Help overclocking a x800 Pro ViVo to XT

[ivan288]

Hey guys I am new here and need help.
I have allready read W1zzards tutorials but i was still unable to unlock the other 4 pipes.
I am not sure if i used the right bios. On the Bios page i couldnt find a Sapphire x800Pro ViVo (Pci-E) so i used the on for AGP. Anyways after testing the faster speeds of 520/560 i flashed the new bios and rebooted. The thing is i dont see what type of card windows detects, it just says x800 series. And after installin newest catalyst driver and runnin Atitool i still have only 12 pipes runnin. Dunno why, any help??

The PCI-E versions are laser cut and have a on-die lock usually... you can't unlock them most of the time.

ohhhh I see, noone has ever said anything about that. I thought they were unlockable too.
Too bad.... So there is no way around that ??

The laser cuts can be fixed, but the on-die locks, there has been no way found around that.

how do i find out if it has this on-die lock?

Run Atitool and press shift when clicking settings, and then in the new screen scroll down a little until you see "FUSES" and take a screen shot. Then post it here.
