I want my card to go higher than 325/535MHz (326/535 or 325/536 it wont complete car low). I dont have supercooling on it, but i think it is good enough to handle a little more voltage.

How do i make the Vmods?

Here is my card: http://www.frezhmaker.frac.dk/P4-6.JPG

If you do a search on the forums, you might be able to find one already done. If not, could you please post some high-resolution pictures of the front and back of the card. Then Holst the voltmodding guru might be able to help you work something out.

That's true and we are also talking about it here. ->

It seems the mods are similar for all cards. Should be if they have same regulator chips to solder to in the right places, and yeah.... it looks like your card can take a little bump in volts ;)

Did a pretty good job cutting those blocks to fit.

Nice work.

Look on the back of the card, there should be 2 ICs with 14 or more pins on them.

Grab the names of those and post em. If it is like y MSI 4200, I am betting you have the ISL regulators.

I will look at my card tomorrow. What is a ISL regulator? I'm just learning english, so i dont understand evrething 100% yet :roll: (only 15 years old)

I have one picture more of my card: http://www.frezhmaker.frac.dk/P4-3.JPG

The ISL****** typically control the voltages on most 4200s, or so it seems lately.

You should see 2 rectangles on the back of your card. Those are the voltage regulators for the Vgpu and Vmem.

Here is a pick of the back of my card. I didnt do a great job drawing my arrows, but I did it real quick and stuck on a linux laptop at the moment.

Thats a real nice job of cutting those blocks to fit there. What tool did you use to cut those ramsinks so cleanly, or are they just sanded down?
