I bought a SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON 9600XT Video Card, 128MB DDR, 128-Bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP, Model "100573-RED" -OEM (Rev.4.0) to use as a test card for my cascades. It clocks 640/750 Air.
Is anyone aware of voltmod pics on this card? I can't find any 9600XTs with this card layout.

I would check around the ram chips for Vddr and check the Capacitors on the back of the card where the core sits.

LOL :p:
I was just getting ready to ask you which chips you were referring too, so I took a quick peek at the pics to see if you could see them all and I noticed you had them marked.
I marked the pictures below.
I did the best my eyes could do. :rolleyes: I've got an idea on which cap pins to check. There are some pins sticking through the card in familiar places like older cards. I'll check them soon.
I know you are a very busy man , Hell-Fire. This is not near as important as your mods your doing. Whenever you can get to this is fine with me. ;)
I will take a good look at your pics later this week.
I am trying to get everything out by tomorrow.
On a quick peak, the RT9173A is controlling the Vtt on the card, which makes me think that the LM324 beside it may be running the Vddr. If I were and engineer, I would put the Vddr regulator near the Vtt one.
I will get back to you, but try to find read points and mark those pretty please with sugar on top. Also, check pin #5 on RT9173A after finding the Vddr read point to make certain it is indeed running Vtt regulation (which I am sure it is). Pin #5 is the one on the left if you arrange the RT9173 with the pins pointing up.
Pin #5 on RT9173A is reading 1.43, so exactly what does that mean?
It would be nice if I learned something while we do this. :D
If you need me to check more places, please point them out.
If you still need Vmods for the card I've done Vgpu and Vmem on a card which looks like it has a very similar layout to your card.

Your a good man!! :surf:
The card is no longer in my posession and mods are no longer needed. I really appreciate your offer though.
Keep up the good work. :worship:
Lol its funny how hellfire circled every chip besides the vgpu reg :P
