I'm currently using the svideo-out on the 5200 to the svideo-in on the
tv, but there is way too much interference. I see about 100 grey
lines running from the top right to the bottom left of the screen.
I've tried various svideo cables (high quality and low quality
cables), but the interference is always there to one degree or
another. The case fans on the computer are directly besides the agp
slot, and when I turn off the fans the interference goes away
completely. Hooking up the computer to a monitor displays zero
interference with the fans turned on.
Is it possible to move your case fans? Does the interference decrease
as you move them further from your card? Do you really need those
fans on to provide adequate cooling to your case?
There are always other cooling options (bay mounted coolers, etc) that
you could use that would work and depending on your situation you
might not need the fans at all. Even my smallest case frontend
doesn't require anything more than the CPU fan...
I also have a FX5200 and it doesn't have a fan on it. I did put a fan
beside it because I noticed that it ran really hot (a fan that fits into
a pci slot). I am also running a svideo cable from the card to tv
(actually VCR) and the cable length is 6'. The one thing I did do was
spend a bit more ($15.00 CAD) for it and I don't have any problems. I
do wonder sometimes if the quality of the cable makes a difference but I
just can't seem to buy the cheapest. I'm attaching my xf86config for my
5200 below just in case thats the problem. Just so you know I'm using
the 6629 version from nvidia.
