Radeon X1800GTO@XT MOD (12P to 16P)

[ace80]

ok weirdest thing, i've been trying to get temp and voltage control using ati tool for quite some time now using the flash.bat method, must have tryed it at least 10 times without any luck. Anyhow i woke up this morning and thought once more for luck and shazam now works perfectly, dont know what i was doing wrong before but i'm one happy guy.

Strange that yours is already unlocked AJ, oh well saves u some messing around. Do u have temp or voltage control?

gimme a minute to install all the mobo drivers and suchlike,as i did a fresh windows install for card.
just got to install the latest mobo drvs and i`ll post results

i`ll check with atitool 2.5 beta.

ps...couple of things worried me when opening box...

screw down clamp on card was a bit bent,and the driver disk paper sleeve was ripped.

damn...elation subsides...

different reading twix everest and atitool

----------------------------------
update 2 !

sweet god of breasts and butts !

what a card !...this HIS urinates all over the Sapphire version,the cooling alone is worth the extra couple of quid,never mind the software that comes with it,and the performance is much better,even without the clocking or bios pipe tweak.

time for some 3dmark05

Personnaly i'd trust what ati tool says, r u gonna try the unlock with the hex editor, that worked perfectly for me.
Just in the middle of OC'ing, will post back results and benchmarks.

after frying the sapphire and RMA`ing it,i`m a bit iffy about even staring at the thing right now.

might do it once i have done some benchmarking,as i still have all the results i got from the Sapphire.

Fair enough man, it took me about a week to get enough guts to mod it too, i would of cried if i killed this card to.

Just reached my highest OC with voltages at 1.4v for core and 2.2v for mem, would go higher but temps become an issue.

Max temps running furry dice for 20mins were,
Gpu - 64°
Vregs - 59°
PCB - 50°

About to do some benchmarking now, get back soon

AJ, thats interesting... They sent you a used card that was already unlocked. I bet the previous owner wasn't finding voltage control and thought the GTO had none...

Is it the IceQ version?

I have been reading through this thread for over an hour trying to find out which bios to use to turn my HIS X1800 GTO IceQ3 Turbo 256MB into a xt or what would be the best one for my card?
chron, are you still using the modded HIS X1800 GTO bios?

That's the one I am using now but I was wondering if I could use one from a XT.

havent seen any mention of an XT bios swap,just the Gto to XL

bios

Has anyone used there own bios to flash ur cards with ? I mean I just made a few backups then modded one and i was done with 16 pipes.

I was very aprahensive at first but once i felt i overclocked it enough from a stock state, then I was ok to start flashing. but i did the homework.

personally i would not use any other bios than the stock one. just modded

I thought the title of the thread meant how to change a GTO to a XT, "Radeon X1800GTO@XT MOD" Silly me.

There are some instructions on how to do it. Its pretty simple. Be sure to post bench results...

I lost my original bios when I flashed, didn't save it right where can I get one to replace it. I would like to try and mod it?

Has that bios been modded if not it will have only 12 pipes unlocked and I have already unlocked 16. Will it convert me back to 12? Sorry for the dumb question.

Edit:Found the answer.

I finally got it thanks to all for your help. Just ran 3DMARK05 and my score went from 8164 to 9766 at 675/675, 06 went from 3350 to 3986 @ 621/621. Now that's what I'm talkin about.

I overclocked my HIS X1800GTO to 702/805 @ 1.35V/2.10V @ 16pp (3dmark05= 9.5K with a 3.8ghz Intel D 930)

Now I want to edit the voltages and mhz of the bios with rabit to use the card like that speeds are the cards default but I couldn't see any "ram voltage" ? How can I increase the ram voltage in the bios? rabit has only gpu voltage.

I have a program called overclocker and you don't need to fool with the bios just set the voltages to what you want and hit set clocks then mine pops up and says no clocks were selected but it did set them anyhow. Not sure where I got it will check google .
