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 ;)
