RaBit is just around the corner, hopefully:

Quote:

Just a small update and that is that I just received a first beta version of the new RaBIT with some support for the Radeon HD 2x00 series. So we will see how fast it gets to a final stage.

According to MAVKE over at mvktech.net. (Posted yesterday)

It remains to see what it actually will support.

ownage, what motherboard are you using?

Are you on stock cooling for the video card?

How many fan connectors are on the card, and how many are being used?

Do you use dual 6 pin cables or one 6 pin and one 8 pin?

Are you using a seasonic or seasonic built (ex: corsair) psu?

What are the answers to these questions from people who can successfully flash their cards?

-Abit Ab9 Pro
-Dtek Fuzion GFX watercooling on the videocard.
-1 120mm fan blowing on the card.
- 2x6pins
-i use an VGA PSU, Fortron Booster X3 300watt.

I am thinking that the people who can not flash the cards are having trouble due to having an abit motherboard. That is the only similarity I can link between myself and ownage.

So whats your maximum stable (as in atitool artifact scanner) overclock nickless? You're on water with 1.35v bios mod and 1.45 with atitool right? Want to trade cards with me?

In atitool artifact scanner maximum stable overclock is 900/2100. Yes, I'm on water with 1.35v bios mod and 1.45 with atitool, but my card is cooling by separated water ring together with chipset. The CPU is under vapochill. Thatisway I can keep lower temps under heavy clock(46-48*C) and this combination between crazy card and good cooling give me these results!

Hi mate, this hapened to me last week, then i use ATIflash (from techpowerup, can flashing from windows) in a DFI mobo (because has 2 pci-x ports); with two video card, one in the first pci-x and the HD2900Pro in the second pci-x. for me dont work with a one pci video card.
then use the program and choose the 2nd pci-x video card (where is the card that need to reflash) to flash, its simply and easy (5 seconds), and you can revive the card.
The program is multilanguague:

what temps do you get @ vreg? also how do you cool it (vreg)?
11-25-2007, 12:11 PM
Truckchase!

Maybe I missed this from earlier, but has anyone flashed an XT with a modded PRO bios? I'd like to give it a try since the memory timings are different. Can someone share their stock (or modded) PRO bios?

Thank you!

Has anyone tried this? There are a ton of differences and I'm a bit nervous to go ahead.

Edit: By "this" I mean flashing an XT to a PRO

The max bios Vcore is 1.35v, it can't be set above 1.35v. To be effective voltage control in Ati tool, fyrst you have to set the frequensy and after that voltage, but this is only for Vcore, the other two settings working fine. If you set first Vcore and after that frequensy, Vcore is go back to default. This is some bug in Ati tool and I hope in the next release it will be fixed.
About voltage regulator temps they are 80-85*C under heavy load and 40-43*C idle!

Here are the bioses for HD2900 Pro1GB what @Rick Flair have posted before http://rs104.rapidshare.com/files/69...odded_bios.rar

By water, a lot of RAM-sinks and 2x120mm fans on the bottom from 1200 to 3100 rpm:) You can see a pic in my signature.
When I bench my PC sounds like jet-fighter:D
