Long time reader and poster under the name nanaki333. Can't remember my password for the life of me and it looks like the site was changed quite a bit.

Anyway, I have a Radeon 5830 that was a freebie (I would never actually buy one) that I was going to put in an E8400 machine. My question is, is there any way to unlock any of the SPs or TUs on it to make it essentially a 5850 or 5870?

Nothing came up really searching for "5830 unlock" or other similar combination, which does not give me hope. Google also doesn't seem to know the answer for me either!

They're laser cut, not just disabled. "Turning then on" isn't possible.

That is very true.
But if you happen to have a dilithium crystal enabler, it will allow you to circuvent the cut SP`s and TU`s and meld them back into interweaving promuligated diaphiliums!!

Good Luck!!
