Asus sent me the same and then shortly after I received one from Newegg. I was able to get mine from the latter in overnight!

I have had nothing but trouble with this board as well. I had to RMA 2 of these boards and my third is already a HUGE issue. All have been defective in one or more ways. The first one I was able to get a replacement in the week I owned it; the second wasn?t so easy. The one I have now, I can?t...

Thank you everyone for all your help. And more importantly, thank you MegaWorks. This thread is a wealth of information for those who are about to delve in. Good luck all. G

Ladies, Gentleman. I tooled around withe the Sapphire X800 Pro Vivo for a while - even had a scare there once when OC the card. Using Gigabyte's I was able to get my 16 pipes right off. Stock fan/cooler and the PE bios, I would get black screens/errors after several minutes of either the...

I still cannot understand why it would not work. I will have to try it anyway.

Yeah, thanks Mega Works. Tell me IYHO, why did you choose Gigabytes over the other mods? I am a little nervous about having the irreversible pipes from what I have read in other posts. One would think that having the 16 vs 12 is a good thing. But if somethign goes wrong, one can't go...

Nope. I correclty used the flashrom technique by W1zzard to avoid Gigabytes irreversible 16 pipes, but to no avail. I attempted this with 3 different x800XTPE bin. I am not sure why this is not working and I am stuck at 12 pipelines. I have 1.6 Samsung. The card is VIVO. I do have 520 and...

OOps. Got the other BIOS link. I will have to try it and repost. And yes, I have the 1.6 samsung ram.

Which BIOS Mod did you use Mega? Because I succesfully OCd my Sapphire Vivo using the Tech Power Up Sapphire X800XT PE Bios but only got the 12 pipes open according to ATI Tool 0.0.22. Am I missing somethign here? Do I need to reinstall any Catalyst Drivers?

Thank you Gents for your assistance. BUT, I ended up pulling the system out because my Realtek AC'97 audio Microphone did not work. After attempting to fix thie error and then finally speaking with MSI tech support, I have to RMA the board. So there is a good chance that there is more going...

That is also with the Raptor on CH03 BTW,

Zambien, Can you (or anyone for that matter) cross reference your your bios settings with mine? I have not had as much success as everyone else. As a matter of fact, and quite peculiar, my system gets a hard drive error after updating DMI pool data if I OC the FSB beyond 220. If I play...
