Have you tried the mod, Tim?

Here is the mod made by me with Paakkis pics

**Sectorz** · 09-22-2008, 12:00 PM

Riska, I not sure but this is not the mods , you need to solder the resistance to a anothers place not just remove it ?

No news for the memory voltmod ?

**Riska** · 09-22-2008, 12:05 PM

Look at the pics i am pointing to the solderpads you have to move them to!
And read the text on the pics

Can anyone confirm this mod works? i dont want to risk unsoldering/resoldering resistors without knowing that its gonna work. won't the heat from an iron damage the resistors?

**Riska** · 09-22-2008, 01:09 PM

Not if the iron isent to hot aka 65watt go for 15-30watt iron

Has anybody already switched the sideport on the card?

**Riska** · 09-25-2008, 05:57 AM

What do you mean "the sideport" ?

**Sagart** · 09-25-2008, 07:16 AM

I think he means the direct connection between the GPUs(without the PCIe-bridge), as referred to by AMD/ATi as Sideport.
This feature is currently disabled AFAIK, but maybe someone know how to enable it?

**Riska** · 09-25-2008, 07:27 AM

What will you gain to enable it?

**Sagart** · 09-25-2008, 08:36 AM

Bandwith, and hopefully some performance. The data that are normally transferred through the PCIe-switch(the one between the GPUs), can be transferred directly between the GPUs, without going through the switch(that means higher datatransfer-speed).

Some said ATi won't enable it, but we'll just have to wait and see.

**emertX** · 09-25-2008, 10:29 PM

Others said, that Ati is going to reserve this feature until the next Geforce generation.
It will bring the card up to 40% more performance...

All you guys have got a switch on the card, near the crossfirebridge. Did you switch it already?

**Riska** · 09-26-2008, 06:48 AM

The switch is for pal/ntsc for the video mode

**emertX** · 09-26-2008, 08:07 AM

Sure?

**Riska** · 09-26-2008, 08:17 AM

yes i am sure the same was on the 3870x2

Thx man what fanspeed is the top bios set at? and what program should I use to artifact test my card at 790 915 before I flash im on vista 64.

**road-runner** · 10-05-2008, 06:25 PM

Will these work on sapphire cards?

**ViRuS2k** · 10-07-2008, 04:19 AM

i would also like to know if this asus bios works on the sapphire 4870x2 cards

are sapphire the only branded 4780x2 cards that have hynix gddr5 ? or are they all refrence to that asus bios.

**emertX** · 10-08-2008, 06:53 AM

It works on Sapphire Cards

There are 2 switches, I beleive one of them forces a different PCI-Express mode. You can get the cards half-working in X38 boards with incompatible BIOSes by toggling one of those switches.

**Hazzan** · 10-11-2008, 01:17 AM

I think ASUS TOP still reverence I dint see anything different ASUS HD 4870X2 TOP with ASUS HD 4870X2....

**road-runner** · 10-12-2008, 08:06 PM

I can flash both my cards and they will both work with these bios? I remember doing 2 2900s and after I flashed them windows would only see one card, I found some different bios and flashed one card so they both would not be exactly the same and then windows showed 2 cards...

**menko2** · 10-14-2008, 12:33 PM

i just put the TOP BIOS with success....it was the first time. i also added the 1.35v.

i can get the GPU at 845mhz with no pro; i will keep like this but it looks i can push a little more maybe.
im playing oblivion at 1920x1080 and AA 4Xedge-detect and the frame-rates are the same with 800 and 845mhz core...... maybe cpu bottleneck?? but i have a E8600 at 4,285ghz..... dont know.

the problem is the memories.... before i could get 965mhz maximum and then artifacts. now 1000mhz its ok, but i cant push it more because of CCC.

is there any way to overclock the memories apart from trying and flashing it in diferent BIOS?? once i know the right value i can flash it.

thank you!
