Thanks dolf.
Please edit your post and erase my e-mail, i don`t want spam.

[clems159]

it seems that ive got the same bios as
alfjoker
here is mine :

Yes the BIOS is same.
But is your card modable? If yes and you want the bootable flash cd (automated) I can send it to you. Just give me e-mail.

[clems159]

how can i know if my card is modable?

i posted the 3 images of my bios up (before alfjoker post)

if i can flash my bios its ok?
my mail is bobba_fr@yahoo.fr

Sorry, it can not be unlocked.

[alexwsk]

You can have 12 pipes with just BIOS flashing :) . Post your original BIOS for moding to 12 (16) pipes.

Hi dolf, thanks for replying. Didn't expect that my card can be unlock:cool: Here's my bios extracted using atiflash v3.15 using command "atiflash -s 0 X800SEr423.bin". A few questions before flashing the new bios,

1) Should I flash it to 16 pipelines or 12 pipelines first?
2) After flashing, how do I test whether the unlocked pipelines are working properly? Do I use the scan artifacts feature from ATITool to check it?
3) Other than unlocking the pipelines, the new bios will not change the default core & mem clock, rite?
4) If something went wrong after unlocking the pipelines, I can always flash back to the original bios, rite?

Thanks to anyone who are going to modify my bios:roll:

[dolf]

Alexwsk, here you are modded to 12 pipes BIOS. Use the modified flashrom which could be downloaded from here: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/100
Use the following command line: flashrom -f -p 0 X800SE12.bin

The answer of the other questions is:
1. Use the atached BIOS
2. See the number of the pipes with ATITool and test for artifacts with it
3. Yes
4. Yes

If you still have 8 pipes after the flashing you have to remove the cooler and to locate the bridge area. After that you have to connect the right bridge. (In the above link you can see the left bridge laser cutted but on your core it should be the right or both). 12 pipes will be obtained with connection of the right bridge and if the left is cutted you can connect it also. If the left bridge is originaly cutted and you connect it (also the right) take the fuses again and post them (after the connection).

Hello. I'm wondering if I can mod my card. It's AGP so I'm afraid I'll get the wrong bios and end up killing it. It's a saphire x800 GTO AGP.

Sigh, just flashing the bios didn't unlock any pipelines. The only difference is CONFIG_ROM_FUSES changed to 0xA861

:ohwell: Guess I'll have to connect the bridge to see whether it'll work. I hope only the right side bridge is laser cut. By the way, what's the best material to connect the bridge (lacquer, pencil, conductive pen, electrical tapes ....)? I found out that there are many types of lacquer :eek: (nail, wood, paint....), so which one to use? Thx

[Sam Drugbringer]

Ok, I THINK this is it.

http://dwl7.yourfile.org/19963271302665/

I used ATI tray tools to dump my bios. In case you can't tell, I'm pretty new at this, and when I tried to play with my 9800 pro I turned it into slag.

[megalo]

I have a saphire x800 pro vivo pci-e video card.

Is this card moddable?

I have already tried the flashrom but I don't know what the correct adapter port for my video card is. when typing the "flashrom.exe -s 0 backup.rom" to backup my bios, the pc responds with something along the lines of "adapter port 0 nonexistent". And of course, i don't know what that number is.

[Bossweed16pipes]

I may got a locked core or something cause it just don’t allow me to write the new BIOS. When I type flashrom –i (information) it say that it´s locked.

I tried firstly with flashrom16p and Sapphire X800XL AGP BIOS using a bootup cd made with Nero (using DosBootimage.ima) and it just throws me “ERROR 0F0LI”.
Then I used flashrom240 and Atiflash309 with the same results. I even give Winflash a try but it just completely hangs my system starting it.

Then I thought maybe it´s Nero´s boot cd the guilty one so I boot up with a Win98SE cd and after booting use the cd with the flasher and the BIOS: same result…
I´m using the command line: flashrom –f –p 0 1.bin, Is there something wrong with it?

As a last try I though that the flash source should allow Read and Write and so I copied flashrom and Bios to a hard drive. Boot up with win98se cd and it just don´t recognice my IDE hard drive (even unplugging the SATA with contains my OS) configured as Primary IDE .

This is very annoying and I´m disappointed cause I was sure that I got a modeable card
:mad: What´s Wrong????????? :mad: Can anyone help me?

I cant´t send you my default BIOS by web cause a error shows up uploading it (same problem attaching pictures to my post), so send me you’re e-mail and I will send it to you. Maybe you Tech Power Up guys can mod it for me and send me a Image.

[dolf]

Use atiflash with the following command line:
atiflash -newbios -f -p 0 biosname.bin (in DOS mode) ;)

You must boot to clean DOS system (best from floppy, pendrive or CD).
Your IDE HDD cant be detected, because it has FAT32 file system.
Make a bootable floppy and follow Dolfs advice.
If you want to upload bios as an attachment, pack it first.
btw. Are you sure of bios you are flashing? X800XL bios is good for R430 cores only.

[andyman5002]

Hi guys, im very new to this overclocking and modding stuff but i was wondering is my card moddable?. Here is my ATI Tool screen shot.

http://img.techpowerup.org/060423/screen.jpg

It says its an R430 core, and i tried over clocking the max i got was 440Mhz stable with no artifacts so i think this is correct??

Any advice on getting the 16 pipelines would be great
Thanks

Yap, it is moddable, dump your bios whit atitool and post it.

[andyman5002]

Ok ive just removed the heatsink and fan off my GTO2 and its definatly a R430, shame. I have got the latest ATI Tool the beta and the BIOS dump is disabled, its greyed out???. I have tried the latest stable release as wel, its the same?

Any ideas guys?
Thanks for your help and quick reply
Andy

[andyman5002]

any ideas guys???

[infrared]

hmm, strange. Prepare an ms-dos bootdisk with atiflash 3.09 on it, and boot from that, as if you were going to flash, then save the bios using this command:

atiflash -s 0 bios.bin

once you have it post it as an attachment in a zip file, and i'll modify it for you ;)

[andyman5002]

ok will do once my download is finished, could it have anything to do with Windows XP x64??
Thanks Andy

[andyman5002]

ok mangaged to get it on disk, heres the BIOS file.

Thanks for all your help Andy

Hi Nella. Seems like yours can be unlocked to 12 pipelines at least, just wait for someone to modify your bios. I have the same card as you, refer to my post on http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=5367&page=149

Anyway, mine is still 8 pipelines after bios flashing. Now waiting to connect the bridge, will post the result soon.

[Lacos]

Hi all.
I got an Powercolor X800 GTO 256MB [475Core,450Mem] (AGP) fewer days ago and now i want try to flash it.

Device ID: 4A49
Chip name: R420

My Fuses are :
CONFIG_DIE_FUSES : 0xEFF2EFFF
CONFIG_SUBSTRATE_FUSES : 0xFFFFFF1E

Memory is from Hynix (Hynix KOR HY5RS573225 FP-2 543A)
Is this 2 ns or 1.6 ns?

I haven' found any BIOS which would fit to my card, everywhere you only find BIOS Files for Samsung Memory, not Hynix..

How many chances do i have to get the 16 Pipes? -I read it is possible to Hardmod (Lasercut) and then see if the fuses change to F. Is that right?
Can anybody help and explain everything to a real noob?

Thx you very much,
Lacos

[alexwsk]

Alexwsk, here you are modded to 12 pipes BIOS. Use the modified flashrom which could be downloaded from here: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/100
Use the following command line: flashrom -f -p 0 X800SE12.bin

If you still have 8 pipes after the flashing you have to remove the cooler and to locate the bridge area. After that you have to connect the right bridge. (In the above link you can see the left bridge laser cutted but on your core it should be the right or both). 12 pipes will be obtained with connection of the right bridge and if the left is cutted you can connect it also. If the left bridge is originaly cutted and you connect it (also the right) take the fuses again and post them (after the connection).

Hi dolf, just flashing the bios didn't unlock any pipelines. The only difference is CONFIG_ROM_FUSES changed to 0xA861.

After that, I asked my friend to connect the right bridge for me (there's no laser cutted for left bridge). He is an electronics technician, so he soldered the right bridge for me. Now, I only have 4 active pipelines left :eek: . What has happenned? The fuses did changed to as below.

http://img.techpowerup.org/060426/3.jpg

I've tried uninstalled all ATI related drivers/catalyst/ATITool and reinstall it, but it's still the same, only 4 active pipelines left. What else can I do now? Should I reflash the bios with the original or modified version or should I remove the solder? Thx

Check the performance and see if it is any different.

[alexwsk]

Hi ShadowFlare. I've checked using 3DMark05, the performance has dropped from previous 3943 to 2793 (both with overclocked). The GPU idle temperature has also dropped from 48C to 43C. So, what to do now?

Seems about what I would expect with 4 pipelines... I tried it once by modifying my bios to make it use only 4.

Hello,
I'm running a Sapphire X800 GTO AGP which runs the R420 Chipset and I'm really unsure whether or not there's anything I can do to increase the performance of my card. Right now it appears as though I'm running on 8 pipelines, is it possible for me to unlock more? I really appreciate it if anyone would give me a hand and if there is anymore information I need to provide let me know.

Sapphire X800 GTO AGP

Chip Type R420

Config_die_fuses 0xEFF36FFF

Alexwsk your card shows very interesting result. For the first time I see C in the end of substrate fuses after the bridge connection. Obviously configuration of the 9 bridges (on the back side of the core) is different and connecting the right bridge results in locking of a quad. You have to remove the bridge (on the right) and to check the number ot the pipes. If everything is OK (8 pipes) come back with that news on the forum.
I have "crazy idea" and you have right to disagree with me. If connected bridge means less pipes why don't you try to cut the left bridge and to see what will happen with the registers (fuses). If that operation is not successful you can reconnect the bridge. First remove the right to be sure that the card works normally (no need to reflash the BIOS).

[alexwsk]

Hi dolf. My friend soldered across the laser cutted (1 straight line connecting the 2 dots and also laser cutted). Is this what caused the problem? I will remove the solder and see whether it goes back to normal. Btw, I've created a new thread for this, http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=11268

[dolf]

I don't believe that this is the problem but who knows. Remove the solder and see what will happen. Filling the laser cut could cause problems (short circuit to GND for instance) because these bridges are used to supply 3.3V from the motherboard to the core (power managing cirquits).

[alexwsk]

Hi dolf, I've removed the solder but the fuses data still remain unchange (same like having solder). Guess I'm dead for now :banghead:

I'll try to get hold of some conductive paint and then reconnect the bridge without touching the laser cut. Hope that'll solve the problem. Will update once I've done so.

[dolf]

Try to flash the original BIOS because I think that it also can be important.

[nella]

could someone please modify my bios so i could try with the same card x800se and possibly give a little on the easiest way to flash the new bios
greig_allen@hotmail.com

[alexwsk]

Try to flash the original BIOS because I think that it also can be important.

Already did that,
Active Pipelines remained at 4
CONFIG_ROM_FUSES changed back to 0xA862
but CONFIG_SUBSTRATE_FUSES remained at 0xFFFFF61C and
GB_PIPE_SELECT remained at 0x10100

Hope this is not permanent. Will go and look for the conductive paint (damn, it's so hard to find one here in Malaysia).

Hi all!

I got an Sapphire X800GTO AGP 256MB/256bit (12 pipes) fewer days ago. I want try to unlock 4 extra pipes. Memory is from Samsung - 2ns.

How many chances do i have to get the 16 pipes?

Thx you very much!

With the current fuses no more pipes are possible. There is minimal chance if you connect the (left) bridge. If you conduct that take and post the fuses again (after the hardmod).

Good luck

Obviously you haven't connected the bridge successfully because your Conf._Substrate_Fuses should end with F after connection ;) . You have to clean the dots befor connecting (until shiny copper).

You can flash it, but it will not unlock the remaining 4 pipes.
You can see if the chip has lasercut....

I don't believe that this is the problem but who knows. Remove the solder and see what will happen. Filling the laser cut could cause problems (short circuit to GND for instance) because these bridges are used to supply 3.3V from the motherboard to the core (power managing cirquits).

I've cleaned the solder totally. Now I can't even see the 2 copper dots and laser cutted. Am I permanently screwed? The GPU picture can be found at http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=11268

[dolf]

Are your fuses changed after removing of the solder? (The solder should not connect the big dot in the middle of the bridges with one of them!!!)

The fuses remained the same after removing the solder, still 4 pipelines. I unsoldered it, but not sure whether there's totally no solder left at all. Will check again to make sure.

please check my bios..is this my card modable?

Can my card be unlocked to 16 pipes? sapphire x800gto. included is my atitool screenshot and my bios dump

yes jrljj, i have them same fuses, use this bios to flash it. How well does your card overclock? I can only get 460/540 with stock cooler. I will have a AC silencer tomorrow. :rockout:

havnt really messed with the clocking yet. just now got it installed. did click find max memory on atitool and it was on 570 before i clicked abort.

Post the fuses not the BIOS.

[alexwsk]

Are your fuses changed after removing of the solder? (The solder should not connect the big dot in the middle of the bridges with one of them!!!)

How to make sure that all the solder are completedly removed? With my rough eye, I don't see any solder connecting any of the dots.

Btw, I would like to clarify that the 2 right hand side dots and the laser cutted were scrapped off/scratched off in one straight line, from where the first dot supposed to be until where the second dot supposed to be (together with the laser cutted in the middle). So, if there's no more dots and laser cutted, how to connect it?

Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks.

[Factorxfiles]

I've got a sapphire x800 GT. I wasn't going to mess with this card too bad, but the thought of getting four more pipes is too tempting. I don't want to do any hard mods, but I want to know if I can get 12 with just a bios flash. (my max OC is 530 core and 560 mem)

Hi guys. Posted here a little while ago. My image of ATI Tool seems to tell me I can't flash my card, but what about the cut on the chip itself? Here's a picture.

No, just download my file, unpack it. Burn the iso image (using "burn image option") on CD or CD-RW.
Adjust your first boot device to be CD-ROM and boot from the already burned CD (my CD). After that just choose desired option and press "enter" of course ;) .

Post your fuses and your BIOS. Also tell me the PCB Part Number of your card (top front side of the catd) something like that: PN 109-A475xx-xx.

Fuses:

Config_DIE_Fuses: OxEFF3EFFF

2 E => Maybe it works

I don´s know what information you need about the BIOS. Can you download it and get the informations you need?

It should be a VIVO version (looking the PCB PN)? Also it is pure X850 PCB with (R420 chip installed). Unfortunately the fuses show that the core is locked and no more pipes are possible for you :mad: .

I don't understand German and can't comment the link. Your card has X850 PCB without VIVO (OK).
If you consider that I am wrong telling your card isn't modable - here you are BIOS which will work with 16 pipes in principle but on your card I am not convinced. But you obliged at minimum to try (who am I to tell you that the card is not modable ;) ).

For more working BIOSes you have to try some for Samsung. Use RamBios 1.5. If you wonder what is this??? Than search the forum.

Good luck

I have just modded your original BIOS to 16 pipes. If you want to try BIOSes for Samsung do the same thing with them. Your fuses tell that you will remain with 12 pipes but you can want to have 12 pipe XT (XT PE). Try with X800XT or XT PE BIOS and if it works with RamBios you can flash and test how it is working.

[-masc-]

I have just modded your original BIOS to 16 pipes.

That´s perfect! :toast: How did you do that? I searched a long time for a program to mod my BIOS to 16 Pipes. Which programm did you use?


Your fuses tell that you will remain with 12 pipes

No. :D Maybe I can be in luck and the ATI Tool detects the lasercut as DIE cut. So i have to do the lasercutmod and i will see. :cool:

This says the big german Forum "Hardwareluxx". Somebody had 3 Cards with the same fuses like my card has. 2 cards now run with 16 pipes! So, maybe it works.

[dolf]

The number of the active pipes could be changed manually in hex editor.
Do the laser cut mod and inform us for the result. But most probably nothing will happen. Even that you have small chance and it is better to try.

Good luck

Nope, no chances of unlocking any at all. First of all, your CONFIG_ROM_FUSES value is ending in zero, which means that you have no pipelines locked in the card's bios software. Second, your card has an R480 chip, which is known to not have laser cuts (well, at least on an accessible side).

[peterxy]

ShadowFlare, thank you for laying down the hard truth on me - I was afraid that was going to be the answer! :cry:

I'll take off the fan to see whether it is indeed laser cut. ...In case it is - do you have any info on how frequently the hard mod works? Is there anything I can irreversibly damage that way?

Mate of mine is a hardcore engineer sohe should have no prob fusing the contacts together - my only worry is: does it work at all and can I screw somethingup real badly? Can't afford to buy a new card at the moment if I burn this one. I do have an old PCI though if bios would have to be restored.

Any advice much appreciated! :)

As I was saying, since it is R480 there isn't anything like that to do with it. So unless you are taking off the cooler for some other reason, like using different thermal compound or a different heatsink/fan then just don't take it off.

No more pipes with these fuses :mad: . Almost zero chance if hardmod is done on left bridge but chance.

If you dismantle the fan you won't find any laser cut/s. Unfortunately nothyng to mod in meaning more pipes :mad: .

[FinCoder]

Rabit is going to support changing the value of the certain offset that determines how many pipes you have in use. I was in contact with him with that issue.

I have CLUB x800 RX non-VIVO with 12 pipes (default). I have been trying to mod it to 16pipes, no succes. But this card overclocks quite well without mods.

Config_die_fuses:0xEFF3DFFF
Config_Substrate_fuses:FFFFFF1E
Config_rom_fuses:0x1021 (at the moment, but it has been something else too...)

I know i have one lasercut...i tried to connect it. What is the best way of doing it? Tried pencil and silver (do not know the word, what you add on top of CPU)

[-masc-]

@ dolf


I made the soft-and hardmod, but i´ve only 12 pipes. :ohwell:

U´re sure, that the BIOS is modded correct? ;)

[FinCoder]

I used the modified version (1.6)...

flashrom -f -p 0 newbiosname.xxx

Ati tool has reported "Config_rom_fuses:", value the last digit has been 0. Now it's 1 again.

I reflashed the bios again. Took the card's bios and edited the speeds of GPU and memory. Now the "Config_rom_fuses" value is :0x8021.

What does it mean? Other than 1 indigates = 12pipes.

[BigErn314]

So does anyone know if the Sapphire X800GTO AGP 256MB are all unlockable, lockable, hit or miss? Looking at picking one up for about 130 bucks and if it can be fixed to 16 pipes I'd be a happy camper.


Thanks.

EDIT: Looking over the posts it appears to be hit or miss. Some can and some can't. Oh well throw the dice I guess.

I think what i might do instead is wait out until i have enough money to buy myself a radeon x1900gt. Don't want to screw up my card when i cant replace it :P. I dont think oblivion would like a 4 pipeline card very much

[BigErn314]

Is there anywhere to see benchmarks for them unlocked vs locked? I'm trying to guage what level of increase this card would be over a 6600GT AGP, with 12 or 16 pipes.

[kouz-one]

personally with a x800gto, a little overclock @ 450/550 and the 16 pipes unlocked , I had gain a little more than 1000 points at 3dm05, and this card is more like a 6800gt, 6600gt looks more like a 9800xt

Yes :rockout: you are lucky...... post your bios to mod it.

[johnmuffins]

Thanks in advance.

1. I wanted to know how many more pipes i can unlock?

2. Also if anyway I could solder an external power connector for my x800gt.

Model:
Sapphire x800gt 256mb pci-e (red pcb)

Chip Markings: X800GT
215RBMAGA12F
GG3819.1
0531SS
I clearly see a thin line (laser cut?) between the dots at the right corner of the chip.

I am also attaching a copy of my bios.

thanks again.

Hey guys, I was also wondering whether I could get the extra pipelines.

[infrared]

Yep, looks good, If you could post your email address, dolf can send you his cd image... a nifty automated flashing tool :D

[DirtyMetis]

My thanks to dolf (and tool483 for sending it my way) for his slick .ISO image, worked like a charm. Unlocked to 16 pipes and 420/525 without a hiccup.

Was a bit miffed, however, when I went to plug in the card with my newly attached Silencer 5.2 and found an accursed oversized and misplaced transistor on mobo that wouldn't allow for that setup. :mad:

Dug out the Artic Silver 5 and slapped the factory heatsink unit back on. UL'd and OC'd card scored me a 1713 in 3DMark06.

Was a bit disappointed with the results, thought it would be a good deal higher than my 6800nu but only a 17 point difference. Any insight?

[kouz-one]

dirtymetis and pi2, you are lucky, your cards can be unlock I think ;)
johnmuffins I don't think that yours can be unfortunately

that's normal cause x800series has the power but not the latest graphics technologies like sm3,etc... and 3dmark06 depends much more of your entire system, i do approximatively same score than you with a 2.8 prescott @3.1, x800gto @435/535/16pp and 2x1go ddr

Hey guys, well done to Dolf and everyone else for sharing their knowledge, enabling us all to be better off. :)


All i need, if anybody here would be kind enough to help me, is that ISO image that's been going around here. The card I have is the right one, the fuse data all corresponds.

Wanted to do it now, but after buying a pack of ten floppies, after first finding somebody who actually still sells them, it seems it's my floppy drive that's knackered. :rolleyes:

That's the first time it's ever been the drive itself. Anyway, this means I'll hafta do it on a bootable CD, which I'd prefer.

So would anyone be kind enough to e-mail me Dolf's bootable ISO? My e-mail is hpm@inbox.com

The card is a Sapphire X800GTO 256 AGP. Just a 16-pipe BIOS would be ace.


Thanks in advance!

Hey, I have a GeCube x800GT, PCI-E with 256mb

http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/8374/gfxoverview0po.gif

Can i unlock it?

But first i am a total noob to all this so what exactly does reconnect a lasercut involve, i presume its something on my gpu, and what would i use to recconect it?
And finally, will it decrease the life of my gfx card or increase the temperature at all?

Thanx alot for your help,
VERY much appreciated :o

Mine's now modded to 16 pipes, cheers to the guys on this site. :)

Would still like a copy of the CD bootable flash stuff though if nyone has the time...

And to the poster above, I'd guess that with those fuse values the card cannot be modded, but you'd have to wait for an answer from these guys here to be sure.

The fuse data looks good for flashing. To check the number of pipelines, scroll up a bit in atitool, where you took the SS, and you will see it. :)

Go ahead and post your bios, and someone will modify it for you, or you can contact dolf and he'll send you his automated flash cd image for you to burn.

Specifications :

it's a R430 GPU according to ati tool
I still havent tried to really overclock the card, but she seems to have a good potiential of overclocking. I'm actually with 400/1000 and there's an overclock tool provided with the card call TriXX... It allows the increasing of frequencies until a limit Temp, havent really tried yet.

Btw, how do I know how much pipelines are really activated ?
