r0x!

I want an X800XT. What the fuck is ATI waiting for to manufacture them in mass? I'm tired of waiting.

 

[epmode]

tell me about it. i think i'm just going to buy an x800 xt or a 6800 ultra. whichever i can get first.

Yeah no kidding... I was going to grab a x800pro if things didn't work out. those push tabs on the stock fan were really hard to pull out.

There was a bit of struggle getting the stock fan off and I thought I had fubared my card up for sure... the computing gods were looking out for me.

i did that last feb

mostly because the 9800 pros are mini heaters and I didnt want my cpu to melt


edit also I nabbed a pair of needle nosed plaiers before I did my mod

it went great except I totally pulled of the plastic housing the fan power cord plugs into (right off the mainboard) luckily it stuck back on no problem


did u use the temp sensor?

me I installed the fan control panel on the back of the case and cranked it too 5500 rpms and havent looked back

we have them in canada already ? :/ it's awesome that the computer store i go to always gets everything first in canada Since it's ATI it's safe to assume it's the first place that got them, period. www.pccanada.com

No I didn't use a temp sensor...

And to increase difficulty in installing the damned thing, I didn't have needle nose pliers, so I just subsitituted with cutting pliers... the back tabs of the stock fan are non existant mainly because those damned pins didn't want to fully come off.
