I bought an X800 Pro VIVO mate, second hand.

These early cards unlock to 16 pixel pipes when flashed with a different BIOS.

I flashed it with a X800 XT Platinum Edition BIOS and the standard cooler did NOT like the extra clock speeds

I was seeing 90C+ when benchmarking and playing intense games.

I fitted that cooler and I rarely see past 50C, and I can't hear it!

Next on the list will be a decent cooler for my CPU, its running the stock AMD rubbish at the moment, everytime I start doing anything other than browsing I wake the rest of the house up because it speeds up and sounds like a jet engine
