ASUS AX800Pro TVD VIVO @ £255.00 +VAT & Del (£299 ish)

The cooling on this card is far superior to stock X800's as ASUS have added a larger fan which covers the RAM too, you also get a nice groove blue LED too!;)
In every respect, the PRO is identical to the XT PE build wise, it seem to just be the BIOS that varies.
No back to the modding...
Kind of all went wrong last night. Everything was running great, ATI tool was giving correct readings, hardware manager recognised it fine and the ATI CP was ok.
Temp was running at 42(celcius) and all was ready for a quick slaying in Doom3... then something odd happened..
(Using Cat 8.07/4.11 Beta's)
Doom3 Load screen OK
Doom3 Game menu... Screen goes black, little flicker of Blue lines, screen comes back, PC locks, Screen goes black again, Card fails and have to reboot. Not too chuffed.
Looks like I need to check the voltages between the two cards as i have a feeling the PRO is 1.3v and the XT PE 1.4v, if so, I'll have to perform a hard mod and amed the voltage! (Pencil and nail varnish anyone?)
Little dissapointed. Going to have to do a little more research. May just be a case of having to under clock the GPU a little for stability. Just a bit wary about frying the card!
Anyway... back to the drawing board (or in this case X800Pro with 16 Pipes)
And do you need any extra cooling or anything?
