Please post 7900GT / GTX overclock results

OMFG... I can't believe people are having problems getting conductive paint or soldering a little wire (its soo easy and YES you can remove after soldering).

LISTEN CAREFULLY: Even easier than the conductive-pen mod!!
1. Get some tape... clear or masking or whatever. Apply around the two points, but not on them.
2. Get ALUMINUM foil.. straight from the kitchen.. that's right.. cut a little piece, and roll up as a wire.
3. Apply aluminum foil between two contacts.. because you masked out everything else there should be no danger in getting a short.. put some more tape over to hold everything.. YOU'RE DONE.

And you didn't need a WIRE (that everybody seems so afraid of) or conductive-pen (which everybody is so confused about)

Since how hard can it possible

The mod rocks I have only done a 1.4v mod will try the 1.5 one neext

OMG all I can say is thanks and good work guys!! I read this last night and tried the 1.4 mod today on my two evga 7900 gt co's and am able to get 640/1750 NP with stock heatsink and no ram sinks. Ill be water cooling these babys real soon and will try higher mod then. I just wanted to post and say thanks. I think it would be great if all the people in here would post what drivers they are using and if they see a difference between drivers while over volting. Also I did the voltmod is there anything else I should do by way of tweaking or bios that would take greater advantage of this mod?

I am still wondering if its worth flashing to the newest 7900GT bios out there, instead of the one that shipped with my card.

Ok I have been able to run 3dmark 05 @ 625/1800 and the best I can get is 1330 score which isnt much higher than I got before I volt modded them doesnt seen right for sli Im wondering if Im cpu limited since my mobo will only run at 220 fsb and 2t timings.

looks like the 7900gt's have high memory timings... would explain the extremely high oc's and the fact that 7900gtx at similar clocks outperfoms in benchmarks... anyone wanna post some 3dmark05 compares to prove my point?

1.4V-1.5V (depending on how much cooling you have) seems to be the best for 24/7.

Shamino got up to 745, with just 1.5V. In contrast, very few extra Mhz with 1.6V and 1.7V (nearly 800 stable)

It also seems that good air cooling is more than sufficient. I have a 500g 1U copper heatsink from 9800pro days that I could put to good use ;)

Did the 1.4V mod. The coolbits autodetect detected @ 666. Exactly 100 over the 1.2V.

Hmmm nice number :eek: :D

Do you guys think that 1.5V would be too much for 24/7 with a NV Silencer 5 and good case cooling?

670 was a no go, so i am just keeping it @ 666. Currently testing the memory now, so far up to 970 so far :) I am sure it will go even further.

I have my 7900GT @650/1800 with 1.45V and the NV Silencer 5. The temperature hit mid 70s when playing BF2 @1280x1024 all settings maxed out.

I had to modified the BIOS to increase the Fan speed to 100% in 3D mode. The max temperature reduced to 70 but the fan is now stuck on 100% all the time. :stick:

I think the modded BIOS is creating problems. I can hear that the fan speed increased to 100% from the original 40%, but why in the hell is not going back to 20% when the 3D session is over? :mad:

ive done the MOD 1,4v today , before the MOD i had 29c idle and 33c FULL now with MOD i have 30/31c idle and 34/35c full load . i mesure with multimeter and i got 1.39v

i try 650mhz in coolbites and past test :D

however with this waterblock the memorys get hoter than naked , i need to find a good pads , because this ones dont make contact with waterblock

SPLMANN

My results so far (600/900) nice round numbers :)
Everything is stock, stock cooled, bios with no volt mods (yet)

I want to break 5k in 06 and 10k in 05!!! :(

PS: PowerStrip is so much better than coolbits...

RivaTuner is quite good.

i thought it didnt work with the 7900 series?

Its a XFX XT (550/1630)

My scores seem to suck abit compared to others, is my cpu oc limitting me?

Sam do you bench with so mutch stuff loaded in systray !?

Norton is enabled ?

Kill all of that stuff when benching ;)

Mascaras, you are with speeds over the GTX's !! Hehehehe :banana:

( tou mortinho por instalar o WC e fazer o mod tb :slobber: )

Norton just came up after I had benched. Will clossing msn/speaker volume really improve things though?

I'll format once I find the cards max and do a final benchy ;)

all helps !

you can even kill your explorer ;)

yes it will
