BIOS flash kills fan... - 2005/05/07 22:09
Man... And just this morning I cleaned the ram/GPU, put on Arctic Silver, idle went from 45°C to 42°C on my Radeon X850 Pro running solid at 600/1200MHz and then my greed for speed led me to see that I had never applied the "-newbios" parameter in attempting to unlock the last pipe quad by flashing to a different BIOS.
After reboot I saw 105°C, shutdown, and eventually found that the fan is not working at all. Currently I have a YS Tech 60mm dangling above the card which keeps it at 51°C and does allow me to play.
I've tried flashing back to the original BIOS, both with and without the "-newbios" param, but it's no go, so, since it's already hosed, I flashed to the ATI X850 XT PE BIOS since the card can handle it.
Guess it's time to think about a custom fan/heatsink solution unless someone here can help.
Me and hardware, I just have to tweak it I guess!
