On stock air, you can get 972 or 985 GPU, 1050 mem with these mods easy

actually for a new card not too bad, riva doesn't support yet but the old standby's like ati tool and amd gpu tool work (with a little help from updated tool lib.) speeds are not the issue, so far no voltage in software though the card supports it.

I doubt the software voltage adjustments will be out in less than a month so I will hardmod mine as soon as my blocks are modded. (today at work..lol).

umm can this be also pencil vmod?

[DFI pit bull]

Thanks for the guide Monkeywoman, can't believe there are mods for this card so soon. Can't wait to try this on my powercolour when/if it arrives.

I'm not a vmod expert by any means, but by looking at it, I don't see why it couldn't be. Just shade in the spot with a lead pencil, the more lead, the less resistance and therefore more voltage? Or maybe I'm wrong.

thats looks great, I like how ATI facilitated the common modder by leaving those points all isolated :P seriously though, I'm doin' this mod before I even run my card, I'm pretty confident I can hit those solder pads

[Origin_Unknown]

i'd have to get someone to do that for me

Why?

Because if you mess up, there goes a $400+ video card? :P

If you view the image themselves, not on the page, they are larger (not much), for anyone wanting to see a little bit more detail.

pretty much ....

i managed to solder a small white unit before by fluke

Yup they do work. Here's a run with modded stock air cooler.

Nice clocks and score!

[Monkeywoman]

open a window and try 1Ghz

[Origin_Unknown]

would be great to know if 1ghz + is a go on wc

it doesn't fully support it but fan control and monitoring work just fine. overclocking in Riva only clocks the second card from what i have checked but like you said, AMD GPU Tool works just fine.

[Sav]

you use riva 2.06?

[T_M]

yes

[philbrown23]

can someone post pics of the back of their card on here? I'm going to do this, and I'm sure I have it right, but want to see it in action.
