Radeon X1800GTO@XT MOD (12P to 16P)

[chron]

rma it and say the fan died...

hey, what kind is it? how many mosfets do you have on the end? 5 or 6?

 

[ganescha]

its 5 on it. about the fan, they will test it and then they will see that it works in stocks speed. But how fun its that, damn it im dissipointed at this card. All others can raise the volt but not. Its no fun at all!

 

[ganescha]

forgot, its a sapphire.

 

[jonathan]

I have sapphire with 5 mosfets and my card is overckloked in 720 on core and 825 on memory.
In core i have 1.38V

 

[ganescha]

yeah there u go!! must be something weird with my card!
i was thinking, maybe this is a long shot, but can it be my windows?

 

[jonathan]

Send me your bios
jonathan81@tlen.pl

 

[ganescha]

was that the right adress, cus i got a delivery fail. im gonna try again.

 

[jonathan]

Adress is corect

 

[ganescha]

so did you get it?

 

[jonathan]

I send you bios with 1.31V on GPU
You do it on your risk
Have fun!!

 

[ganescha]

ok i figured this out.. its a volt bug, read about it at Xtremesystem forum, it seems its a bug that dont allow <--spell? volt over 1.2 on GPU. Some think ist a driver problem.. i dont, i have been testing every damn driver that exsist. im gonna follow that topic and see if any one figure it out. I realy would like to do a hard vmod instead. If you see any to a GTO or XL, please tell me.
I havent tryed out your bios mod yet Jonathan, but if you have only raised up the volt in RaBit i have allready done that.. 10000 times.

 

[jonathan]

In this bios i have change the vcore and memory timings.
Check it! Is only 2min work

 

[ganescha]

ok tested it, sorry it the same. It must be something that is holding it up.. like a resistans that dont let the volt go up higher on the board, how old is your card Jonathan?

I have a question:
for the x800gto @ x800xt pe mod you need a spezial flashrom (flashrom16p).
Is therer something for the x1800 gto too? Or does it works the the flashrom16p?

Thx for answers

To flash x1800gto you need only atiflash.exe and bios from x1800xl/xt

 

[Chat1000]

Yes thats right.
But so you can only active 16 pips with HIS cards(and a few connect3d).
I have a Sapphire (GB_PIPE_SELECT 0x12BB4). And i wanted to know if there is a way to active the 16 pips too.

A few days ago i flashed a x800gto @x800xt pe. And i found out that you can only active the 16 pips with the flashrom16p.

And now i want to know if there is a spezial flashrom for the x1800gto too.

If you look at the start of this thread, chron has posted a guide on how to mod your own bios. I guess if it don't work this way then it won't work any other way.

 

[ganescha]

can any one plz take some photos back of the card? pretty close ones so i can taek a look at it.. maybe its some kind of resistor that aint the same.

 

[ganescha]

Hi again.. plz some one take photos on the hole card back and front.. pretty closem would be great!

 

[JC316]

Chalk up another Sapphire X1800GTO that won't unlock. I tried flashing with the XL bios, but I still only get 12 pipes

 

[ganescha]

how about vmod it over 1.2, how does that work?

 

[chron]

[ganescha]
