Leadtek 7600GT TDH Extreme Full modification

[Big_Sam]

This videcard has PCB distinct from reference, there is a place for installation additional power connector. The videocard has rather fast memory 1.2nS and is good preparation for OCing :)
As far as I know PCI-E can pass about 75W, and for 7600GT with big OCing it can be insufficiently, therefore I have decided to modify a power part a little. :)

did the stability improve or could you clock higher with the extra power connector ?

no results ?

Works without problems. :)
I have not reached higher frequencies, but GPU reaches former frequencies at Vgpu, at 1.55V works on 775Mhz without problems. :) It approximately about 0.02 - 0.03V is less than earlier.
I think a difference will be appreciable in work of pair videocards in SLi. It seems that I really felt shortage of power in SLi.

I did this mod specially for tests with SLi phase-chenge. I think that there it will be useful :)



As to my X.I.P... several days ago I have decided to change something in mine account and something happens. I do not know what it was. :(
I couldn't write some days in a forum absolutely, I hope that these problems not on long and soon all will be restored. :)
