low res pics attached, high res front and back pics available from TPU
EDIT: unmoded pics untill the vmod will be done & confirmed working

Do we need to see a vmod or what?
I see nothing on those pics.
The idea is that as soon as they are on the web, they will be posted in this topic, i guess.
Yeah I guess that's the reason this thread was open
PS:looks so much the 8800GTX/Ultra
Wow that chip seems HUGE to me, or am I going crazy?
The chip itself it's not that big but it has IHS over it like a CPU;)Quote:

Also- the 8-pin chip in the middle of the triangle between the SLI connector and the left + top RAM banks, as well as all the ICs under the I/O chip?
Is the space for an 8-pin chip beside the 6-pin power plug populated?

Oh, now don't I feel stupid. I LOVE that idea though, no more cracked core with water black installs. Sorry for the thread hijack, back to Volt Modding!Quote:

We need better pics
found a high res pic of the Volterra VT1165MF voltage controller, same one used for ATI R600

vmod for Memory?
In other words. Software voltage change should be possible.Quote:

make canon release the eos 5d successor faster then you get better pics :)Quote:

I sincerely hope that software control will be made available. That would be a major selling point for me.
Agreed!Quote:

How do they respond to voltage?
I have spent most of the day modding an EVGA 280 GTX HydroCopper. I will be posting results with pics, ect later this weekend. Its a hot chip, no doubt.
It does not respond to voltage over 1.350 and Riva/EVGA Precision cannot clock it over 800 mhz. Only way to get higher is by using Nibitor and flashing a BIOS.
:up:
Nice looking forward to your results / pics!Quote:

What's your result this far?
Bump for results!
The core max can only clock to half the shader clock. Example if you have shader clock set to 1500, than 750 core is as high as you can go. So 1450 shader would be 725 core and so on. Linked or unlinked the rule stands.Quote:
