9800np w/ infineon mem o/c (380/340) no problmes!

[hemansd]

has anyone sucessfully flashed modified 9800pro (380/325) bios to 9800 np w/ infineon memory?

i'm willing to guess no. even the 3 ns infineon dont seem to go that far but i know there is a bios for particularly infineon memory

 

[hemansd]

I installed the omega cat 3.9 drivers and were able to o/c to (380/340) w/ infineon memory. ran some games and benchmarks w/ no visible problems. I never heard of anyone w/ infineon memory that were able to get over 330, am I just lucky or is my computer fooling me.

I got the same card from CC but listen what happend to me!

The first card I got was DOA out of the box. Random reboots, artifacts all over the place, etc. I took it back to CC about a week ago and they didn't have anymore in stock so they had to order one for me. Everyday I'm looking on their website to see if they have anymore in stock anywhere in my area and calling to see if the one they ordered me arrived yet.

Well, yesterday I call and I'm put on hold for about 5 minutes while the guy is checking the computer. He comes back on and tells me that CC no longer carries that card! I head over there to see what they're going to do for me. I find a 9800 pro on the shelf and then proceed to argue with the manager of the store for 1/2 hour over whether or not they will give me the pro as a replacement. They wanted me to first pay the $100 difference, then $75 and finally I paid an extra $40 (total investment $240) for the pro. I was still pretty mad and believe that they should honor my purchase and take care of me but when I thought about it, that's a pretty good price for a 9800 pro with full warranty at CC and all.

Anyway, the card rocks.

My 9800NP can do 380 core/330 memory, so I am considering using the Infineon mod. I've heard the mod relaxes some of the memory timings, so those of us that do may be able to push the memory even further.

*crosses fingers*

I'm somewhat in the same boat. I'm at 430/333 with my 9800NP so I may try the mod too.
