    Idea on gainward MX440 voltmods

    I am still looking for a vmod for my gainward MX440..I got bored so i started googling the name of everychip i could find..I found 2 that had to do with voltage regulating.

    and

    If you want to see any more images up close of a spot..just use MS paint or something and put a ring around it.

    Hoping some of the vmod gurus can help me out here

    About the APL1581 i think you have to solder a pot between the pins 1(vsense) and 2(gnd).

    About the second controller i think it's the same thing. Pot between pins 1(adjust) and 2(output).

    Somebody correct me if i'm wrong
    And it will be super if somebody help me with the voltmod on my mx440 too

    Maybe i was wrong about the L1084. The pot should be soldered on the both sides of this resistor :



    Maybe it is one and the same but i don't have that card and i can't see from the picture if it is that case


    About the APL1581 i think i was right.

    Ah I got a MX440-SE in my hands which I want to mod as well. It uses APL1084 regulator - which is basically the same as the one your board has. Although I was not able to find the vmod for my PCB, I've found a vmod for a card which uses the L1084 regulator. It's a 440SE 64-bit card. The vmod can be found here:
    http://overclockers.ru/news/newsitem...&id=1074469571 about 2/5 of the way down. Search by "GF4 MX440SE 8x" to find it quick.

    On my card, I was not able to find the respective resistors. Maybe someone can help us both?

    This was my MX440 Vmem mod:



    (use 20k pot)

    But I think yours is different. In any case, the voltage regulator for the ram is

    ATC
    1184
    01291


    (it's mosfet-similar, 5 pins, in front of the videocard at the right side)

    No, don't worry.

    First of all locate the capacitor where read memory voltage. Read @ default, then do the mod at the videocard. Set the pot to a high value and check the voltage...increase/decrease the resistance and check if voltage change...

    Good luck

    Interestingly my Gainward MX 440 is the 128MB version and has an ISL chip on it.

    Regards

    Try the mod.

    Anyway it consist in increase/decrease the R, so if the mod wasn't in the right place, there is no possibility to damage it.

    Unfortunatly, my MX440 is dead some days ago
