X800XT AIW "Mystery connectors"

OldBuzzard · Mar 8, 2006, 12:52 AM

I'm puzzled at to just what two connections on my recently purchased card are for.

They are the two that are between the HSF and the backplate. One is easily accessable and the other is pretty well covered by a 'shield' that comes off the backplate.

I can't find anything on in them in any of the support documentation (which seems to be pretty poor IMHO) that references them.

Would some one please enlighten me?

Thank You

I think they're meant for diagnostic purposes.

They don't really do much for the end user that's for sure.

TBH I wouldn't worry about it. I got flipped out I thought I was missing something but they don't do much
