No, it doesn't unfortunatley. Would be nice to be able to flash the bios and have an easy fix to an xt, but I was stupid.

Shitty decision on my part because i ahve an agp card and now thats pretty much obsolete. I should ahve pitched the extra $ for an xt at the time, or if i had known, a vivo so i could fix it to be an xt.

Looks like oc is the only way to go for me. I was using ati tool to oc it with the stock fan on the chipset but temps were super high. 90-95C, so i'm hoping the vga coler will bring that down so i can get a good oc on it. i'm also going to do my 3500+. i got the ac freezer pro and that thing works great. when it was colder out i was getting 45C with load. right now unfortunatley i'm idle at around 40C because its so hot in my room because its 30C outside and we have no air conditioning. so i might have to wait or just make sure when i oc i don't get into to high temps.

but before i replaced the stock heatsink and fan i was in the 60's on the 3500+. amazing what replacing the stock one can do.
