yea, in almost all of the situations you can flash the bios back, i once tried flashing 9700pro to 9600NP(mistaken, took the 9550 flash diskette instead of the 9700pro flash diskette) and still i chould flash after that the 9700pro back to his old bios, and it worked just fine after that..., it almost cant be that you wont have a boot after flashing this R480 to R430 X800's Bios...

stingush you said you've flashed to X800GT BIOS, but you didn't mention nothing about the pipes? Can you show us some shots so we can see if they really work right?
Thanks

Bur how about x800RX from club3d? If they are only BIOS lokcked, its pretty easy to flash another bios, and try how luck you are :p:

I emailed him asking how he opened to 16pipes.

He answers:

I assume You're talking about the most lately added photo. Basically it describes what to do to unlock 16pipes. :D

So how to unlock 16pipes?

First of all You must have a R423 GPU, because noone, AFAIK, successfully modded R480 one. Also it seems that more X800GTs with blue PCB can done 16p working than with red PCB.

The yellow rectangle is for unlocking 12 pipes, and if You successfully connected pins marked with yellow rectangle... You have to do the same with pins marked with red rectangle - they respond to 16 pipes. If Successed... voila, You've got 16pipes unlocked :)

Small tip:
If you ar using standard cooling system on your GPU, than you should think about decreasing the core clock (with 16p unlocked) because its temperature goes really high.

Bad news here guys :(
Sapphire X800GTs which are OK with Modding 8->12 pipes have got 0530 production No. on their PCB, but new line - 0533 - doesn't play well, based on tests made by PITer... After Modding around 10 samples none of them successed in unlocking 12 pipes ;/

Hope You've got 0530 models.

P.S. Next week I should get some GeCube X800GTs with 256MB, I hope they will do well with 12p :)

Will try to mod my X800GT today.
So at first connecting the dots in the yellow rectangle for 8->12 and if I was successful the red ones for 12->16?!
Do I have to flash a BIOS for 8->12 (12->16) ?

C3, good luck, and what card you have, from sapphire?

Got a Powercolor X800GT 256MByte. Unfortunately I got R480 core,so I can't mod it temporaily,or am I wrong? Afaik is the mod just for the R423?!
09-10-2005, 04:36 AM

Yep, mod ir only for R423 core, but try to flash Powercolor x800XL bios who doesn't have external power, and decrease clocks, and matbe rty to flash another bioses, maybe it's help.
Good luck!

For 8->12 - NO - Card is seen as simple X800GT by Your OS, but RivaTiner recognize 12p correctly.
For 12->16 - Yes, but dunno which one :confused: I'd try the X800XL BIOS or X800/PRO.

As for R480, there have to be smth with the core or maybe there are another pins to connect on PCB smth like R9500@R9700 :?

i got the club3d x800rx as well, bought it for very cheap, tried flashing a club3d x850xt bios onto it, it gave me an error and didnt flash, then there was an option to force it... i did try the option... but when i look here in windows in everest, it still says i have the RX bios, and rivatuner showed me that i still have 8 pipelines....
anyone has the correct bios to flash onto it? :)

edit :
i'm gonna try some other biosses, maybe a x850 pro bios, and something with 2 ns, i'll let u guys know if it works...
