DEFEAT the COLD BUG on the X1900XTX by Moding it.......

[Jort]

mhh aint to difficult i think lol

tnx george

[hipro5]

You're welcome......

VDD Mod......

[Overklokk]

You're welcome......

VDD Mod......

Dam nice Hipro

Where is the vdd messure points?

And another question: After i killed my xtx trying the vcore mod i realy is afraid too try again on my new card. But i realy want too doo it beqouse the card can doo 910/940 with only the vddi mod @ 1,7v.

Can i doo the mod wiout soldring? is it possible too glue the wire too the resistor?

Yes my bad.....sorry....

Measuring point of the Vdd.......




P.S. I'm trying to find another soldering point for the VCore Mod for you Overklokk.....

[Overklokk]

Tnx Hipro!!

I realy hope you find it

[blind_ripper]

woot what du u think from my pcb color ? yes can u gleu it or do a pencil mod like with the x8x0 serie ? that whas somthing i liket about the cards :p , if u cant solder pencil it that whas my option

Hey hypro5
First I want to thank all work your doing for us not only in this thread but in general.
Nice to have you here! :cheers:

Btw, that carbon resistors are very sensitive.
I think that happens because the hot of iron solder damages the resistor's carbon.
I think if you guys use a good iron like JBC 11W (not 30W iron bought on $1 store) and try to not heat the resistor much time the resistor will work good after the mod.

I don't have X1900XTX and didn't seen any in my hand to try the mod but i think that's the cause of dead cause it happens in much electronic devices like pstwo's etc

I do this with pstwo resistors and never killed any but I've one here to reapir with that problem

What do you think hypro?

[hipro5]

Hey hypro5
What do you think hypro?

I think that I have a new WORLD RECORD with a single card at 3DMark2005........No....?.......




COMPARE URL 2k5......


.

[blind_ripper]

yes u do i think nice clocks on the gfx

[AACDIRECT]

WOW

Really amazing score.

You were owned lasac lol /kidding

Now what's next hipro (bench prog) ?

Congrats

[Wiker]

Gratz!

[Marioace]

very nice score hipro!!

i'm scare about CF score with that cards

Despite the humour, YES you're right about that...

[Lasac]

Another owesome result
Well done m8!

Go for the last MHz to break the 1GHz/1GHz barrier

What do you think hypro?

but with a thermocontroled solder you can avoid to burn any component.

btw if you cause some damage to the resistor you can put another resistor in paralell with big resistance than the damaged. with that you made a new resistor with the same value of the another.

Yes you can use a thermocontroled solder but a good one is expensive ($200 range) and you can buy a good iron solder like JBC 11W for $25 or less!

This is the cheaper way and 11W iron solder is safety if you or someone use it like i explained before.


Yes, you can add or change the resistor with new one like hypro said.
On change i recomend using hot air iron to solder the new resistor. That just sends hot air to the resistor place and the probability to kill another resistor is very low.

I allways use it to change smd parts ans works good!

just my 0.25 cents!

[POGE]

Holy crap this thread is amazing. Sorry to go off topic but is there any hard vmod I could do for my x1900xtx with a vf-700? I hate softmods lol. :-\

[hipro5]

He, he, he.......Now I'm at 1021MHz core and 1008MHz Rams as for the Nature of the 2k1 and at 2970MHz, I got 649 fps.......

2k5 = 1008MHz core and 1008MHz Rams........

[GoriLLakoS]

haha....you are unpredictable man....

i am working all day.....and when i come home...i am looking to this thread for any improvements.....

i know that if i leave you the card 10 more days...it will be running 20more mhz than know...

[G H Z]

hipro your new goal is 2Ghz/2Ghz benchable

May I ask what the card idle/loaded temp is now in ATI Tool?

[hipro5]

When it reaches -78*C, I start to bench coz IF I leave it idle with out pressing the "bench botton", it starts artifacting at -81 to -83*C........Load is -65*C on ATI tool........

[hipro5]

Today evening something bad happen to me.......

I was backing up Windows as an image file and I left the ring to do so coz I had some other things to do......When I turned my head so as to see if it has finished, I show the rig shutted down.....Getting closer to it, I show the VGA's evaporator temperature showing 128*C.......I have forgotten to power up the second stage of the cascade.......VGA's stage..... The temperature might be way over that, I suppose, coz I don't know for how long the rig was down...... I fired up the second stage so as to cool it down a bit and see if anything "bad" had happen to the VGA and I was over it all the time till the temp drop at 0*C......I fired up the rig and everything was fine....EXCEPT one thing......After some seconds the VGA was shutting down and one power indicator led of it was turning ON.......and the VCore was up and down..........

I noticed though the bracket that holds the evaporator on the VGA was awful......almost like a U shape.....
I fire up the second stage once again and left it up to -105*C.......I booted and I was OK.....NO power indicator led was ON on the VGA........Into Windows with -105*C and no cold bug problem......."Strange" I said.......ATI tool was showing 22*C........Ooooopppsssssss.......What's going on here?.......I said......After some observations I came up to the conclusion that the evaporator was not making a good contact with the core any more........I reinstall it and now I'm OK.......I think I did a GOOD "burn-in" to this VGA with this way coz now I'm able to run 2k1 Nature @ 1036MHz core and 1008MHz Rams.......Sorry Gorillakos.......That was close........


NOW......I want to CONGRATULATE ATI's technicians coz NOTHING bad happen to the VGA and believe me this VGA has passed through a LOT of torture.......


I'll upload some photos tommorow of it.......Arctic Ceramique was like stone and brown colour.....

[G H Z]

Nice burn in hipro

That is amazing it still runs after that, kudo's to ATI.
