    x800 np somebody put me out of my misery

    Okay here it is I have been puzzling with this card for weeks. First of all it supposed to be an r430 board but my vga silencer 5does not fit and I had to dremel it to get it on. The speed of the thing seems to be too fast for an ordinary hybrid. This is what is written on the core:-...

    Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 4 Rev. 2

    No mine is a pci-e r430 its just that sapphire decided to shuffle the board around,I had to cut out a little bit(an inch) of the very hard copperplate and cooling fins,only cause it was too much hassle to send it back. It works great anyway.

    Bios For Powercolor Needed

    Try one of the other XL bios the HIS has dual dvi,you can alter them with RaBiT I think. Although they all seem to work to varying degrees. I have flashed my x800 several times with different ones they all worked,so far anyway.

    Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 4 Rev. 2

    I know its a different model but my ATI silencer 5 rev2 for r430 x800s does not fit on a sapphire board,my board is blue if that makes any difference. It took over an hour with a dremel to make it fit. It was worth the effort though.

    IDE problems

    If you enter the bios their should be something like ide/raid function which allows you to choose the ones you use for raid,switch to disable if if you are not using that ide for raid. If you are not using raid at all just disable raid in the bios.
