Maximum Volt Mod
just gotta see now whether that OVP point that was pointed out earlier in the modding thread will work....just need to get someone to test this out now
Is it possible to do the OVP mod by penciling the resistor? If so I'd be willing to play guinea pig.
Does the OVP play any role in BIOS max voltage?Quote:

from what people are reporting max 1.2v
so you have to hard mod but if only 1.3v it is not worth it unless you are going to push it on DICE
that is really nice for such a cheap cardQuote:

Hurry up, they still have stock!
i was going to get one from them, but they have some really bad reviews at resellerratings.comQuote:

It doesn't say phase 3 anywhere on it and the picture even says "Actual item may differ from image shown"Quote:

Their main webpage doesn't list a product or part number either :/
Be wary...
Not a good sign.Quote:

I have 1kohm vr ready to go and wire from a fan. multi meter =/ good rosin core 2.5 oz .032 diameter solder. HELP
using this as a guide http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1&d=1194114049
Ok Mod BIOS and overclock testing again:
This is Max shaders i tried the next step but it is 2000MHz a big jump, not max core yet, vRAM didnt play much but at least it didnt get worst that before the mod.

Okay soldiering is done. Now what? do i measure something? plug it in? turn pot? HELP MAN!Quote:

You're going to need a 500Ohm or 1kOhm VR for the vGPU. Where are you using the 20k?Quote:

It would be nice if one of the experts could tell me what the proper resistance should be for the OVP mod on GT cards.:rolleyes:
How hot is it getting?!Quote:

How did you change vRAM?Quote:

I don't understand why doing the BIOS mod would affect the maximum RAM clocks, but I'm not complaining. Maybe they just needed to break in?Quote:

I was only getting 712/1674/929 (pretty low) stable earlier on my vanilla GT. I actually got a card w/ stock 600/1500/900 clocks despite the fact a lot of folks got SC factory clocks on their vanilla GT's. (got it through eVGA's step-up...320GTS-->GT)
Now I'm getting 741/1728/951 artifact free under ATI Tool...so far. Temps are 70 on the stock cooler w/ 100% fan.
Next step is to get the HR03GT (when it's released), and a good fan on there. Then some VRs will help me get in the 800/2000's...I hope!
edit: I may just leave my RAM alone if it'll run at 950. No use to go higher until I understand better this rumor I hear of the RAM dieing if you OC it to 1000.
Which one is the OVP resistor?Quote:

Go to bios section you will find it :) Yes, you can increase voltage by 0.05V from bios and it really works.Quote:
