I just flashed my Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128 to XT today and everything went perfect. I brought up ATI tool and turned on temp sensing. It is recording at around 60c almost all the time except every once in a while when it drops to 20c and sits there for a while. I checked my card and it is identical to a pic I found of a Sapphire 9800 128 I saw that was labled as being an XT pcb on http://www.rojakpot.com/default.aspx?location=3&var1=92&var2=2 I have the one labled Radeon 9800 Pro with R360 core, 8x32MB DDR memory. Everything on my card matches this one except the cooler. It should have a probe but the temps just dont sound like they're accurate. They range from 59-66, I figure there should be alot more slack between full load and idle, and the sudden drops to 20c for no apperant reason. Anyone know why this is?

Also, when I flashed I didnt get the overdrive tab unlocked. I used BIOS that were marked as original Sapphire 128 XT BIOS, shouldnt that do it or do I have to reinstall Catalyst
