The first thing you should do is to take som high res pics of the front and back of the card :)

Here is a picture of the back of the card:

Are the quality and the detail good enough? If they are tommorow i wil remove the cooler and take a picture from the front side too.

Lookin' good but there are no Vcontrollers...they have to be on the front then :)

Ok here's the picture from the front side:

Another question - where are the reading points that i can find out the current values?

I think that the reading points are on the back of these caps :

What caps? I don't see anything. I don't understand ... :confused:

It is not readable on the picture but the memory of the videocard is Hynix 4ns.

And if it will help here is what is written of some of the chips that might be what we are looking for: :)

Bump for a working picture! (*cough* Bra!nFreeZe^? Something up with your server?)

The vMod on the card isn't hard to do. It's using the older chips for voltage control, it seems. Just soldering pins 5 and 7 to a potentiometer seems to do the trick.

I think you'd only need a 1k Ohm pots, too. Resistence between those two legs when stock is .78 kOhm on one and .73 kOhm on the other. (Pin 5 is FB and pin 7 is ground)

Anyway, that's all well and good, but I have no idea where to measure the resulting voltage from. Kinda an important step, no?

10x a lot :)
and sorry but i have to ask you some very stupid questions :)

which are pins 5 and 7? i mean ... from where i have to start counting to 5 and 7 and on which side? i couldn't find in google anything about that voltage controller ...

and what voltage will be increased then? of the gpu or the memory?

and about the reading points ... maybe i will just try random locations on the pins of the capacitors ...

p.s. yeah here (http://server6.uploadit.org/files/RazorJack-vga_marking.jpg) is a working picture.
That 25PO5 must be the bios, the IDT ... i don't know but it isn't voltage kontroller so the controller must be that thing:
38H4LEK
ACT08
right? but i couldn't find any info about it ...
