9700/9800 core voltage

Yeah, you can see the pcb solder points on each side of the cap mounts. You can still measure, but they're all laid out different, so nobody knows whats what. Once I get my mobo back, I'll sit down w/ a volt-meter and try to figure it out.

EDIT

Anyone else have any info to add? I would like to take it to 2.0v and leave it there for as long as its in my rig, but no one seems to have run more than 1.9v day in/out....

Hey STEvil.

I don't know if the caps/vregs will last long when giving the card over 2V, but I personally worry too much about that. Before I tried to cool the vregs better I used up to 2,09V to my 9800p.

But I did not get the glitches away... vreg cooling helps and it does not hurt to put some fans blowing along ya card...

Cool all well and you 'll be safe, I feel

Not one thing on my card gets past 40c right now... aside from the memory chips which might get to about 43c.. heh.

I set it to loop 3dmark and went away for an hour, came back, and nothing was hot.. I think the 3 120+cfm deltas blowing right next to it help a bunch.. lol.

to 2.0v I go! Maybe i'll make 450 at this rate... 8-)

EDIT

Checked your 21,683 score out and @ 430mhz im 5.3fps away from your nature score.. on my KT333 board.. hehe.

I call it well cooled with airdryer sound

The score is with tbred. Do you get this rate also with a tbred???
It depends on the driver set, and pci/agp clocks too.

And nobody said kt333 boards aren't fast

[STEvil]

Yes, T-Bred @ 2300mhz for 135.9fps or so.. 8-)

3.6's, 192fsb/whatever the agp divider is on kt333 8-)

Going to a b-day party tonday/night.. think i'll leave it at 1.9 until I get my nF2 board in so I can really push the FSB around 8-)

[SAE]

AGP div is 1/2. PCI 1/4.

Nature score depends mainly on the graphics clocks

When I get my new 9800p I'll mod that one too hoping to get higher core clocks

Scores gonna rise again... if I only had a dsl/cable connection I already would have dl aquamark

Edit: Have fun at the party... and do not drink more than u can take stably

[STEvil]

I downloaded aqaumark over 56k @ 26.4k, hehe.

I'm nearly dont gathering parts for my switch.. woohoo 8-)
