Hi,

Having a bit of a problem with the smd grabber vcore mod i'm doing on my 9700. For some reason when everything is connected i cant get a resistance less than 8300 ohms. But when i take the mod...

btw just a thought,
have u tried applying additional cooling to the heatplate at the back of the card? It gets quite hot and cooling it can help the IO components to the RAM.

If you have, did it...

well i had a quick read about the pencil trick, though unlike the 8500 mod there doesnt seem to be much room around this resistor to draw a pencil trace.

I'll give it a go anyway when i get home...

ahh i see,
will go and read some more then.

Thanks,
Jon.

well according to this shot (a pic of catch22's card) i cant see anything connected to the resistor you or I mentioned (though the pic is kinda fuzzy)

We really need catch22 himself (or someone...

hmm, which one is it then?

could you goto the rage3d forum link u showed me, get the first (clean) pic of the 9700 and draw onto it a pointer to the relevant resistor? that would help immensely.
...

here's the pic...

ok thanks,

can u confirm that it is the 2nd pin (from left) of the indicated chip
(green line)

or is it the 2nd resistor in the group of 3 resisters? (green circle)

Hi,

I've been reading up on the different vmem mods for the 9700 and it seems that the vref is set too low for a decent overclock (1.25v stock). But i havnt been able to find any definitive ways...
