Nope. Tried that already. I had no difference in ocing performance. Initially i was on a akasa adater with 6 wires and connetors to 2 molexes. Now im on the adaptor that came with the card as it makes my case tidyOriginally Posted by DamienKC

Nooooo. He's talking about the 6 pin pci-e connector that you plug into the socket at the top right corner of the card. If your PSU doesnt have such a connector, you need to use a 4 pin molex to 6 pin PCI-e adaptor like supplied with the card. But that adaptor only connects to one molex (3 wires) He was asking if an adaptor that connects to 2 molex connectors with5 wires would be more stable. Ill try to get a picture.....
(I think thats what he was asking...lol. Im not sure lol)

Hm darn, I was hoping I had a 600+ core card sitting in my hands but not enough juice! :P
I guess volt modding is always an option.

Does anyone actually know how to volt mod these cards? AFAIK Its tricky to do so with a pencil, but is possible. I really dont want to solder anything onto it... . If soldering is the only option, I wont bother because i dont think its worth the effort. Im at 579/615 MHz, but really want 600/615 or better
BTW, i checked the voltage with my multimeter. When Idle in windows, the vcore is a a solid 1.40 volts, but drops to 1.39 under load (3d mark, games, etc). Im thinking modding it to 1.45 volts will help and should be safe on stock cooling. Mine stays under 60*C at all times so heat isnt an issue at the moment

If you figure out/find a link to pencil mod these cards, LMK! It's probably VERY similar to x800pro/xt/x850xt's. I've never voltmodded but I wouldn't mind doing so if it's clean enough.

Here ya go: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/...voltmods/112/1
The PCB is EXACTLY the same, and the point where it says to measure to check the VGPU works here
I voltmoded before. Did it to my 6600GT. using a pencil, went from 1.4 to 1.7 volts on the VGPU. Didnt help though. Just made my card run hotter, and when overclocked, artifacted like hell

For the record guys.
I have tried 3 GTO2's so far. 2 of em were NOT stable at XTPE speeds (maybe coz of the tiny cooler) but 1 did make it and has not been anyslower than 540/590 since the time i flashed it (1min after i took her out of her box)
My Personal Records:
Infineon BH-6 (1x256MB) at 290MHz [2-2-2-5] at 4.0V // CPU-Z // PIC
Infineon BH-6 (2x256MB) at 270MHz [2-2-2-5] at 3.63V // PIC // BENCH 1 // BENCH 2
Kreton UTT (1x512MB) at 270MHz at 3.35V [2-2-2-5] // CPU-Z // PIC
Infineon BH-6 (4x256MB) at 270MHz at 3.8V [2-2-2-5] // CPU-Z // BENCHMARKS
Can you guys tell me how many points did you win when flashing to 16pp?
I got this with 12pp..
thanks
Maybe 1200 more points that you from what I've seen.....13066 is an excellent score with 12pp!
Ok great Vapor
Yes It seems to be a good score, the cpu must help a bit with 2800 mhz I think too.
I will flash It tonight.. I am going to buy an usb key this afternoon in order to flash the card..
I wish I could have activated my Sapphire X800GTO Fireblade Edition card's last four pipes. I got some nice results with just 12 pipes. I flashed the modded gto2 bios with flashom, the card accepted the bios but the four pipes haven't been activated. Here are the results
Asus Rampage II Extreme - Intel Core i7 920 - 3x2 GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHz -1792MB Zotac GTX 295 - 500 GB Seagate 7200.12 - 1 TB Seagate 7200.11 - 500 GB WD Hdd - 16x Nec Sata DVD-RW - 26" Samsung T260 - Logitech Pro Keyboard - G5 Mouse - Razermat Control Pad - Lian-Li V2000 Case - Tagan 700Watt BZ Psu - Logitech Z5500 Speakers
