WOOOHOOO!!!!!!

The card was saved and it's in perfect working order!! Everything is as it was!!

Viper John is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I will for sure have something above the card now...I was a jackass for taking a chance once.

:)

I sure hope others with the same prob I had have been reading these threads....they now know there is chance to have a card revived.
 
2fresh, your rig is insane, I am jealous.

Anyway, same question as Cleanslate, what happened and what did he do to fix it?
 
You mentioned before that someone else had a similar problem to yours and after Viper John gave it a "blow job" it was all better... was this the case with yours? :D

2Fresh is the X800XT/PE stable enough to play games ?

Yeah, it can actually run a bit higher when playing games, the score in my sig is what 3DMark05 is stable at.


And yes, the card is actually baked. I thought that was strange as hell, too.
 
dude, glad your card works now, must have been those mineral-deposit looking areas, perhaps something was slightly conductive.....
 
There is always something called rma.... ati is really good about it.

Um no, there is no way ATI would accept that card.
Viper John put more than $200.00 worth of changes on that card.

Dont say the R-word unless youve seen pictures of his card. It has more heatsinks and fans than your whole computer.
 
Thanks =)

And yes, the card can be rmad.VJ can remove all of the mods, he tells you this before he does them ;)........BUT, I would not take that road..it was my dumb ass fault :p
 
Hahaha. Give him a break, he's new.

But yeah, Homer, people tend to only try to RMA things that haven't been "modified";

1. Because it's unethical to do so, since most RMA policies only include stock cards, which technically also means you can't overclock it (but that's subject to opinion), and
2. Because people who've heavily modified (or had their cards heavily modified by other people) their cards stand to lose money by getting a stock card in exchange for a card that has as many mods on it as 2fresh's.

Besides, 2fresh's card wouldn't have exactly made it by ATI's people as being stock...with the number of mods he has on it, he may as well have slapped a bigass "Type R" sticker on it.

LOL...type-R...those ricer douches make me laugh
 
Psh, what ever doods. I see where your coming from (I havent seen the card before) so I didnt know that it had that much shit attached to it. However my card I rma'ed was pretty much fried like cause it started on fire and I dont know, it was probably cuz I overclocked it like a mofo, but they still took it back just fine. LOL plus, just thought of this, if I had a bfg, they come overclocked, and bfg actually encourages overclocking, then it would have been fine too lol im sure they see alot of totally smoked cards.
