Also noticed temps went up on my crossfired 5850's when i went to the latest driver pack. prior to upgrade idle was 38 deg c now sits at 48 deg c

Just about to fit a zalman vf900-cu to an x1900cf . All looks ok except they give you 8 ram heat sinks but the original VGA cooler comes into contact with one other chip on the card. Looks like the OEM cooler has gone to some effort to cool this extra chip as they have used a thermal material to...

Getting 1782 outs my x800Gt. have it unlocked to 12 pipes and mem and gpu overclocked

No probs about using the pic of my bridge. I read prior to doing my mod it was a big no no to join across laser cut hence time and efort to avoid the cut. Is it possible to gently remove the solder or open circuit both sides of the laser cut and see if this reverts your card back to normal.

have upped some pics of my mod to bypass laser cut in three stages First is card chowing chip with cooler removed Second is chip with laser cut bypassed third is pic of completed mod with conductive paint sealed http://www.users.on.net/~nofearz/prior%20to%20mod.jpg...

I recently managed to unlock my Saphire X800Gt to 12 pipes, thanks to the help of this forum. may be worth reading this thread. http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=10609 if needed can post blown up pics of before and after bridgingthe laser cut , what i used and how i did it. best...

Have a look at what else your comp is running. Like anti virus, messenger, spysweeper ect all running in the back ground. Turn everything you can off and see if it makes any difference. Also I have a bench mark app which was getting low scores, ended up being somehow monitor had been set to 60...

Which bios would I use to zap my card to a X800XT PE ? i flashed it using a bios "Sapphire X850 XT (PCI-E) 256 MB Jan 15th 2005 7:36 AM Jan 6th 2006 11:09 PM 507 / 520 Samsung 2.0" Flashed ok but is still recognized as a x800gt. had to reinstall drivers as pc thought it had a...

:) Ah well have gone this far may as well give it a shot :) then again it is quiet interesting to see the X800GT description of my card in 3dmark and the score it gets, may make a few other X800Gt users wonder why they arn't getting these speeds. Do you have a link to the bios file for the...

Ok have had a bit of time to play with the card. At the moment I have it sitting on 560 mhz core and 580 mhz memory. prior to opening up to 12 pipes I was able to reun memory at 604 mhz but card seems to lock up at this speed now. I have been running 3dmark05 as a stress test and also atitool...

ok, tried 16 pipe bios but still showing 12 pipes. have I messed up something here or is this cards max 12 unlocked pipes? im over the moon at getting the 12 working seeing as I had 8 to start with but 16 would be nice:)

Woohoo :) Worked a treat , thanks Dolf, have 12 ipes now. is there and danger or any reason not to try the 16 pin bios out ? Thanks again

Tried a reinstal of ATi tool, no good:( Will have a look at the chip on the weekend. I read a graphite pencil can be used? When using solder do you pretty much lay a reack of solder from one dot to the other bypassing the cut? Thanks once again for your help and advice on this. is getting late...

looks like the flash did something (ie worked) rom_fuse has changed slightly. maybe this card can't be openrd up easily? have attached new ati tool screen grabs taken after running x800gt12.bin bios cheers 0xyg3n

ok, I downloaded the modified flashrom. made a dos boot disc, copy modified flashrom to disc and copy your x800gt12.bin bios to disc as well as my orig bios just in case. booted comp into dos and ran flashrom.exe -f -p 0 x800gt12.bin. Seemed to flash and played a sounf through pc speaker when...
