Cap-mod your RXXX (Radeon)

Its worth it!

By addding the caps I did in this thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...threadid=31883) my max memory overclock for continuous load with no vmod has gone up at least 20mhz!! :toast: I'm at 365 with just 2.8v for over 12 hours so far :D

The Core is doing well, too, it can run 413mhz with 1.7v.

Best of all?

No more sacrificing mem speed for core speed!!

10v 500uf-1000uf Low ESR caps are recommended for the 9700np and 9700 Pro. I dont have a 9800/XT series card, but I expect they are very similar ;)

what are you doing? higher voltage capable or higher capacitance? or just better brand ?

Sounds like you got more out of it than I did, but yes I would agree. It is a worthwhile mod. I got around 10Mhz on a 9500np with 3.3 Infineon which is damn good for that particular memory. Looks like this.

Stevil you have seen this already, but it might benefit someone else here:)

Dunno what I changed, but now i'm only managing 360... with 3.3v... :rolleyes:

You mean like this?

Yeah.

I figured out what I did to get 365 before... I was measuring vmem from the wrong point and was probably throwing 3.4 or so at the memory...
