I recently volt modded my 9800 GTX. It seemed fine at about 1.3V but after about 3 hours it went up in flames.
I'm wondering if there is any chance of being able to repair it.

First, clean it up to give us a better view of the situation. As long as it looks like the card attended a barbecue, we won't be able to tell you much.
Just that much: Just because it looks bad, doesn't mean that a repair is impossible. The first problem that you'll have, most likely though, is where to get the replacement part(s).

I'd like to bail you out, but I gotta say...
it's dead.
Alright, thanks every one. Now I have a reason to buy a 4890 in a couple weeks.
There is a repair part to fix exactly this problem in newegg.com for 179.99

yes
How did you mod it?
How did you measure the voltage?
Cooling?

I used this mod.http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...8&d=1207145797
I measured the voltage using one of the SMD capacitors circled in this picture.http://shrani.si/f/2t/Eu/4DFq8Vki/image07.jpg
The cooling was stock.(probably not such a great idea)
you were measuring the voltage at load correct?
Yes, in the few hours before it burned up the biggest load it ever had was the Vista Basic theme.
May not be impossible to fix, just little more challeging than normaly

That part is de facto the first thing to crap out on G92 board. I had one GT blow this way and I've seen several cards have died this way online.
Too bad fets of that form factor are a major pain to solder. In and out.
With only one soldering iron atleast.
edit:
Wait? It died on desktop, in idle?
Sounds like it was not vmod related. That exact part simply cannot be overvolted to death and in idle it cant choke on current either.

I'd take out the mod and RMA.

You were not supposed to see this.
I would cut the GPU out and make it a keychain....
Brother does your nic go with this thread.
That card is burnt and it is toast!
