Bypass the need for a 8pin din plug on a HD2900XT.

OneCool · May 25, 2007

All you need is a jumper wire like this

Now find a free 4pin 12volt rail off your psu and plug a female pin into a BLACK 12v lead..like this

Now looking at the HD2900XT's 8pin plug.With the connector snap facing UP connect the MALE pin to the bottom left pin ... here

Should look something like this...

This was just a quick thing and I will make a better jumper but I wanted to see if it would work and it does

I havent had a chance to OC the card yet but all signs say it should do better than my current 850/1000 with dual 6pin's only.

I will get back to this when I have more time..

Hurry up

Good Job

Maybe Wiz can do that

W1zzard · May 25, 2007

you are supplying ground to the ground pin of the 8pin plug. the 12v input is left empty. correct?

OneCool · May 26, 2007

Yep..It just opens the overdrive in the driver is all.

I based it off a picture of a 6pin to 8pin adapter.

So you could theoretically jump a 12v wire to the other pin.

I tried that but my motherboard wouldnt post.

It would just flash lights for a second and go dead.

Once taken out it still works fine.

The MSI comes with an adapter

OneCool · May 26, 2007

Looking at the plug it does the same thing I just did.

Ground the 8pin to show the OverDrive in the driver.

It doesnt have a 12v lead either? :confused:

DOM · May 26, 2007

Well see if you can get a better OC then 850/1000

OneCool · May 26, 2007

865/1000..best stable clocks on stock cooling.

Nice Score :toast:

How hot did it get ? @ 865/1000

Intel Conroe E6600 cooled by Xp-90c :wtf:

Is it really that cold ? If so why only 3423GHz ??
