Radeon 9800 Pro 256: Adding the LM63 Chip - Page 4

I'm wondering if he got electrocuted or something.

Though, his idea is incredibly original and daring.

I hope you're still at it!!!

I hope he is to, as the info is golden if successful.

Wow last time i wrote was winter break last year? Wow... it really HAS been a long time. Ironically the person who restarted this thread posted on my birthday!

Okay well i'll do the write up sometime but i did get the tempature monitoring to work on Radeon 9800 Pro 256s with non-XT PCBs. Destroyed a card in the process and 2 of the three LM63 chips but eventually got it to work in ATITool with tempature monitoring, although i never got OverDrive to work, though that point is kind of moot isnt it?

Ill do a full write up and explaination (since i did most of the work over the summer). Its kind of late now that the 9X00 series cards are being outdone by X8X0 cards (i even have X850XTPE).

Edit: i had to make a new account cause the one i posted under password doesnt reset. And the email account i used to register stopped working. Maybe an admin could help me out?

Hope some will benifit from the information soon!

One more edit: I forgot i even did this but i was able to get fan control of the card via ATI tool. This too was done by the LM63 chip. I came to really apperciate that wounderufl little thing cause it did so much (monitor 2 tempatures and fan control/adjustment).

Woohoo the thread lives again.
I cant even get overdrive to work right on a xt board that had the lm63 chip and the r360 core, just temp and fanspeed control.

Really? I had a 9800 Pro 256 with an XT board that when flashed gave me overdrive... I have a feeling there is something else that needs to be done to getoverdrive engaged... Oh well, again it doesnt do much. 5% overclock which you can do far better on your own. Besides, i am not 100% sure on the accuracy of the fan control and tempature readout (although they seemed very accurate to me).

Edit: Since i dont have the 9800 Pro that i did the experiment on, could someone provide a high resolution scan of the front of a 9800 Pro 256 and the back of it? Must be the 16 chip version. Does ARP have something in archive? The ones i have are really messed up from all the work and trace-rerouting.

I have the 128 xt board card, Overdrive is there but it never kicks on, just drops my cards clock down when I turn it on. (off I'm at 412, on I'm at 399)
