I'm starting this thread so to help each other with Mods/tips/etc involving this VGA.... :)
First off, here is a SIMPLE WAY for guys that still have 2 x 6pins connectors and they can't make Overdrive to work......
Go and get a "crocodile grabber" like the picture below...... :)
http://www.hipro-tech.com/images/hipro5/ATI_2900XT/Mods/Graber.gif
......and sort circuit the two pins of the VGA as shown in the picture below......

Another tip now....
Make your 2900's fan ALWAYS to work at FULL SPEED......
Get a 1KOhms resistor and place it between the YELLOW and the BLUE cables of the fan like the picture below.....

No soldering skills needed for the above "mods"......
I'll come up with more......:)

Basic lessons done, lets get to something more interesting hipro5 ;)
I'm very interested in measurements points for vgpu because I'm getting Pro and silently hopping that it is under volted ;)

We really need some software voltage adjustments...

@ Origin_Unknown: Yes I think it should be fine.....;)
As soon as I "naked" them, I'll upload much more.....This is a "general" ATI thread so to be all-in-one......:)

No need.....he can just sortcircuit the 2 "opened" pins of the 8pins connector and that's it....

Hmmmm.........ONE VGA is best on ASUS Blitz DDR3.....CF?.....I'll have to test both(P35 - 975) under LN2 and I'll see.....On air ABIT AW9D-MAX is faster as for 3D with TWO VGAs...;)
Is it really necessary to get a hold of two 8-pin PCIe power adapters?
(mine seem to run fine with the "standard" 2x6-pin PCIe connectors.. :shrug:

if you plug the 8 pin in it lets you use ati overdrive, thats why the mod above is used. (read and you shall see)

the overdrive "only" sets fan speed at 100% then?

No, it lets you overclock the card.

I am going to bring this thread up again to ask a burning question:
Crossfire Overclocking in a Vista x64 environment....is it possible without modded BIOS? Perhaps with a hardware mod to trick Vista?

Yet atill applicable. Or would you prefer I start another, identical thread? :down:

Ah?
You were serious?
There's no such thing as a "coldbug mod".
And yes, a new thread would be more effective.

As a matter of fact, there IS a "cold bug mod" for them........ ;)
I used to work mine at - 140*C BEFORE the mod and then, I worked them at - full LN2 subzero..... ;)
I'll post photos as soon as I find them....... ;)
EDIT: Take a look at the benching temperature in 3D Load..... :)

Now this is interesting. :)
Details about the mod? What causes the coldbug on R600?

Ironic that suddenly you're interested :D
100 identical threads wouldn't help anyone, it would just make it harder to find what you're looking for ;)
