Nvidia 8800GTS Vmods

Very same way I tested my card, but like I said, you should first try the choike modification because it has allready been confirmed as working.

Adding parallel chokes is nonsense, the total inductance of 2 parallel chokes are lower and HF voltage spikes just growing. This is the basics of elecronics - I've no idea why Hipro posts this - the only effect of such mod is appreciable reduced filtering. If we remove regular chokes and replace it with tne new ones - it could work, but:

- the power converter uses very-high frequencies, so the new chokes must have HF-ferrite core, otherwise it will heat up very-very-very fast and even could damage the whole card. I have much experience of replacing chokes at the Palit 7900GS and I know what I'm talking about, it's very hard to find suitable ferrites
- you need an oscillograph to estimate the effect of such mod's, or we can't determine was it good or bad for the card.
- the new case-free chokes will whistle at every scroll step in IE and this is really annoying.

Second, I don't think Shamino has a GTS around, but as far as I can see, adding resistor over the caps I've showed might also work out. I don't know what value you'll need, try variable resistors instead.

He said about "3-resistor-removing" at GTS - maybe he knew what EXACTLY these resistors are?
