    Need help with a voltmod for ECS 8400gs

    Hi guys im trying to find out which points to use to voltmod my ECS 8400gs.
    Looking for the Vmem mod and Vgpu mod.

    Here is a picture of the back side of the videocard


    If you could please show the Vmem and Vgpu measurement points also where to attach Variable Resistors to increase the voltages to memory and gpu.

    Thanks guys

    first of all, i apologise for bumping an old thread but i just want to help others which have the same or similar cards
    no, it's not a standard card like many others

    other cards have two RT9214 IC's for gpu and memory voltage regulation

    but ECS 8400GS doesn't have RT9214 IC's
    on the back right side of the PCB there are two IC's:

    RT9218
    74ACT08

    in RT9218's datasheet we can see that there is just one FB pin and so that means that this is just a gpu voltage regulator

    measured resistance between FB pin (pin 12) and GND (pin 3) is cca 1000 ohm's
    that means that we need a 20kohm VR for voltmod

    after soldering a 20kohm VR between pin 12 and pin 3 vGPU mod is done

    default clocks are: 460/920/333
    with 2V on GPU i can get: 940/1760/510 benchable

    cooled with Thermaright HR-05 SLI/IFX
