There is no lidded processor that cannot be delidded. The FX-8150's IHS is soldered to the die, but you can desolder it, or simply sand all the way through it. I've never delidded an AM3+ part myself, but I have successfully delidded...

Quote:Originally Posted by tsm106 You can only change voltage and unlock shaders on Cayman, everything else is either signed or controlled by the driver making it moot anyways. Memory timings are in the firmware, and are not...

There is nothing a custom BIOS could really do other than change clock speeds and voltages, perhaps memory timing tables. 6970s don't have anything disabled in firmware so there is nothing to unlock. You are better off just overclocking...

It's a BIOS switch. By default, reference 6950s and 6970s both have two identical BIOSes (reference 6950s do not normally come with unlocked BIOSes by default). It's simply a backup. You can flash one without having to worry about...

Quote:Originally Posted by victor.js Yes I dont have a clue about the amperage of the cable, it is not written on it. However, the cross-sectional area is the same size of the original psu cable. I will find what amperage it has,...

Planetside 2 crashes occasionally during very long (6-10 hours at a stretch) sessions for me, and rarely, if ever exits cleanly. Planetside 2 is a buggy game, with known issues, and will crash sooner or later on pretty much anything,...

So, what is this rush lane / lattice system?
