¹ Modding carries with it an inherent risk. HumanSmokeOf course! You're obviously adept at BGA reballing, so it should be a piss easy task to work out the pinouts of two different GPUs and rewire the socket accordingly. Proceed at your own risk.but knowing your skill level, I'm sure you'll handle it just fine If the *NEW* 290X fails to work, change the wires around until it does. Leave the GPU loose on the PCB for the homemade look, or hot glue it to the socket for the PRO look.Ĥ. After checking the BGA pinout map for both the R600 and the 290X's socket, solder lengths of bog-standard copper wire to the R600 pins and solder randomly to the socket pinouts. If the bond is really stubborn, loosen carefully with an oxy-acetylene gas axe.ģ. Find a cheap HD 2900XT (PRO TIP: the R600 is pretty close to the Hawaii die in size). Buy a R9 290X, lever the GPU out with a butter knife.Ģ. You don't want to accidentally kill your PC, so I'd suggest a practice run first to get acquainted with the methodology¹:ġ.
