New 9800XT version??

[Tom Holck]

just got an ASUS XT board. It looks a little different?
Where to mesure the GRU-volt????:confused:

[Tom Holck]

GRU volt messuring point. And no big chip in the midle.

it's cuz the Asus has more features...ViVo I think...that's the big chip. Or something like that :D

Yes, it's "ATI RAGE THEATER" and some number.

But where can I messure the GRU-volt. Without that I can't make a GRU volt mod:(

I read that the new RivaTuner allows Asus XT users to monitor temps/volts (only core temps for other XT's).

here's the thread (http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33730178)

"But ASUS 9800XT owners are a way more lucky. The sensor installed on these boards can monitor 2 temperatures (core and memory), fan speed, AGP 3.3 voltage, AGP VDDQ voltage, Core voltage and memory voltage."


not ideal, coz it means having to boot into windows to monitor volts, but maybe useful as a last resort if you can't get the monitor point.

You can use the smartdoc software that Asus bundles with the card to check the GPU voltage.

That is what I do.

Hmm...and I was expecting an AIW-9800XT.

Yes, it is voltmodded. I am using the waterchill (old model). I have ordered some new watercooling parts already from Asetek. Hope to overclock higher soon in the future.
