4)8800GTS 512 vmem and vcore mod
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=168788
So..... I think ive got all the correct pieces that I need.
Op-amp:http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LM4562.html
(1kohm and 50kohm)Trimmers:http://www.rapidonline.com/productinfo.aspx?tier1=Electronic+Components&tier2=Resistors+%26+Potentiometer&tier3=Preset+Potentiometers&tier4=3%2f8in+multiturn+cermet+potentiometers&moduleno=65273
(330uf 2v) Tantalum capacitors:http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=495-1591-1-ND
(2200uf 16v) Black Gate capacitor: http://www.partsconnexion.com/catalog/CapacitorsElectrolytic.html
But I have a few questions before I start.
1) Where can I find the R70 chokes? I cant seem to find them anywhere!
2) Is that the correct trimmer that I should be using for the Vdroop/Vmem/Vcore mods
3) Where are some good places to get supplies? I know digikey is good but I have trouble navigating their site. And is there anywhere that would carry all of these things so I could just get it from one place?
4) Anything I should know before starting?
Thanks for the help everyone! And hopefully this can help other people too
