Eh, i'm still patiently waiting for what is i guess OCP mod..

EDIT: On the other hand maybe there is no workaround on this black screen problem and maybe it's just because of weak power phases on reference design. Tho hope dies last.

Erm...

vvikoo's 9600gt is not reference desgin,
exclusively has hdmi,displayport and 3phase PWM for GPU.

I didn't know there was a difference. :brick:

I did the mod today and mine also craps out as soon as I put the vr on. This is just anoying.
Stock it gets 1.1-1.11v and when i put the vr on the voltage is 1.15. I cant even be in windows for more than a few seconds.
This card is rapidly turning into the most f***ed up thing i've bought

I tried to ground the pin #35 today and it seemed to work, sort of. I ran some benchies but the card power line components quickly turned very hot and started to produce a pitched sound and this was only with 1.25V (3d) voltage and 775 clock. But maybe this is good news to people using extreme cooling?

I guess I'm stuck to 800/2000/1107 clocks with this card.

Nothing helps my card. Tried grounding pin35 (VID5) as Xargo suggested - same black screen.
Xargo may i ask you why exactly vid5? There are VID0-VID6 - why exactly VID5?

But anyway, I suspect it's the power phases holding this card back. Looks like if you want to have a nice overclock, better not get the reference design. I'm thinking step-up to 9800gtx or some such. Should have plenty enough power headroom at least =)

I'm just a little bit disappointed with my 9600 considering I was able to run 8600gts @ 1.666V \,,/ with only air cooling. Not a reference design though. Now I'm going to sell it.

I tried a quick and dirty VGPU mod and it doesnt work. OVP or whatever seems to kick in at about 1.18V. Funny is that the card has 1.01V for bootup and 1.11V once it loads the driver. 1.13-1.15V is the voltage under load.

Good news!

I tried modding the voltage settings in bios today. I was able to boot the system @ 1.52V (1.58V 3d) and run these tests (one by one) in 3dmark06:

Fill Rate - Single-Texturing 6625,231 MTexels/s
Fill Rate - Multi-Texturing 21136,088 MTexels/s
Pixel Shader 414,076 FPS
Vertex Shader - Simple 225,755 MVertices/s
Vertex Shader - Complex 173,459 MVertices/s
Shader Particles (SM3.0) 128,667 FPS
Perlin Noise (SM3.0) 126,964 FPS

Clocks were 875/2150/945. Somehow the gpu overclock resulted in poor memory overclock and 999 mem crashed the tests instantly, vmem was 2.075V.

The stated voltage was achieved together with the 1.2V vid-mod so I have no idea what voltage the card would run if you just flashed my modified bios without any mods. In case someone wants to give it a try, I put it online here:

http://www.hut.fi/~hjkauhan/9600mod.rom

If you try it out, please report what voltage you get. Just be careful with the 1.58 vgpu, the core reached 103C in multi-texturing test with a VF-900cu cooler.

I doubt the bios will help me, but thx i will try it.
Can you run atitool artifact scanner too at those frequencies?
Did you measure the voltage with DMM?

edit: the bios file you supplied is with the default voltage setting.

Atitool has never worked for me even with default settings with any of the three geforces I have (6800u, 8600gts, 9600gt). I gave it a go anyway and it crashed instantly when I started the artifact scan.

Here's a photo of the voltage reading in idle:

That's strange. I haven't tried it without the 1.2V vid mod though. When looking at the vid-table, going from 1.2V to 1.5V would require going from 0011000 to 0000000. So one explanation could be that when you have default settings ( 0100000 ), the bios switches the vid4 and 3 to "0" but they are "0" already so nothing happens. Could this explain what's happening here?

If it works like that, I could try out 1.1125V ( 0011111 ) which would (hopefully) result in 1.4125V ( 0000111 ).

edit: Ok, I didn't think it all the way through... we only have knowledge of vid2-5 resistors so I can't set 0011111. So I tried setting 1.15V ( 0011100 ) and with my modded bios the multimeter now shows 1.48V. Time for some benchmarks.

We should focus on OCP or something else,they are the main problems we meet.But dont give up so easily.
2-phase design is not so weak, Just think about 8800GT reference card,it's 2-phase design too!

When I try to boot with more than 1.2xx Volt with just the VGPUmod, the card shuts down immediately after a few seconds.

Jups, I'm having the card right here, voltmods ready. I can't share them for now, I first have a friend picking up the card and test out how it overclocks. They will be online soon, don't worry.

So still no-go on just a modified bios, then?
03-18-2008, 02:24 PM

I guess we are stuck here with OCP.
@Fatbird - have you found anything interesting out yet?

Nowhere on the internets is any information on how to mod the OCP on 9600gt. In fact many people have problems with factory overclocked cards on reference design which has been called the black screen - the same thing which happens when we slightly increase the voltage and try to up frequencies (and even when not increasing the voltage but upping the gpu/shader freq.).

Atitool artifact scan is a beautiful test to see the black screen in action immediately almost every time.

Got bored with my G92GTS which is overkill for my needs anyways, so I decided to downgrade and save some $$$ and ordered a Palit 9600GT. It's a non-reference btw.
I guess I'm gonna have to warm-up my soldering iron again. :p
03-20-2008, 01:50 AM

Nice!
But sad that it is not reference, then you would prolly come up with some ocp mod. :)
Anyways gratz and keep us posted.

Do you try voltmods ?

I think i found a place to pencil to increase vGPU, but when i make ~1.17v (and up, max i tried was 1.25) on GPU i have many artifacts in 3DMarks. 2D and Ati Tool Artifacts Scan are clear :confused:

If you're talking about the Galaxy ... I'm the one who was pciking up that card and seeing how it overclocked. Voltmods work perfectly, at stock clocks I'm able to go upto 1,67-1,7 volt before the screen goes blank.

Now running 850/2150/1120 stock cooling at 1,41v/2,1v

I have gotten this black screen with my BFG's OC version, 675/900. Seems to be 710 on the core is about max, and anything over 1800 shader is shaky. Wish the bios trick would work. I'm gonna see how they handle 1080p, and if I'm not happy, they might go in with spare parts for an SLI system I'll ebay. I'm thinking g92 GTS will perform similar with bios vmod/high clocks.

1080p run very good on 7300GT.

I was referring to gaming, havent tried movies yet. Today, for the 1st time ever since I got my 42, I finally got to hook up my pc while the woman was away. I have to say, I couldnt be happier with SLI performance at 1080p with these cards. 1920x1080 with 2xAA and 12xAF running a Vegas coop server and was averaging around 80fps. You know how shaky that game normally looks, and it was actually pretty smooth.

Set it at max resistance.
vMEM mod wouldn't do any good as these cards have Qimonda crap GDDR3 and vDDQ = vDD. Increasing memory vDD would only make it worse.

Stability is unlikely >1GHz with Qimonda RAM.

jan,
For the vGPU mod:
What's the resistance from pin#13 to ground on APW7088?
Are the points marked in green connected to pin#13?

edit:
vGPU mod: 20kΩ VR from either green spot to ground.

based on APW7088 Datasheet, this IC's used 3-bit DAC to drive the error aplifier of the output voltages.
so if you just change the FB resistance, the OVP will work, same as my POV 9600GT's
04-01-2008, 02:38 AM

akin,
The FB method would allow VGPU upto almost 1.4V before OVP hits.

20kΩ VR from either of the points I marked in green to ground in the pic ABOVE. Don't go above 1.35v and you should avoid over voltage protection from causing a crash.

For vGPUs higher than 1.35v a more complicated mod is needed. First step would be tracing where the marked pins (#11, #15, #21) lead. It might also be helpful to measure the resistance from each to ground.

I am afraid, I cannot. There is no way I can measure that specific pin with the lousy equipment I have. I will try to solder a wire to it tomorrow, so I can measure it. I just moved and dont even have a lamp, so I have to wait until tomorrow in order to see where I solder.

That's the downside of chips getting smaller, hehe

Pin35 is not OVP, I have tried

not even as high as they go

so currently I am on very good A/C air with both cards (S1 rev.2s) and water on the CPU here is a score that isn't my best or best yet :up: these will do 845/2112/1000 no problem w/ both on 1.3v (I believe) and no RAM mod

Just read through this thread. Has ANYONE managed to get the reference PCB mod to go above 1.45v or so? Going to put these cards under some dry ice and was hoping they'd scale to 1GHz+. Is it an OVP/OCP issue or a cooling issue? Haven't seen any definite answers yet which is disheartening.

I cannot get past 1.21V bedore the OVP kicks in with my reference design based card.

I tried a lot of different things without success and I think I will submerge the card in LN2 and get a decent card.

I have a pair of leadtek winfast 9600 gt extreme video cards. They are water cooled with danger den maze-5 blocks and coper mem syncs. Would the pencil mod in the last post work for my card? What voltage would you guys recommend? Last question: in the last post, the 3dmarks score of 13490, that is one card right? I have two cards and only 4000mhz c2d and I get 15500 with stock video cards?

so here is the dumb question...

how to trace it with the pencil, if you have the naked pcb between the contacts? :confused: :confused:

this is the exact layout on my palit 9600gt sonic. heating up my soldering iron now lolz.

but it will be a few days till i get my rig set back up. painting the chasis atm. will report in later.

1.3815v mod listed above confirmed working on palit sonic 9600gt.

benching 3dmark05 now at 900mhz core linked shaders at 21xxmhz wasn't paying attention to exact number on shaders. previous highest benchable core speed was 833mhz. but that wasn't gaming stable, after an hour or so it would freeze up requiring a hard reset. if i tried setting 845mhz or higher it would either lockup or blackscreen reboot.

so i'm happy to have found this thread while i had my machine tore apart for a paint job and was able to compare the pics to my card.

that rig is setup where i cant stretch the Internet wire to it. so for now i'm not going to run 3d06 or be able to post screenies. but it is almost done with 3d05 900mhz core so stoked. i'll wait a minute to give you my score.

that rig has a abit p35-e running a e2180@3.5 2gigs of tracers at 1050mhz.

had to break out a cat5 cord to see my score lol 19295 on 3dmark05 i made the second page out of all the 9600gt's whee!!!:bananal::bananal:

12425 on 3d06

does anyone know how to calculate the voltage?

i've an 88GT non reference layout using the same chip

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6004/vidwb7.jpg

the datasheet of the chip is here

DataSheet RT8802A

can anyone calculate my current voltage from the picture above and say me the settings for maybe 1.3 volt?

Can some one help me to find points for vGPU.
This is ASUS 9600 GT but with blue PCB.

Spacemaster,
Your card is reference design just with blue color. So basically you're SOL as the reference card has some serious problems with mods and load stability.
You could try the VID mod, but prepare to reverse to mod as extreme instability is more than likely...

Couldn't find any similiar PCB in this thread. I would prefer pencil mod over soldering. If You need a good macro shots of specific areas just tell.

Thank You in advance.

Edit: Gah, it's the same pcb as Vanilia on page 6, now only to find out where to smack it around a bit with a pencil.
