FAQ:
How to flash?
1) Plug card in, install nvidia graphics drivers
2) Dl Magic Panel 3 from adliew's thread
3) Install MP3 and then use it to update to 08M.rom
4) Reboot and cross your fingers

If successful? - How to check?
after modding, rivatuner will show 9600GSO but it will be 128SP, 256-bit and 512MB memory. I think everything else stays the same (ROP, etc). Then you can OC to 8800GTS speeds and if you compare with the actual 8800GTS, difference is only in the ROP, if not mistaken.

If failed??? (Touch wood) What to do? - Panic mode
to in back up bios mode is press ctrl+alt+del when system boot up ....in 3 sec .....if sucess in back up mode ...the bios screen will became normal ...then u in window to recover it bios .....if no flash back..after u restart it will same like b4 ......

If you screw up, when booting, press ctrl+alt+del while booting and the card will switch to the backed up bios. Then go back into windows and reflash to the default firmware. You can use rivatuner or gpuz to back up your current bios. You can also download from another forumer who posted it a few pages back.

Yay! Congrats BBXiong ^^ I waiting for my card to be posted on Monday and most likely get it on Tues/Wed. Better add you to the list 3 Success vs 9 failures.. Wow.. Not bad.. 1:3 ratio.

Come join in the fun darude =D We cry together when both our cards can't mod. LOL!

Or can celebrate together when both can mod.

Temperature? How is it?

Icic.. Thx kucing for your info.. I hope my mobo is good with the card. Gulp..

Ohh!! Another one join the 9600GSO clan =) But it's the Galaxy OC version right? Wait for me we flash together ^^

Surely will be better if after flashing. Any GC with more RAM would perform better in 3DMark (High reso provided)

: ( Too bad bro.. Not OC version = Can't softmod and flash the bios. Haha.. You only can OC the clock speed.

No idea =/ No one seem to be selling their 9600GSO in LYN. 9600GSO OC can get from adliew for 388

Oh no! XD Stock mixup with adliew's supplier and I have to wait extra a few more days. Nevermind! We shall laugh when I get the card and softmod it =D

P.S. I somemore download ready 3DMark03,05 and 06 from my work place =P Should I play Assassin Creed first or Mass Effect? =3

Yay! No more noob slayer =P Congrats

Isn't that the price of a new one (But now petrol price increase.. all also increse)

Actually I don't mind a 250 for a 2nd hand card if the new one is 350. At least there's anything wrong there's still RMA warranty. And I get to save 100 bucks (Provided the card is about 1-6months old)

Zhenwei selling 9600GSO OC!!! =D If confirm moddable one only sell then it's a steal? How??? Adliewww!! Faster turn your supplier upside down for my card =P

Interesting =D BBXiong can mod already. Congrats =D

Wee~ Wee~ Got my card from adliew.

But phailed in softmodding T.T Lots of artifacts showed up. LOL! I get to see 512MB and 128 shader on GPUz though. Sobs sobs.

What do you guys use to OC the card? ATI tool? ATI tool don't provide shader OC for me. If use Magic Tuner when restart will it go back to default?

Hmm.. So according to KuchingFight if can boot after softmodding and artifacts show before entering windows can be mobo problem instead of card? So no matter use how many different cards also can't softmod la? =/ Cos I can see that the 512MB is unlocked in my windows with lots of artifact :sad: So near yet so far.

At what point to consider safe temp for the GPU? Like my Proc.. I set safe temp is about 70 for few years of usage at least and won't die so fast.

I wonder how you guys can oc so much =/ My temp of my GPU without OC already 50/85 when case closed. 50/75 with case open. And 50/77 with case closed but with PCI blower and cardboard to direct the heat out to the back.

Howwww?? I wanna OC =P
