AC Silencer seems big for me.....so ZALMAN VF700ALCU or CU fits ?
I have never done a volt mod before. Charlie, I know you are all about the pencil mod which I am interested in cause it seems easy and non solder based. Would you mind giving me/us the info on exactly what you did and where you got your info to follow from while doing the mod? Pictures, article or perhaps a short tutorial written by yourself or someone else? I have an ATI silencer 5 coming and my core can barely do 430 with stock volts. I would really like to do more but I will admit I am new to volt modding and a little scared. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Quote:

I saw that link. Thank you. I am just unsure exactly where and how to draw the pencil marks on the resistor. If anyone could be so kind as to load those pictures up in paint to draw exactly what to do and where it would be greatly appreciated. I know most people know what they are doing on this site and for most things I do however, I have no shame in admitting when I don't know something and need some help. Just really can't afford to break something I am not 100% assured of.
I second that. Would like to do pencil mod but dont want to make a 300$ mistake
I agree, the forum link seems a little better than the guide, but would be nice if someone made a guide for dumies (like me)
Feels like im talkin to myself sometimes, hasnt anybody got anything to say abt this???
and this........Quote:

So far between 1.68v and 1.73v has not let me go any further, my core seems maxed at 560mhz..Quote:

I won't do pencil mods... they're uncontrollable and sloppy.

Well, it looks like this is all she'll do folks
478/625
I hit 11202 in '03, but forgot to take a screen shot.
I need a new processor and motherboard. :)
I knew the XL was going to be popular but 470 replies :eek: ...

hmm anyone running x800xtpe speed after vmod?
eradicator with 560 on core :D
Well im maxing out at 492mhz, with 1.65v i can bench at 485mhz, upping Vgpu by 0.10 volts to 1.75 is only gaining me 7mhz! So im wondering if the overcurrent protection is kicking in, or Ive just reached the limit of the core. Thats why I am interested to see if anybody tried the overcurrent mod, seeing tht you seem to be having exactly the same results as me with regards to increase in mhz between 1.68-1.73v, maybe this will 'release' our cores.Quote:

I went back with voltage from 1,75--to-->1,63! with 1,75 I get ~509 Mhz now with 1,63Volt I get 515 ! I put My GPU-ram under water ;) from 621 to 635 with lower voltage.
I´ll try again to get higher with the GPU maybe with this temps and 1,75 V I can get ~520-530.<---hope so.
ok best regards fire113.
Good work their fire113,Quote:

Not been fortunate enuff to hit a big clocker first time in recent times with gfx cards. Im sure their are some magic cores out their tht could have 520mhz in them with good watercooling. Youve got some sweet ram, by the way :). 635mhz is sweet
:banana:
hi heres a pic
...damm.... one of the gluepads for the coolingheads fellt off :(
next week I´ll get a "holder" for the ramcooler.
ok cu fire113.

does Zalman VF700 CU fit on POWERCOLOR X800XL ?
Fits perfectly, i saw a 20mhz improvement in memory and core over stock cooer.
guys news XL have 2.0 or 1.6ns ram chips?
2.0 as default but some on the beginning got 1,6ns manufactor was powercolor as i remeber correctly.
seEn
i think that x800pro vivo AGP is still the best cost/performance card...
These are the benchmarks for my system, with the following specs. There is no overclocking or tweaking involved, all default speeds. The specs are as follows: I know my video card is not an XL series, but I've just bought this card and would like to see how it compares with the XL. The make is a Power Color X800 Pro Series.
Intel Prescott 3.2E Socket 775
2 GB Infenion DDR400
X800 Pro
Intel 865Pe Chipset
Please tell me if this result are correct with default speeds? Or if they are on the Low Side.
gatt767 : why FSB 200 ? Why not 250 * X ? :)
and those timings for ram ? omg ......3-3-3-x at 200 ?
what are you doing ? :slap:
The last two-three weeks I haven´t done any 3dbenching with my XL. Only Goldmem and memtest.
Today I tried 3dm01 at 470/540 which was completely stable a few weeks ago (24h of 03 in loop). It was a no go. I had to back down to 550/530 for 3dmark to complete.
Then I noticed the temps were higher then they used to. I had 51c idle and 54c load. Earlier i had 40-41c load.. dont remember idle.
The Zalman VF700 is getting warm, so its not bad contact.
I dont get it .. why cant i EVER get decent hw... :mad:
