DEFEAT the COLD BUG on the X1900XTX by Moding it.......
Remember my WR in 2k1 with the 55287 3DMarks?.......Forget it....!.....:D
It was done with the X1900XTX at 909MHz core and 922MHz rams due to COLD BUG problem and under a single phase change..... :)
NOW......How is it sound if we could voltmod it so as to handle up to -100*C (evap) and -76*C ATItool reading?...... :D
BEFORE: At 4127MHz (dothan), I had a Nature 601fps.....
NOW: At 2970MHz (dothan - air), I have a Nature 626fps working the X1900XTX at 976MHz core and 972MHz rams (and haven't even found it's max yet).....;) :banana:
SO it might be between 636 - 646 fps when dothan goes @ 4127MHz......:banana: :D
Let's go back to 55287 marks score and ADD another 40 fps ONLY from Nature.....thas 40x20 = 800 marks more = 56xxx marks total.......Now ADD all the other tests too.......:D
Mods:
Startup VCore 1.35Volts (default 1.1Volts)
Benching VCore = 1.78Volts
VDDCI = 1.75Volts
There's ALSO a little "trick" about the rams which could give you about 30MHz more on air and 50 - 60MHz more under phase change.... ;)
I'll update as soon as I take some photos(maybe tommorow).....;)
