It just won't die!

ROFL. No, no I am not going to RMA it. My parents know I am trying to kill it because I told them I am trying to kill it with no physical damage. They know its dying and they know its becuase I didn't fuck with it. The only shit i've done to the card before this was remove heatsinks and replace heatsinks, simple work.

Simply snapping the card is too easy, so I am trying to find a funner way to kill it. There is no way AS5 is a conductor. I've got it across diodes and such and nothing is happening.

And boo hoo on you. Are you mad just becuase my parents will still buy me shit =), awwww, muffin.

If your mommy knows that you are trying to shorten its death, why do you claim that you can't have any physical damage on the card? There's a few things I can think of:

1. You're full of shit and are trying to RMA the card hence the reason you don't want physical damage to appear.

2. You're a jerk-off looking for attention.

3. All of the above.

Thats too obvious. Note, I can't let my mom see any physical damage, lol. She said she'll pay for a new graphics card if I pay half, but its gotta be natural or non-physical. As long as she can't see, i'm good.

This guy is full of shit, he's trying to kill the card to RMA it.

You are seriously full of shit. So, they wont buy your new card if you give it physical damage, but if you kill it electrically, they will buy you a new card? We know you're going to RMA it, guy. You're a total douche bottle.

Asking for advice to break a card for an RMA should be IP bannable.

Don't sweat the little kids posting their bullshit. They're probably just jealous that your killing a 9800XT cause they still game on an old mx440, or fx5200 or some other pure shit card. I say have fun with it. And pictures of teh aftermath would be groovy.

Probably like the majority on this forum, I am in my 30's, have my own house, a college degree and a job. So I think the only little kids are you and your buddy that is trying to destroy something he didn't pay for. If he did he would have more respect for it.
 
Send me the card. I will prove to everyone that you are full of shit that the card is a 100% fully working or b you don't even have one. Seriously. I will send it back at my cost back to you once I prove there is absolutly nothing wrong with the card and its just you. PM me if you are interested.

I'd have a college degree if I was older than 17, hah. But, I worked to earn the money for the system I have in my sig. Every last dollar I've spent on it I've earned through work. When you work for something, you really appreciate it more. If you're just a worthless garbaged brained moron like the person that posted this thread, then you just care about yourself at the expense of all around you and can't appreciate a work of art such as a 9800XT.

SO SORRY YOUR 9800XT DOESNT OVERCLOCK AS HIGH AS YOU WANT IT TO, KRAKENGUY

That is smartest thing I have read in this post...Well no, I take that back. It was the second. This is # 1"You're a total douche bottle."
 
Just mail it to someone who wants it. It'll make some of the people on here very happy and that should redeem the cards apparently shitty past.
 
Wow, i've violated my warranty, i'm not going to RMA it. For fuck sakes, I know god damn well that i've fucked my warranty, I am not going to abide the rules and RMA it, its not fair.

I give up, fuck you all. This isn't even a suggestion thread on how to kill it anymore, its more like a "Flame KrakenGuy because his parents have more money then you" thread. I'm not even gonna bother trying to kill it anymore because no ones being any help here.
 
I feel for you man. I believe that you have a malfunctioning card that your parents are aware of and who are willing to pay half the cost of a new card to replace it. Hence your question about creative ways to 'off' your already crippled card.

/ignore the trolls looking for a fight

Actually you're being flamed because you seem to find deception and immaturity to be positive personality qualities to flaunt. I don't give a damn how much money your parents make, I just think it's sad that you want to lie to them after they try to do something this nice for you.

Funniest thing in this thread! Your parents have more money then me or anyone else here? What are u basing this off of?

The reason you are getting flamed is because you don't seem like you hurt your card any at all. Looking at this picture it looks just fine: http://1stclasspcs.com/uploaded/Invincible.JPG

I as many other on here call bs to your story.
 
NO SHIT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE I HURT IT. Fuck, want me to put a few screws on it and take a picture? Fine, then i'll do that for your likings, jesus christ.

I am going for NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE. Its more of an experiment to kill this graphics card WITHOUT FORCE. Holy fuck people.

Want to kill it? Put in the microwave for about 3-6 seconds and then pull it out. There will be no physical damage to be seen and at the same time the entire circuit will be fried throughout the entire board.
 
Happy yet?

Ooooooh, see? Theres a screw right over the GPU. See it? Cause I sure do, for your information yes it did shock and yes it still works? Want more proof? I'll make a video of things getting shocked and shit, and then you'll see this card won't die from common misconception.

Without force? what. You cant do anything to it without force. It's not physically possible. Do you know at all what you're talking about? Are you trying to cause chemical damage to it?
 
switch the wires on the molex. if that doesn't kill something, take off the heatsink and turn on the computer. that'll do something ;)
 
Switching wires on a molex only causes the computer to shut off. Its like screwing up a 7 volt mod on a fan, instead of the fan being permafucked, the PSU just shuts off until the problem is fixed.

If you read my first post, I pretty much played CS for a few hours without a heatsink, its why I bought the zalman.

lololol, I have no hard drive magnets. I used to have one, but I threw it out.
 
just be careful that you dont screw the rest of your computer trying to impress some of these people.

I already suggested that.
Honestly, I could care less why you are asking for help killing your card. Your card, your money, your problem. Parts are already marked up to ridiculous levels, so one more RMA or one less RMA won't affect my wallet anytime soon. (And I know this sounds like I believe you'll RMA it, but I just couldn't think of any other way to phrase it. Sorry!)

Edit/afterthought:
To some extent, I can even justify (again, to a limited extent) exchanging a GOOD, HIGH-END card because it doesn't OC for shit. Cards like the Radeon 9700 Pro were actually intended to be OC/enthusiast cards, since the other R300 derivatives all had BIOSes that prevented them from being boosted. Same thing holds true for 9800 derivatives, though without the BIOS-lock (IIRC). There were no games where the extra power of a 97Pro saved it, where the vanilla 9700 fell short. In fact, even a 9500/Pro would probably have sufficed in its day- it STILL matched/beat a GF4Ti!

To clarify: if all you want is good framerates, get yourself a 6600GT. The majority of people wouldn't even UNDERSTAND the difference between this and any 6800-class card, let alone notice it. There is some understanding that the people who buy $400+ cards WILL try to overclock them- not because they have to, but because it comes with the territory. This was even MORE true with 9800 vs. Pro vs XT, since they were all separated by only a few MHz.

After all, you don't buy a Ferrari as a daily driver- you put it in your garage, and polish it, and show it off! It's NOT a commuter car.
 
so tell me again why you wont just flash it with the wrong BIOS?? That was like the second or third thing suggested and would definitely render the card useless without any physical damage. Now go do that, whine to your parents, and take your spoiled foul-mouthed self off this thread, bye.
 
Will flashing with the wrong bios really screw it? As in to the point where it won't turn on?
 
KrakenGuy you are a spoiled kid go whine to your mommy that we won't help you kill your 9800 XT. I have a better idea than that hope a lightning surge kill's your whole computer and your 9800 XT. THEN LETS SEE HOW HIGH YOUR HEAD HANGS AND HOW MUCH YOU WILL MISS THAT VIDEO CARD YOU ONCE HATED! :eek:
LOSER!

Yeah thats no good.

You could alter the clock speeds in the bios and WAY overclock it. Run a bench and watch it melt. lol
 
Good morning to you too sir. Sadly its winter here, so there is no hope for lightning, good suggestion though.

Thundersnow? No, honestly i've never heard of that before. I really hope your being sarcastic cause then I sound kind of dumb because I think I believe you.

amazing how you and some of these other people are coming off as almost more of a jerk than he is....sheesh some people just need to chill.
 
I like how they say I am immature, when they are just as immature as accusing me of "Being a little kid" and such. I've never seen Thundersnow around my area before, so that option is left out.

Will a bios flash render the card useless?

No, You sounded just as dumb before you posted that.
 
Flash it with a blank bios. I promise it won't work and no actual harm to the card will be done.

But here is a hot tip for ya. If you flash it with a bad bios ATI will know if you try to RMA it.
 
ATI find out and that cause bad things happen and all is happy :D but you sad :( ! LOL

THE POINT OF THIS IS NOT TO RMA!! (supposedly)

and for the last time...flash the wrong bios, the card wont work, go ahead and try it. If the card still works then we can all console ourselves in the fact that there is a god somewhere and he has finally decided to do something good.
 
yea right.. LOL. If the flash goes bad. Its end of story for the card unless you either do a blind flash or use a PCI card as a secondary card.
