scottg17 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Improved cable management a bit further, Braided all the fan cables. And the cables from the switches and LEDs up front and added a nice little altec 2.1 surround sound kit i got pretty cheap. Sound quality of these altec kits are brilliant given the price they sell at! http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/3049/dsc00109xs.jpghttp://img840.imageshack.us/img840/3697/dsc00110k.jpghttp://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8490/dsc00114du.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottg17 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Reflashed the BIOS of the 6950 to a 6970. Was really easy but did need to unlock the ROM through the command promptNote the shader, clock speed and mem beforehttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/26426.png Afterhttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/26427.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottg17 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 what you think to the ati 6950? worth a shot? liking the reflashing to a 6970 Seems okay so far, Reverted back to 6950 bios tho as the temps were getting a bit high on the 6970 bios, TBH i didnt really need to reflash it, it was more for shits and giggles, Very good card on its own anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
