I did X800Pro Pipes mod..but one problem.

Yeah, it sound as if my card is an XT, only with PRO BIOS, I'll try to flash it later on :toast:

Anyone think this'll work?

BTW: I can clock it to 443 on GPU and 605 on mem without RAM sinks..

Im gonna do the mod afterwards with AS5, does it contain enough silver to make contact?

any news?

Snakeplisken, from Overclockers UK forums, said:"IMPORTANT!
I have tried two more times to mod without success, but I noticed when I measured between the 4 points (with a multimeter in buzzer mode) that ALL points were connected!!!
I can also tell that I cleaned all conductive paint before buzzing, so could it be that ATI did something else?
Is it possible to softmod? or have they been more clever than that?

Does anybody else see this?
Try to measure (buzz) between all points before modding.

Sapphire X800 Pro
215RAACGA11F
GB8840.1
0419AA"

On my card, I can't see any lasercut between the two points.., Im gonna buy a multimeter afterwards, so ill check then ;)

AS5 :) :). No , AS is guaranteed not power conductive !! You must take conductive paint! AS is an silver-oxyd, not real conductive silver.

I can verify it. if i make the mod, i can messure with multimeter in buzz mod between all 4 points connections WITH MOD. Without Mod only between point 1 2 and 3

Hey, has anyone had problems with the x800xt bios & Catalyst 4.6's??

It was running fine in my aircooled rig but as soon as I transfered it to my Vapo rig, reflashed x800xt bios, it started playing up real bad...

How bad?? Like OS freezes once it detects my fake VIVO capabilities...

As soon as I reflash back to x800pro bios, everything's smooth again...

WTF???

Anyone with some insight into this?? I read on Rage3D forums that there were some problems but didn't think I had that problem as they X800XT bios was working fine on my aircooled rig...

Cheers,

Ummm STEvil,

nOOb question for ya:D

How do I disable RageTheatre Chip??

I'm thinking that it's because I installed the WDM drivers.

Here's what I did:
1: Driver
2: WDM
3: CP
4: System locks up when booting & all h3ll breaking loose...

Should I be just installing the drivers & CP & not the WDM??
Funny thing is that I had the WDM drivers installed manually when it was in my aircooled rig...

Any help appreciated.

Minnyboy

use x800 bios... and overclock the card ;)

Device manager, there will be 2 things with "?" next to them because they are not actually on the card.

FUGGER posted the fix in the catalyst 4.6 thread (which is to disable the "?" items).

On my X800PRO, I have a Rage Theater chip on the underside of my card...
IS my X800PRO a XT with X800PRO BIOS?

You can answer the question yourself and lock if 16x1 is showing in ATI Tool or not. Then 16x1, its an XT ;) after flashing the XT Bios.

Nah, I mean if the X800XT BIOS unlocks the 4 pipes..

i think no. in the moment you can only activate the pipes with hardwaremod. if they works, then the XT Bios is useable.

Well. I'd say that all VIVO cards are fullbread XT cards that just has 4 of the pipes locked in some other way than those 4 dots.
btw. That's a :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ty clock on the core kasp :o

U mean bad clock on GPU?
Im going downtown tomorrow to buy a multimeter, then, if it's contact, ill flash the BIOS to XT..

Thanks STEvil,

had to go into "Safe Mode" & delete all references to atiwdm & basicalll reinstalled a fresh set of 4.6 drivers....

Gained an extra 1K odd 3DMark03 pts...

Now need to get some conductive paint to get down & dirty...

Haven't heard much success so far though so am weary about the mod....

First it's a:
"You just have to solder this point to this point"
Then:
"If your numbers match this & that"
Now:
"There's so called softmods"
And even doing the tiki-tiki dance :D

Might have to "upgrade" my "old" 9800XT for some x800xt pe or 6800 ultra/gt/SE/extreme/humungous action:D

Man, how many names can a card have?? Oh well, I suppose other makers can go out & OC there GPU a bit & call it an X800XT Ultra Extreme GT edition:rolleyes: ...........

Cheers,
Minnyboy

So what are you doing??

Don't tell me you're going downtown to buy a multimeter to flash the bios??

You quoted 445 on the GPU... I'm thinking you meant 545 there as that's a bit low (maybe x800SE)...

I have to agree with Veritas.no there... That's not a very good OC... Mine can do 585/585 with the stock cooler & x800pro bios... With the X800XT PE bios, it can do at least 605/590 (with WC)... Haven't tried to max it out on air...

You gonna do a vmod I assume??

Cheers,
Minnyboy

Sorry, i meant 545..
It does 637 now, with 4 sinks on the mem...
SO u think I should just flash the BIOS to XT now?

yes, no problem, the XT clocks are 525/573. So your 545/637 more then ok & safe. BUT DONT FORGOT TO SAFE YOUR ORIGINAL BIOS AT FIRST!

It seems most cards that work as full fledged XT's are 0416's (2004, week 16)...

I would hazard a guess that after week 16 ATI began blowing/cutting the internal bridge and thus that is why we havent seen any cores produced after that date work for the mod.

Smart thinking dude :smileysex
So that means I cant mod my card :doh:

My Card is 0414 and is lasercut and is not possible to mod @16x1. Its only luck and a gamble.

I hate my card allready. Does around 515 on the core. Even if I could mod it to an XT it wouldn't have the MHz to run at XT. Guess I'll return the bastard.

Yo, I checked with the multimeter today, there is contact between 1, 2, 3 and 4th dot, but the big dot in the middle has no contact with any of the small dots..
Is this something important?

Important is point 3-4 , so you must have all 16 pipes, or the 4 pipes are damaged without lasercut. The big i have also no contact.
I would flash the XT Bios and then look if you have 16x1.
