I think it has 3 pins.

Yes the card has 3 pins. Looking at the top of the card, (GPU side) the fan connector has 3 pins. The wire are connected in this order. red, black, white. Take the plug of the Arctic Silencer, and positon it so that its red an black wires are only going to plug into the red and black on the card. Thats all I did. It fits without having to remove the white connector fromn the card.

yo shank do you have the 128mb card?

thx for the help

shank69xo · 10th Sep 2004, 03:51 AM

Nope I have the 256mb. But from what I can tell from the pics, they use the same connector.

Hi well i am a newbie but i have been reading up on the problem i am having and could not find a solution. So any help will be appriciated

I have a Asus 9800 PRO 256 MB with R360 core and Hynix 2.5 ns Ram. My voltage for the gpu is steady at 1.8. The AGP voltage is at 1.6. so far i have tried all ATI 9800 xt bioses and all of them give me artefacts. I tried the ones from asus website also the one listed here although the one listed here was for samsung memory but i gave it a shot any way no diffrence. I ran ati tool and no matter wot bios i use it starts to lower the clock speeds. Now i thought it might be cooling so i got 3 more fan blowing at the card plus the 2 built in ones and so the temps never increase 65 but i still get artefacts. So is my car hopeless? Or is there somethign else i can try?

I have a 2.4 Ghz p4 Oced at 3.0hz and my FSB is 1100 Mhz. My 3dmark score so far are

Stock 9800 Pro setting = 5767
ATI RADEON 9800 XT BIOS = 6589
Hercules XT BIOS = 6463

Now with the hercules bios i did have less artefacts.

Looks like your card is not capable of doing XT speed. You can either edit the BIOS to fix a lower clock speed, or use 3rd party utilities like RadLinker to downclock your card.

The guide has just been updated!

Even with the introduction of a new class of GPUs from ATI and NVIDIA, your Radeon 9800 Pro card is still something to be reckoned with! In fact, many Radeon 9800 Pro cards can be given a further boost in performance by modding them into full Radeon 9800XT cards!

Check out Chai's comprehensive guide on modding the Radeon 9800 Pro into a Radeon 9800XT! It will teach you everything you need to know about identifying moddable Radeon 9800 Pro cards, how to mod them and which BIOS to use!

Here are the updates:-

Expanded the section on how to find a moddable 256MB Radeon 9800 Pro card. (Pages 7 and 8 ).
Removed the statement about black plastic push-pins in moddable 128MB Radeon 9800 Pro cards. (Page 13).

Now there are some 128MB cards with XT PCB, that comes with temperature monitoring. Those cards are still worth modding, IMO.

is there any way to tell these cards with XT PCB?
