Bios modification to unlock high frequency.

prereq: dos boot disc,

atiflash http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1968/ATIFlash%203.86.html

radeon bios editor (rbe) http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/Utilities/RBE/

tutorial http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/Utilities/RBE/

example, not working on all, watch ^^^tutorial,:

tested: http://www.alza.cz/sapphire-hd-5830-xtreme-d237936.htm
boot to dos
card listing:
atiflash -i
acquire bios from first card:  
atiflash -s 0 bios0.rom 
on some windows machine (maybe under wine) run rbe,
load bios file, under "additional features" set upper limit GPU" (I set 1050)
save modified bios
go back to minning machine
atiflash -p 0 modbios.rom
then reboot to linux,
modify ^^^ a.ovdr, 
set <PERFORMANCE_LEVEL level="2" gpu="100000" mem="30000" voltage="1125"/> 
test for stability, watch for temperatures
my stable settings is gpu=103000, voltage 1163 (stock voltage)

MtGox YubiKey

YubiKey II is an USB device provided and used by MtGox as an OTP device to login into their webpage.

Using Yubikey on Linux

No driver needed. Plug-in your Yubikey.

  • short press (cca 0.5s) generates login OTP
  • long press (cca 3s) for withdrawal OTP
kernel: usb 5-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
kernel: input: Yubico Yubico Yubikey II as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-2/5-2:1.0/input/input13

YubiKey serial num

  • It is not a QR code. It is Data_Matrix in ASCII encoding containing 6digits number printed under. You can generate your own here.

One Time Password

fixed id AES encrypted OTP whole output string
6B or 48b fixed string 16B or 128b AES128 22B = 44 chars
