Hard modding a 9800se

[jkabaseball]

I have an idea of what to connect, but not quite sure how to do it with. I herd you can soider it, but my skills aren't that good. What else could i use?

see this article: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/105

you can use solder, rear window defogger stuff, some people even recommend sucess with silver based thermal paste.. it seems that just some kind of connection is required

I can also recommend silver conductive paint. Easy to draw a trace with a pin, and rubs off with some meths if you make a mistake I used it for moding bridges on athlons. You should be able to get it at an electronics shop.

i have some BB, compusa, and radioshack, any of them carry that stuff? If not who might?

 

[W1zzard]

silver conductive paint is the same stuff as rear window defogger kit .. should be easier to find

since it in the 1-2 postion do i have to do anything to that connection to get the pro witht the 2-3

 

[W1zzard]

nope .. u can leave the resistor in 1-2 in place

ok i got another question. I added the artic cooler onto it and it seems to only be able to got to 360 on the core with ATI tool, but it can OC further by hand. Could this be a bios issue with the SE?

how much higher can you oc by hand, some of the se's dont overclock high at all and it might just be that atitool is detecting artifacts earlier than your eyes are.

sorry to bring this back up, but i have been having computer problems, which seemed to be fixed. I put so AS on the card in the right place, but it doens't recoginze as a Pro, do you have to flash the BIOS also to get it to work? or did i just install it wrong?

 

[jkabaseball]

If i flash it to a pro bios, and my connecting got sloppy and didn't work, would it still work with the pro bios and 4 pipelines?

 

[rodpad]

Yup, that's what i was trying to do but i couldn't manage to hard unlock the pipelines.
what are you doing to connect the points? pencil? some kind of paste? solder? I've had no luck with pencil or the paste that was included with my silencer
