Sapphire X800Pro-XTPE Flash

[TRow]

The Card I was sent was a Sapphire X800Pro VIVO with 1.6ns RAM. The 4 pipes were in fact unstable, and showed heavy corruption with Pro and XTPE Bios. I almost sh*t when I thought I fried this card but luckily it can all be reversed.

I had to flash a special empty.bin bios to clear the Pipe mod, and luckily I was able to convert to factory conditions. The card may have some overclock potential, but its definately a no go for converting. I reinstalled the ATi 4, even though I may water cool it soon. Heres a updated pic.



EDIT: Notice the Black Nylon Cable Tie protruding from the Empty Rear Exhaust Grill? Thats for stability due to the sh*tty PCI Slot Mechanism. The Weight of the ATi 4 is too much for the Latch.

I got bored tonight and and Installed the Danger Den Acetal GPU Block back on. I did what any reasonably insane person would do from this forum;D

Took about 2 hours to drain, install, and refill. It will take a few hours for the water to stabilize, the foam is caused by "Water Wetter" and heavy doses of UV Dye. Heres a updated photo in True Cruiser Fashion
