Reminds me of the 2900xt i bought... It's a winner, but smelled like maple syrup when I unpacked it... :laughing:

DOM 08-22-2010 06:40 AM

i cleaned them with alcohol they still smell but not as bad, but im not a smoker and hate the way they smell, it makes my tummy hurt :laughing:

okay i looked but didnt find any volt mods on the msi cards :wtfsign:

FACE 08-22-2010 09:25 AM

Are they non-reference? Typically the 9800gt mods are pretty much the same as teh 8800gt... non reference will ahve to mapped out by our mod guru's...

Get a few good pics of the controller chips and create a thread in the volt mod section. Someone will know where the data sheet is and how to read it. :thumbsup:

I finally got a little bench time and pulled a decent '03 .... after failing miserably at Vantage.

Looks like my "cherry" card isn't so cherry these days, but still managed 1220 core.

FACE 08-25-2010 07:09 PM

Right on, man. I'm glad to see you back at it! :thumbsup:

1200 core is still pretty damned awesome... You just gotta shake the dust off and you'll get back up to where you were ;)

I had a fail session tonight. Only ended up with 1 sub for 5 whole boints. :blush:
Tomorrow's another day.

Lotta extreme guys are saying its the bomb, but seeing as I don't trust alot of people, I dunno, specs look good and I think Johnny Guru tested it already.

Yeah this is how it goes sometimes! It happened to me last week. I was ready to pull some 8800GT points with the 655K on board but this thing would not take any volts suddenly. RIP I guess and went back to Newegg. :blink:
