slot. I've read the motherboard manual and it tells nothing about the x16 slot speed, I assume it is capable of running at x16 speed. What's the usual source of this problem?
System Specifications...
- Intel Pentium D 940 Dual Core Processor
- Club3D GeForce 8800 GT Graphics Card
- Foxconn 945G7MV Intel 945G Mainboard
- Unknown 3GB DDR2 System Memory
- ForceWare Driver 175.16
I thought, the motherboard only has PCI Express 1.x mode, maybe this can be fixed with a newer BIOS version, and were comes the second problem. I've tried the 62.92.27.00.00 available in the long thread about the GeForce 8800 GT and PCI Express compatibility. I used NiBiTor to check out the differences between the two BIOS's, besides the vendors ID's, some memory parameters were different. I change then to the values of my original BIOS, but after flashing and rebooting, I immediately saw corruption.
I also tried the original 62.92.27.00.00, the original EVGA 62.92.24.00.01, same result. Flashed back the original BIOS, no corruption. This version doesn't have speed fan control and reporting, I also can't read the temperature. Any thoughts?
