Yup, found it, a 100k variable resistor from pin 4 to ground should do the trick.
Rest of the card:

Can you follow the trace from pin 4 (FB) to the resistors or contact points? Not so easy to mod direct to PWM.
Hi.
Can anyone point me out to a guide for increasing my 3850 voltages using software?
It would be apreciated.
Also ATI tool isnt detecting my graphics cards, I have the latest beta version and it doesnt detect them. And if anyone knows how I can overclock my second card beyond what CCC allows, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
try a different version of atitool, 0.26 is usually the best. If it wont work use rivatuner. You cant increase voltage via software, closest you can do is flash a BIOS with a touch more voltage if you can find one.
ohhh, my pictures wrong. R1270 don't remove - remove end replace R640 (bottom C657) I correct it now in my post with pictures. Sorry :(
I'm remove R605&R615 and replace R640&R604 resistors to 330kOhms and get 1.34V in 2-D and 1.4 in 3-D on trimer 100Kohms. Trimer set to 47kOhms - 1.46V in 3D and 1.4V in 2-D
Awesome, :clap: pictures please! I may do it myself.
Did you actually remove those resistors or just bridge them with 300kohm?
I need some help :)
Before i solder anything and make it really bad :P
I've got 2 Saphirre HD3870 Ultimate (blue PCB)
Where should i solder my VR for VGPU mod ?
Here is the picture

Thxs a lot for the amazing job you have done here !
I'm a bit tired and don't want to read all the pages lol. Can someone tell me if there are any software programs that you can up voltages with? I remember using ati tool with my x1950xt to do so.

With 1.62 volt on air, what are your temps on that card?
With 1.5v under a modified Arctic Cooling Xtreme 2900 I get 1GHz on the core, and a load temp not exceeding 48C. I was a bit concerned pumping more than 1.6 volts into it, maybe I could give more considering the temps?

Temp around 75/80°c, room around 30°c .. (because of my SS...)
my SS is runing near the comp
really cold temp in Sweden you have :eek:
Because he have only 873Mhz on memory...
I think theses scores are correct... :)
PS : 900 default clock, and 873Mhz set?! why? you flashed the card with wrong frequency? :D
Yup, they are correct...I don't care that much about cheating ;)
The memfrequency is lower because I flashed the Gigabyte card with a Gecube bios that was unlocked. I edited the bios to default 850MHz but GPU-Z still shows the factoryclock. The Gigabyte 3850 have Hynix 1.4ns chips, and Gecube have Hynix 1.1ns chips but it works perfect.:up:
would any one have a dead card with an RT9619A chip on it they would like to part with? if so please PM me and we could work something out :)
Does anyone know vmem for sapphire blue PCB?
