How to use

1. Place the 'MSI_GTX260L_Voltage_Tool.bat' in your rivatuner folder.
2. Double click the 'MSI_GTX260L_Voltage_Tool.bat' enter the HEX value for the by you wanted voltage. (You can also lower the voltage, see the datasheet for all offsets)
3. Make sure you typed the right HEX value and enter 'Y' or 'yes' and press enter.
4. Check the commands that will be run and press enter.
5. Check the voltage with an multimeter on the card
6. Overclock the hell out of the card (don't forget the ocp mod(credits to hipro5)
7. If you are running into stability problems caused by memory, try to vmod your memory to. This can only be done by an hard-mod.

Hipro5 ocp mod

Now I wish I could solder like grandpa hipro5

Thanks for the guide/software!

The ocp mod isn't that hard, you only need to vmod the total IMAX. So that is only 1 thing to solder. Instead of 3.

Just edited my post away. Didn't read it right

Thanx alot Neil, for making this, and the great support you gave us.
I really appreciate it that you shared this with us for the contest. It worked really well, we experienced no problems at all with this tool.

Great job on this one!

It works perfectly, we were running 1060 core without any hard mods at all

[TheKarmakazi]

Very cool tool, thanks for sharing

Shouldn't this work with any card with the same IC? Seems to be a nice solution, I remember "someone" raising his OVP limit by 0.006V at the time, each mod taking a half an hour.

If the address of the chip is the same on his card it should work. If it has a different address I can change the address for him.

hmmm, we ran 1050Mhz after "messing" with the afterburner here at home.. also software.

Afterburner only goes to 1,3v, or did you 'change' the software?
This goes to 1.8v.

And you only need to install rivatuner, no other cr*p. But everyone is free to install what they want.

which voltage regulator is used by that card?

Team Finland also used this program during MOA 2009 EU Finals.. worked great!

I made a sli version:

Didn't test it yet. Feel free to try.

i find it suprising that MSI would allow competitors to load files onto the competition rigs....could someone explain how that worked?
otherwise great stuff here...hardmods are really bad for warranties

[Barr3l Rid3r]

Does anybody knows about vmem for this card?

[cowie]

thanks for the tool snot app.
maybe with a change in bat file name it will work with the 275 Lightning' yes?

as for the ram its size and rated speed will limit it.
+ as for the ocp mod (imax) only pencil needed

probably.

does anyone have a gtx 260 lightning to test gputool on? i added voltage change control for the gtx 275 lightning and wonder if it works for the gtx 260 lightning too

I have a 260 lightning, link to the software, and ill test it

I have an Asus 285 TOP with the same IC but the tool doesn't work... Anybody help me?

[dinos22]

you did?
i had it on my USB stick but was told we are not allowed to use anything

[EL RICHARDO]

Does it need different codes to work with my Asus 285 TOP? How to find the correct ones?

Dude.. check the date of my post EU FINALS
