the bios in this case has nothing to do with memories only that the 1,6ns bios has boost up clocks ;the base 2.0 has 490 up to 530 multiple of 2 ; (I have 2.0ns Samsung memories and I use a 1.6 ns bios from ShadowFlare ). The only Downfall of 2.0 memories is that they cannot achieve higher frequencies than 1.6 ns memories.T-800 said:hmm but i use already ure mod bios with 1,6 ns the bios X800 xt use this with 1,6 ns or 2,0 ns

That's weird, the one with the red heatsink (the extreme edition) is supposed to only have 1.6 ns memory chips. I guess they kind of ripped you off on that one...T-800 said:hi dud´s my RED powercolor have 2 diffrent memory chips the fan side i got 1,6 ns mem BGA chips and the otherside 2,0 ns chips
now what i have now ??

Post your bios, please.T-800 said:hi shadowflare i read this. that card i have !!
Power for the X800 GT Xtreme is provided by ATI's R480 chipset running at 500MHz. This is 25MHz faster than the standard X800 GT. The Xtreme achieves this higher core speed with a better cooling solution. The normal X800 GT use 256 Meg of 2ns GDDR3 memory running at 980MHz. The Xtreme version use 1.6ns memory running at 1050MHz. All together, it adds up to a faster video card for just a few dollars more."
dolf said:Your fuses definitely show that you can't have 16 pipes but for 12 I consider that you must try . Please see what is your core R423, R430 or R480.

dolf said:Guys THE FUSE research have to be conducted first. They (fuses) definitely shows whether is possible to have 12 or 16 pipes depending on the core type R420, 423, 430, 480. Unfortunately all my efforts to find alternative hardmod method were useless and I have to say that there is no way to unlock even 12 pipes on R430, R480 with originally 8 pipes.
For R423, R420 there is chance to have 12 pipes. I will comment only these cores with originally 8 pipes.
SMJ-G you have chance for 12 pipes. You have to remove the cooler and to connect the RIGHT bridge. After that to flash 12 pipe BIOS using MODIFIED flashrom and to check again the number of pipes. Please conduct the fuse research before and after hardmod and post both results.
