Nice Job as I've said before.

But just looking at the pic now..


though what you did definatly made it safer.

you do know that the Chip would more than likely work as it was right? (based on the pic) provided you cleaned it as you did.

You added the resistance with your solder


kudos on your recovery though - that short between the two legs would have DEFINATLY spelt disaster had you turn it on in your sys!
(course - YOU'RE smarter than that ^_^ )

Poser

Actually at first, all I did was clean the chip thoroughly and kept my fingers crossed. However, the result was that I simply couldn't get it stable at even a modest overclock.

Thats what prompted me to attempt the rescue effort (that and I had a spare 4000+ sitting in its OEM packaging should disaster befall me)

how go's your rig?

ah - well yes, THAT I can understand (the OC being unstable).

(as the resistance was altered due to the damage.

But a normal setup should have worked ^_^ (but - hey - who needs that eh? )




well - its ok I guess poser.

But I've been without its use for the longest while now

no monitor

(I keep remembering the one that they stole from me - that OCN donated ) :cry:
