  1. Just out of curiosity, have you tried running it on a different monitor? I have a monitor here that is very picky about the cards it wants to work with, about half don't display a picture with it.

     

    Tried 2 different monitors, dvi and display port nothin.

     

    I even unhooked the trimpot, turns out the guy thought it was VGPU, was actually VMEM.

    Without trimpot, still no display output. I'm 99% sure it's dead.

  2. Latest is 1.1.6.9: http://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/MATRIX-GTX980TI-P-6GD5-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/

     

    Also did you short LN2 mode pads? Without this the BIOS switch has no function.

     

    Aww yes 1.1.6.9 is the one I'm on, I couldn't remember the numbers.

     

    Yeah, the old bios was working for me giving 200%.

     

    I shorted ln2 pads with a pencil, it's possible maybe the pencil rubbed off. I will check when I get home, I have a soldering iron now so I can do it properly.

     

    Need to watch some how to guides on soldering first maybe, I've only done it once lol. Don't want to mess anything up!

  3. Yes, I get 200% power limit. Do you have LN2 mode enabled? Which version of GPUTweakII?

     

    The newest one from asus site if I remember right.

     

    1.3.0.6? I'm not sure I'm at work right now so I can't check which version.

     

    I'm fairly sure I shut the pc off, flipped to ln2 mode then flashed the bios, restarted pc and I wasn't getting display output for some reason.

     

    Then I flipped to normal mode, and display was working. Then I restarted in ln2 mode and had display, but power limit was 110%.

     

    Maybe the flash didn't work or something, or maybe I didn't flip the switch far enough to ln2 mode.

     

     

    I'll look when I'm home in 4.5 hours.

  4. Disable the voltmod and rule that out as a cause. I know, 1.14v is very safe, but still....

     

    Have you tried wiggling the card in the slot? Wiped the PCI-E fingers down with acetone?

     

     

    Heatgun the card? Maybe some dry solder somewhere?

     

    I'll try that. To disable mod I just need to solder the wires off the trimpot, correct?

    I want to hear back from the guy that sold me it first before I go messing with everything if possible.

    To heatgun the card I'll have to remove all the LET as well I'd imagine.

     

    PCI-E fingers don't have a single mark on em, so I think they're OK.

     

    Tried wiggling around in slot as well.

     

     

    When windows recognized the card when I booted in with IGPU, it showed 0 MB of memory on the card, possibly something is messed up? Or just software bug?

  5. I bought a 5850 off a user here on the forums, it was already trimpot modded for v core voltage, and covered in LET.

     

    Before turning it on, I measured resistance on the trimpot, and found the correct direction to turn the wheel. I turned it to the higher resistance side, to make sure the gpu wouldn't get crazy volts on boot.

     

     

    It has no display output, v core voltage reading shows 1.14v when inside windows, but no display output.

    The vrm heat up, so they're definitely receiving current...

    I tried dvi port, and display port. But nothing, just black screen entire time. Tried clearing cmos as well..

     

     

    Any other troubleshooting I can do? Or is it dead?
