Pencil R24 to increase volts a little further.
ok i'll try it too.but i'm afraid sr58 didn't work.i put some graphite on it but vmem was still the same.so i canceled it :(
Hmm too bad it didnt work. I have confirmed info that it worked with two different 7300GTs. Maybe your ram being AF14 makes a difference here.
i think there is a connection between r23 and r24.the values were nearly equal for both.then as i pencilled r24 till 340ohm,and r23 was also the same again.i don't know why.so i managed to reach 1.5v@745mhz on gpu with that.max temp is 60C.then 1.6v@780mhz with max 69C :D this is ok for gpu.maybe i can fine tune delta clock again.
yeah that may be the difference of AF14 rams :( i'll try to pencil PW7120's pins instead.they were 740 without ramsinks and now 765 with my custom ramsinks.i bent the leaves for better air spread and twin ocz for each :D just waiting for being boosted!

aycibin can you post some benchies of what scores your getting because you have reasonable clocks :D your 7600gs looks like a 7300gt with just a couple of bits here and there different with what should be a 7600gt core ill get some benchies up when my new mobo comes back from asus as it has been rma'ed :D
actually i got this 7600gs with the same price as 7300gt :)
i'm sorry for misguiding about sr58 mod at my previous post.i tried it again and it worked this time.now mems are @2.25v with 810mhz :D 3dmark 01,03,05,06 are successful without any artifacts or any problems.
by the help of my big&custom sinks,i could put some more voltage.because they are not too hot by now(cooler than default 9800xt mems).but there is a safe limit for voltage regulator(APW7120) used on this card.it is also same in 7300gt.datasheet writes "118% Over-Voltage Protection".which refers to 1.6v for gpu and 2.29v for mems.so i'll decrease vgpu to ~1.55v just in case.i think it will reduce to 760-765mhz.
i didn't take bench scores because i ran the 3dmarks one after other respectively to be sure about stability.so there was no time to take a fresh breath for the card :) you know running 3dmark for several times decreases its scores.but here are some that i recorded so far just to give some idea.and rest of my sytem is not overclocked yet.i need some time like a holiday or sth :) unfortunately my job doesn't let me to have my own spare time :(
3dmark01 24000
3dmark03 15200
3dmark05 7300
3dmark06 3900(sm2:1650,hdr/sm3:1500,cpu:1500)
yo fr3ak i found your beasty sli score on the orb does running dx6 and win server 03 give any advantages at all or that just your os your using ? :P because i got it but not tried it out yet and woundering if any inprovement or is it just a bug :P
I am using a special XS OS. Its DX9.0c, dunno why it says DX6. My XP Pro install is kinds old, so I only used it for 01 and 06.
I am not so sure what the overvolt protection does. I ran 1.7V on the GPU and noticed a little higher oc than runnin 1.6, so I am not so sure if it really works.
But then again it might explain the dodgy behaviour of the card.
I'm sure of beating 800mhz on 1.7v gpu easily.besides;maybe overvolting has no effect for a few tries and benches,but may effect the efficiency or behaviour of the card in long term like 6-7 months.i don't want to lose my card for a few more frames
good news :D i got news about my new mobo asus said old board so i got credit so im getting this cool sli board clocks well with the cpu i have and im going to purchase another 7300gt :P so im going to try and see what i can g et hopefully get a score like fr3aks :D so then beating x1900xtx's not bad for 120quid's worth of card when brought coolers aswell

bottem 1 :)
nice but mobo seems to be out of stock :)
so just to be sure, i would pencil in R23 to increase Vgpu voltage and SR58 for the Vmem? (i have the same card as in the first post) and what sort of pencil do i need for this? (im not confident with soldering) and wouldnt the pencil come off over time? what can i do to stop this? and i dont have a volt meter so is there some program that i can use to find out the voltages?
No you cant use a program to measure vgpu and vmem, you need a voltmeter.
Use a soft pencil, no hard pencil and once you are down, use a peice of duct tape to cover it, so it doesnt come off.
R23 and R58 are right, but dont go crazy with memory volts. I run mine at 2.05V as they are already factory overvolted ;)
hey can i use these to just the voltage on the gpu and mem? http://jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp?...=&SUBCATID=802 the pins i need to attach to are buried somewhere in this thread and i cant be bothered look through right now :D i suck at soldering so can i just get some really small clips instead?
clips may not be durable enough i think.if you are uncomfortable with soldering,just use its proved alternative,pencil modding like me.i pulled gpu volt a little bit down to 1.56v from 1.62v so gpu decreased from 795 to 770mhz.not much mhz loss but work about 7-8C cooler now :) 47-67C but these could have been better with an ac5 or zalman stg-1 termal paste.
here i get some scores... sorry about delay ;)
(only vga OCed)
450/500@560/700(@7600gt)
3dmark03: 13000
3dmark05 : 6000
3dmark06: 3300(sm2:1340,hdr/sm3:1215,cpu:1635)
450/500@770/815
3dmark03: 16000
3dmark05: 7800
3dmark06: 4000(sm2:1780,hdr/sm3:1410,cpu:1635)
sweet ill just grab a soft pencil and do a pencil mod :D and how much of a difference in temps would i see if i used arctic silver 5 instead of the stuff that comes with the zalman VF900-cu? thinking of getting some with my new cpu cooler and might shove some on my vga :D
i mixed def paste with arctic ceranique 3 :) assuming the ac5 comparisons as reference,there will be at least 5-6C decrease.besides there will be 3-4C decrease with zalman stg-1 with respect to ac5.decision is yours ;)
PS: i made a correction in gt clock freq in 115th post.
well done aycibin :D seems a good rock solid performance why dont you get sli im still having trouble with my 7300gt unfortunatly :( the core doesnt want to go above 575 :( either artifacts real bad or i just get the pc restarting :( so at the minute i was only able to achive
13000 in 03 @ 575/816
5500 In 05 @ 575/816
ive think its because the card isnt getting enough voltages through it i was thinking of making a molex connecter 12v to give it more power and tried bumping the pci-e voltage but had no affect :/
havnt tried 06 yet but i think i might have 1 with a weak core :( so i might upgrade to a x1950pro but still keep my 7300gt in my 4ghz p4 :P as 2nd pc :D
@Fr3ak:
could you post your single(not sli) 560/700 or 700/800 score just to see the difference btw 7600 and 7300 architecture?then i'll post mine at the same speed ;) this can be good referance i think!
i dont think to make it sli.because;
1)more heat & less space in the case
2)this card is out of stocks in turkey.i ordered 15-20 of this for myself and some friends :)
3)i may need to replace my psu against more power consumption
4)i would prefer using a 240$ card rather than 2x120$.performance is equivalent
5)i still dont need to o/c beyond gt speeds for the games.im so satisfied with mine :)
Could do that next weekend I guess. Havent touched my gaming rig for 3 weeks now, because I dont have the time to :/
But I dont think your 3800+ and my E6600 are comparable.
And I cant take the card out of my case, because that would mean I have to dismantle my watercooling, wh ich will take way too long.
of course they are not :) but 3dmark05 and 06 are not so dependent on the test base as far as i see.so i thought that,this would be a good 7600-7300 comparison ;)
look...i have an idea :) mitsirfishi has also posted some 7300gt scores above.i can also put some 575/815 scores here.i'll post in a spare time in the following days
Some more suicidal single 7300GT Galaxy on single core Venice 3800+ ;) on plain air .. for fun.
The GPU / Mem clocks are the highest I've seen everywhere.. the scores are "only" top 5 everywhere because of the Venice
Tomorrow I'll put some light overclocked E6400 Allendale scores on a friend's computer for comparison .. stay tuned :cool:

7300gt(mitsirfishi's post):
13000 in 03 @ 575/816
5500 In 05 @ 575/816
7600gs:
14100 in 03 @ 575/816
6550 in 05 @ 575/816
these tests are not dependent on the system.so this shows what do the extra pipelines do for 7600...
besides sabinus's 7300gt@955/900 scores(16700(03),7600(05),3850(06)) are not too different from my 770/815 ones(115th post)
You got good scores there aycibin... you have a little more help from the extra pipe/vertex and from dual-core CPU (mine is only Venice :().
As you see, it takes some serious overclocking for 7300GT to catch up with 7600GS. (both having DDR3)
As I promised, here are some results I obtained in a short bench session with a friend and his slightly overclocked E6400:
3dMark01 41043
3dMark03 17299
waiting for my own E6400 or E6600 to pull out some records ;)
I am waiting for my ram to pull out some records aswell ;)
yep...but conroe is the best choice to get a record i swear ;) and it closes the gap as i see :)
i put the blame on amd :P
Fr3ak, i suggest you ocz or geil for the best scores!you'll thank for me.
you can find the best prices on "www.idealo.de" i think
besides; ich gehe nach Essen für das neue Jahr :D

Can anyone help me mod my asus en7300gt-top ddr3 128MB?I don't have a camera but I can tell you the code of what you ask me.The board clocks pretty well on the core.I achieved 63xMHz benchable after that it freezez with no artefact so I thought it's cause of voltage.I really would appreciate it.Thank you.
I would suggest you start a need thread with that question. That way it would get more attention.
Pics will help a lot. If you cant take pictures, try to find a card with the same PCB using google or whatever search engine you prefer.
Posting the chips that are on your card might be sufficient, but its hard to give you advice without seeing some pictures.
Btw, I dont think I will do any more benching with my cards. I dont have the time to and 8300GT/GS is close to be released, so I guess I will swap my paor with a pair of low end DX10 cards.
Ok will do so.Can you please tell me something about NiBiToR and that setting with the delta?Mine is 0.What should I set it to?Thnx.BTW congratulations on your overclocking it is very impressive ;)
Having some probs with my Palit Sonic 7300GT DDR3 (500\1000) have it overclocked to 520\1500 atm with no probs, getting about 12.5k in 3dmark2003
What kind of pencil should I be using on R23 resistor, default is at 212 for me.
A bit offtopic..
Someone want to tell me step-by-step that delta-thing? (whatever it is called)
How to lower the shader(?) clocks. I have neer had to deal with this kind of stuff before, as I have had many years old hardware for ages. :p
I have nibitor, and have changed the delta, saved the BIOS, and now I need to flash it? With which utility, and where might I get it? The card is Sonic one, by Palit, so it runs 500/1000(DDR) by default, and is with Infineon 2.0ns chips.
I really think that the shader is the problem, since the GPU gets unstable at 520MHz, so getting it to 600+ would be near perfect. ;p
Yay! Delta 156 quite much worked! \o/ Now the core runs at least 530 -> 560 stable(CS:S, 3DMark 01, 03, 05, 06, LFS and Soldat.) :)
