i have a 480 and the ABSOLUTE MAX i can get is 570 on the core without causeing a system hang. and still they might have gotten a 480 but they are alot less frequent in the firebladesQuote:

Any reason you guys went with the VR mod instead of the pencil? If the VR has definite advantages I might give that a shot, but I'll probably need a new soldering iron -- the Cold Heat thing I've got is great for quickie jobs but it may not be precise enough.
Also, how necessary is it to remove the card from the system before working on it? I'll do it if the alternative is frying my rig, but it's a major PITA to swap a waterblock on and off six times.

What is better, connect card thru adapter or direktly to PSU ?
i prefer the vr mod because its easier to fine tune the voltages , and once its on its permanently there till you remove it , pencil mod can degrade over time iirc.
i vmoded my old 9800xt whilst it was still in the case as i had water block and tec installed and was to lazy to mess around removing and then resealing it again.
but you may have a problem doing that to the gt02 with it still in the system as vdd mod the legs on the chip you need to solder are facing towards the motherboard so its hard to get to , and the vgpu is 2 tiny solder pads which are hard to get to whilst in the case.
which ever looks tidiest , i doubt you will notice any performance diffrence using a connector or direct psu connectionQuote:

Pencil mod, then electric tape it, so it wont degrade.

you can tune your card while testing/benching with soldered VR :P
Hey ! I need help
Why is my nature test so bad :( :confused: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8764956
I have better results with my p4/6800gt :stick:
Hey you guys, guess who's back?

Still Stock cooling...
really nice card :slobber:Quote:

What is the ambient temp? just a comparsion! :D
Any one have issues with the stock heatsink fan on the GTO2? Mine doesn't spin and when it does it spins.... SLOW........

Sorry to Hijack the thread but is there anyone here who has got a DMM with connectivity beeper handy as I got overexcited with my soldering iron and used too much solder :slap: . I have managed to get most off with solder wick but I want to check its ok before I switch her back on. I need to know if the connectivity beeper sounds when the bottom resistor pad and the test point are connected in the pic bellow

any help would be very much appreciated
Edit Well I decideded to try it anyway death or glory and it was fine :woot: just finished the vrmod and Im currently artifact testing at 579/621 @1.46v 30oC Idle 50oC load. Man I love these cards :banana:
adjust the fan speed with atitoolQuote:

Stock cooling, no vmods or whatevaaaahhh :nono:
618/651
More CPU speed would get me around 7400 i think
651 on the mem... holy cow. What are you using to control the timings? What are said timings if you dont mind sharing?
I don't get , people here getting 600/600 easily...my max is like 565/600.....and sometimes atitool shuts down my pc.....wtf?!
I use the standard timings, all standard. I have a Sapphire with 1,6NS memory.
Just run ATI Tray tool and see what the timings are
Luck of the draw. These are unbinned R480 chips, so maybe yours would've been binned for an XT instead of an XTPE. Still, 565/600 for a $200 card is a sweet deal.Quote:

Luck indeed, have you already tried to Vmod it?, could gain you some MHz :)Quote:
