I'll take a look when I get a chance, need to get a more precise soldering iron first.
has anybody tried to work a soft selector tool for ISL6327?? i just realized that the same IC is using the gigabyte X48-DQ6 for cpu , and with gigabyte tool u can select on the fly from windows cpu voltage.. so someone with programming tools might be able to code a similar tool for the vga(s)
Hi all
Im New here, and
First, im happy 2 be at this Forum :)
Second, sry for my not so perfect english
and
Third, i need help :(
But befor i begin...i wish Sergio the best with the new Baby :)
My second girl also born on the 31.12.09 :)
So, the thing is..i search Help for my GTX 285 PoV Rev.2, like alot know the 285 is a litel hard with volts, so the volts in my eyes are a litel 2 low, i saw alot mods here, but i dont know realy wich mod wold be the best for me, i just wold be happy 2 get my Core up, ive buyed extra a great WaterCool, and now max is just 730 Core, when i do 740 or 750 Core i allways crash at Benchmarks or Games like Crysis.
What i need, 2 get more Core ? and when i want more Core..musst i also get my Mem up, or its not a musst ? And when i make the Volt mod for the Core...so then the Shader will be also able 2 be clocked higher, or i need a extra mod again ?
I have best Solding Skills & Pacience, i do Solding now more then 14 Years, i did Sold alot Mobile Phones SMDs Tuning, over 36 PlayStation2 chips Solded, and alot more done, so at Solding i have best Skill, but like u see i am a noob at find out what to do, and what i need 2 get this so great like u guys.
My wish is 2 get Stabel 800 Core, so that my WaterCool can do her Job great, and so that i can be at 24/7
For all Help i wold be soo THANK full, ive tryed at alot Forums, i hope that i will find here more :help:
THX @Sergio for geting me in here :)
Thanks mate :up::up::up:Quote:

Is it that mod at Page 28 Thread 678 ?
If yes, so i just need sold there a resistor at the PCB ground ?
Sry that much questions....but in the deep of English language im a NooB...
OPC = Over Clock Power ?
10-1000 ohm means i can sold a 10 ohm or up to 1000 ohm ?
and what means vr/resistor ? is that a special one ?
I see that point at my GTX285, thats NP for me 2 sold, but i need 2 know wich part it is, maybe one can show me a exempel of this Part? so i know what and where 2 Buy.
OCP is Over Current Protection. :)Quote:

ok..Ty mate...
So my next step is 2 buy a 1000 Ohm Resistor ?
Yes. :)Quote:

That's a solid result, nicely done.Quote:

So that's good? :p My XFX card does 796/1728/1404 on 1.215v with no artifacts but the OCP kicks in once in a while ( I run 774/1620 to avoid that), but I've been too lazy to do the OCP mod because I thought I wouldn't get much higher clocks... How high do you reckon my gtx could do with 1.25v?
Not an expert on 285 overclocking but I guess at least over 800 core :DQuote:

Modded. You could most likely get yours higher with more voltage.Quote:

1720 shader strap is not stable.
and one think ididnt do is increase the core speed and ram speed, so i wonder if i had OC'ed them i would of been able to hit 1720 stable, what u guys think?
well i did it a second time with better results 1800 strap is not so bueno but 1764 is working , when before i copuldnt even hit 1692 strap , so cloks are as follow 780/1764/1400 core/shader/mem.
thanks for the nice info
and runnign F@H to check for stabillity 24/7 of course
Good results, running on water helps as the 200b's respond well to temperature. I'd recommend running some heavy 3D apps (crysis etc) to test stability.
Also as a side note, there's no need for the 'strap' after the shader speed. It's not a strap, its just a speed, so '1692' or '1692 MHz' is the way to say it.
Hi guys, I have XFX GTX 285 GX-285X-ZWFF and I can't overclock! Using stock cooling with adequate ceramic paste, 1x120cm blowing in towards the cards arse and one more directly above it. I know that vGPU is 1.15 but I dont know vRam. I want an easy and safe voltmod to reach 750 Mhz core and 1400 MHz ram. About the shader, people dont mention it coz they keep it linked with gpu clock or dont they touch it at all?
Also Bad Company 2 is a nice hella stresser :DQuote:

People do overclock the shader too, 1620 - 1728 is the normal range with 1.20 - 1.40 vGPU being the voltage range most commonly used.
:cool:Quote:

I have a GTX285 with parts missing (circled in red). Can you tell me what they're rated for (resistance/capacitance) and how I can return it to stock?

They are no missing they come like that from factoryQuote:

No, I'm saying that those parts ARE missing on my card and it doesn't work cause I got it like that. That's not my card I used it as a reference pic.Quote:

for all the missing resistors (blue+black in the ref pic) you can short the points with solder
hmm whys the smd cap missing.. dont have 285 anymore.. maybe someone here may tell you the value
if you want stock voltage: just have 1/3/11 bridged + black resistor
Actually I found out that at stock, those green resistors don't exist and the contacts are not connected. That photo was confusing me. I did short the black resistor but the orange capacitor at the bottom right is still a mystery to me. The one above it was broken so I had to desolder it as well. I'm getting 0.3v for some reason at POST and the card still isn't working.Quote:

I think about a year now....anyways now that I've revisited it I noticed some new developments. Mainly possible fixes to the issues I had when doing Napalm's mods to achieve better voltage. I never achieved anything higher than 1.24 on my cards...I never got to 1.26+. However after viewing this thread again, it would seem that there is another resister that Napalm found that needs to be penciled in order to drop ohm. He mentions that penciling in this spot will fix solid color screen locks (which is something I get alot) and also it will fix those who were not getting higher voltages after step 1...like me.
So has anyone done the new version of step 2? Does if fix results? Is this something I should do to achieve higher than 1.26 volts and fix my solid color screen lock ups?
I'm talking about his post here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=658
for me that link^ was a cure for solid color screens
step 2 definitely increases vcore.. though both vcore and cooling is the cure and cause for solid color screens.. a balance you have to find even after ocp mod
id say just sell your 285 and get a 480 and enjoy vcore mod via soft :up:
hah, I'd love to go and upgrade right now...but I'm in no position to do so :(
how low do I have to get that resistor/part? How many Ohms?
I'm on water so temperature should be okay, my max is around 46/47c on load. ...the solid color problems are VERY annoying.
I need to get it fixed!
thanks!
Hey Napalm, for step 2, it is safe to pencil in resistor to 10K ??
thanks
Well I know this is kind of a dead thread, but I am now seeing 1.28 to 1.29 vGPU now...vMEM is also better....my overclocking has improved. Though I am now running into a weird problem...a problem that I've seen happen before on my cards before mods....where the screen will split and freeze. I have SLI. Its a strange issue, I don't know what causes it...the screen with split. I'll keep at it.
Sup Orange i dunno about the SLI as i never used but i followed Napalms mods and also Crotales and worked as a charm my BFG GTX285 H2O OC still rocking at nice 803/1792/2970 my game clocks ;)
817/1792/3000+ for bench, over that i get solids even with mods

A reply! Hey!
Nicely done!
I have no soldering skills so...I have to pencil everything. My mods with the GTX 285 end with Step 2....I can't do the OCP or whatever mod...no skills :(
My temps are friggen great! but my cards are poop...at 1.28/29 volts...I'm not even stable at 775/1748/2800 ...I have to back it down quite a bit.
:(
ce stubborn orange! :) sorry for the late response.. thanks sergio
orange the 10k resistor i lowered to 5k and solid color screens were gone
give it a try it might help you
but if you want to gain more clocks youve got to do crotales ocp mod
use a ~1k~ resistor the way i did the ocp mod @ 1st post.. its easier :up:
Thanks Napalm! I will give that a shot...I'll take a look at the OCP mod, I'm not sure I can pull it all off with no solder skills :(
I'll try 5 ohm on resistor as well. I found it super easy to bring down resistance on that one.
Napalm
I lowered Step 2 resistor to roughly 5 ohms as you mentioned and now I'm seeing much better results with overclocking. I'm now at, what seems stable.... 765/1725/2800
I know, not the best compared to you 800 core guys...but I was having issues trying to get it stable before....lowering to 5 ohms did the trick so far.
I can run 3 loops of Vantage without issue.
I'm eyeing the OCP mod...but to be honest, I'm truly contemplating just going GTX 480 with water.
uhg...money. Computers are such money pits. haha
This thread is precisely what I was looking for, thanks for all who put in the hard work to make it! I have a question though- I have two MSI GTX285's, and while looking for a way to up the voltage and get above 680MHz core, someone on a different forum mentioned black versus red trim on the cards and that there were different ways to volt mod each. Looking at the pics in this thread, everyone has a black PCB, but mine is red.... can I still follow the guides here for my cards?
Napalm,
I don't get it...I was getting good results when getting Step2 resistor down to 5 ohms...but I still get solid color screen and freeze. I was able to run countless Vantage loops...and also did furmark and OCCT Gpu testing...and no solid colors, but the minute I load up a game and play for a few minutes, BAM! solid color / freeze.
Do I have to go even lower than 5 ohms on step 2 now?
it's so annoying.
orange youve got to do the ocp mod and step 3
since youre on water increased vcore from step 3 will help
do the ocp mod + step 3 and youll take it further
have someone do it for you
welcome napalm :up:Quote:

I did silver mod and bridged 1/2/3/4/5/11 and I only got 1.22v ....But when i ONLY bridged 1/2/3/11 got same 1.22v .....try many combination but cant get higher(also try pencil resistor ) :S ....why is that? is this OVP?
my card had the same so i went direct to the full vmod...Quote:

I dont wona do a hard mod because varanty void
guess a design thing saw many ppl doing the basic vid mod and getting difs volts, in ma case i have a BFG GTX285 H20 OC stock 729/1674/2780 loaded stock was 1.18vgpu and did the mod and get 1,21ish...so i went for the real thing and im gamming at 803/1792/3000+ vgpu 1,38loaded and vmem stockQuote:
