Lately I got a strange taste in FX cards. :D My FX 5800 (non ultra) is/was a dustbuster and also has a massive coil noise. Add some other stuff that I had to sort out and it can't get better than this! I managed to reduce the coil noise and also the card barely gets warm in full load. 47C medium fan …

The Chip is SGS-Thomson 88745S M27256-2FI. My TL866A programmer didn't have this in the list of supported IC's but I found out that it …

Your observation is pertinent though. :D UV EPROM + BRIGHT SUNLIGHT = LOVE (NOT!) I saw that exposed EPPROM chip from a mile away. In the end I decided to buy the card regardless. It looked like it already spent a lot of time that way so I'm pretty sure that the infromation was lost a long time ago. …
