The highest speed that I got was 364/540 with 2134pts in 3dmark03. But the card is dead now......(R.I.P in Silicon Heaven )

I learn all of these on my own by reading and experimenting but you at least need some basic electronics (V=IR ?? ). If I can do it, so can you

i screwed up my electrics subject. haha. stupid mechanical got electrical, no mood to learn. currently using x550 ddr2, not different from 9550xt ddr2, thinking of modding it. i go cheras u do for me can ar?

ha shah....apa lagi??? business opportunity dah mari....

Tried to mod my LGA775 heatsink to fit on my X800GT...

Sadly, the heatsink is too big...
It's touching the PCI-E Slot...

Sigh...
Thinking of using Socket 478 Prescott heatsink later on...
The problem is, i don't have any unused Prescott Socket 478 heatsink...

Or, should i use AMD heatsink?

Wooow there....It's not as easy as that. It takes time to figure out how to mod a card because different manufacturer uses different circuits/components and I do need to do some research .

Unless you find a specific guide on how to mod your card, I cannot do it for you ...sorry..... unless you lend me your whole rig for a few days because I don't have a PCIE system to test it

This is a little out of topic. Maybe you can use PM next time

Use any heatsink that you like as long as it fits...but watch the weight. You don't wanna bend your card.

It's as simple as that

Still remember that moded FX5200. I burned an IC when I set the Vmem to 3V. Search the web for the IC and found it at Farnell. But during the desoldering process, I rip a few soldering pads. So this is what I do.......





And if you are wondering, the card works. But then I soldered back the voltmod and start overclocking again. This time I killed the card for good. I think I fried the ram at 3.1V

wah... u are a gc killer... but in a hardcore way... cool man...

That is cool man!!!

Yr soldering equipment must be the expensive.
Am i right?
equipment u used = equipment inside the silicon wafer factory

Nope just a normal 40W soldering iron. Wanna know what type of soldering iron I'm using....look at my avatar

hahahha bila master tunjuk belang .. huhuhu
sumer pawahhhh !!!

I still have a lot to do if i were insisting to use the LGA775 heatsink on my X800GT...

I have to cut a lot of things...
Right now, it's touching my PCI-E X16 Slot...

But one thing for sure, i can't use crossfire with this heatsink...

planning to voltmod my FX5200 too...but now no $$$, doubt tat later my card toasted like SHah81's card!

but nvm....maybe nxt week or 2 weeks later, i will post my LCD mod pic here when my LCD arrive! lol

Hey shah...
I got one Powercolor ATI Radeon 9550 with a burnt ic...
Can u replace it for me?

I am very sure that the only thing that makes it unuseable is because the burnt IC...

How do i know that ic is burnt, is by looking on the back of the card, there's an ic that has a burnt mark...

Can u do that for me?
Can u?
Can u?

I'm also using a 20X4 LCD panel here. Currently using LCD Smartie to control the LCD and it rocks

PM me the markings/serial no. on the IC and if possible include a photo. I'll see what I can do.

Here's some more. This time it's a capacitor replacement for my friend's Leadtek Geforce 4mx. The card uses the crappy GSC caps and 5 of them became bloated. Replace it with a Panasonic 6.3V 2200uf.
This cap is gigantic but I have no choice because thats the only caps I have in my box and I'm damn lazy to go hunting for caps. Have to solder one of the caps to the back of the card because it won't fit between the caps anymore.

Look at the size different



Finished product.

Shah, can u teach me how to voltmod my fx5200???

cool! mind to post some pic of it?
btw...do install it on the front bay? any idea howto cut a same dimension hole at the bay cover to fit with the lcd??

Yeah sure. Open up a new thread and post a high resolution pic of your card front and back. But there a some prerequisite....you got to have a multimeter and know how to operate one. Please google around for info regarding voltmodding and read it to familiarize yourself with voltmodding.
To be honest with you, you won't get much from the FX5200

Some guide from VR-Zone...errr but the pictures are missing. CLICK ME
There are also tons of other voltmod guides there. Be sure to check it out too. You might learn a thing or 2.

Maybe I'll post the pic later. Lazy to take it apart. Just measure with a ruler......

AGP Current Booster Mod.

Actually I got the idea from Shamino's PCI Express Current Booster Mod. After reading the article, I was wondering if it was possible to do the same on an AGP system. So I downloaded the AGP slot pinouts and start modding.
This is the out come
