Ok just a quick recap of what happened, bought sapphire 9800 pro r360core Samsung card from Newegg, attached VGA silencer Rev 3 on it, broke off the little plastic thing that was attached to some small chip on the video card near the power plug. You can see what I’m talking about by clicking this link http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=14-102-268-05.jpg/14-102-268-03.JPG/14-102-268-02.JPG
I used AtiTool to test to see if card flashable to XT by ocing it to 412/365, got yellow artifact on screen, lowered the mem down to 360 and it ran 30mins without any prob. Some peoples suggest that with that plastic thing broke off it might be the cause of not being able to get mem to 365. The little plastic HS looking thing was glued onto the small chip, so I was thinking maybe I can reattach it but the question is what glue/material do I use for it without it interfering with heat transfer…. if there is actually any and wont short circuit the board? Any help/hint would be much appreciated…and oh yeah sorry its not a quick recap heh, here is the link to the original post if you guys want to read the whole story http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=328970 its the 2 9800pro card, 2 diff result post.
