Default Flashing x850 pro

I have an ATI 850pro, wondering how i will be able to see if the pipes are unlocked after i flash, and also what are the chances ill have a bad flash and **** up my card?

Also does this void warranty? im assuming it does.

I would not think a driver reinstall would be necessary. You still have the same core, just different bios. Should work.

There's a boot CD .iso image in my guide. Your CD burning software should be able to load the .iso image.

yes, i downloaded it and burned it, but i look at the CD and nothing is on it, what i want to do is put my own bios/ flashrom on it.

I am under the impression with yours i have to use the PE bios and dont want to do that as those speeds crash even with the zalman cooler and i want to use an XT bios and leave it on the XT speeds becasue that is what its running at now and its perfect.


This might be a dumb qestion, but i looked at ur guide again and checked my "F" ATItool information to see if i could unlock, and i have an E at the end of the second line instead of an F, is there any reason to try, i have no problem trying if there is any hope. but if its for sure a no go, i guess ill leave it overclocked.
