I've got my first two Radeon 9800XT 256MB video cards flashed and ready to ship (finally), but I've got a problem.
One card has a third party GPU cooler and memory heatsinks (this card is going to a friend of Cool_amigaN/Stefano's).
The heatsinks were attached with a self adhesive tape that isn't holding very well (they want to fall off).
Are any of you familiar with what kind of adhesives I could use to firmly reattach them?
BTW - On 9800XT and 9800Pro 256mb cards, I'd highly recommend you try a 128k (full) rom first. This has worked best on all four cards I've tried.
I used a modified 9800Pro 256mb rom (128k) on all cards and modified the GPU and memory clock speeds on the XT cards with Graphiccelerator.
Hey Bigfoot and Pega-1 - When is the R300 3D driver going to be ready?
I'm slowly getting a handle on all the differences these cards (and the R400 based cards) present.
Edit - Being impatient, I just went ahead and over-paid for some Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive from Newegg.com.
