I bought that card for quite cheap. It came equipped with Etrontech 4 ns TSOP Ram on it and does´nt follow the standard PCB layout where you can increase voltage by the pencil trick.
Does anyone out there know how to do it ? I´ll post some pics later . Good night

It would be so col if someone could tell me how to v-mod it ,
because i have now put some nice aircooling to it but it definitely voltages that are holging me back .. don´t let me down ;)

I have one of this card too
the maximum "all stock" I get is 267/267, default was 250/230 with -4ns memory, same brand
I´ll put some mem sinks (when I find :) )

I've got one of these cards as well and would be very thankful if anyone could help with a vmod for the RAM. My core goes up to 325 on stock cooling, but the memory tops out around 270 and it's killing my nature score :) .
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

What i found out is that when u take off the fan fron my gpu cooler ( not stock) it´s not only the core getting hot but also the ram modules. I found that this really strange so maybe it should help sombody finding a Voltmod....
Btw my card naxex out @305/270 .... need that Vmod really ;)

Are none of the vmod guys willing to help? I'll take any measurements that anyone needs...
I put ramsinks on the card and it gets up to about 325/278 now, more voltage is the key for the RAM.

nobody have no idea ?
now it´s flashed to 9100
but the max mem. clock still is 266 :(
a guy with a card like mine (from the same store) measured voltages of 3.09 for the memos
at the memory datashets says that the ideal is 3.45 :eek:

Where can you measure the Vmem ?

Like i thought witj some juice we could definately squeeze some MHZ outta that card .

I really don´t know, but I´ll ask him
but if you want to try some portuguese:

ps: his memos are Samsung, but the Max he can get is 270, from Sapphire too

It looks like the only difference is the memory chips. The layout of his PCB appears to be exactly like mine. I'm no electronics expert, but I'm trying to figure this out, I just don't know where to start.
