I have a boring old Zotac 9500GT sitting in my back up rig and I'm bored now so I feel like its a great opportunity to break out the soldering iron.

this card is passively cooled, and when not ghetto cooling modded gets up to 90C load. fortunately, I replaced the TIM with AS5 and strapped a 92mm fan onto it and now i have 52C load!

OK i now i have some IC numbers because i know those are important.

this is the back PCB that I have:


and here are the locations of the IC's:


i have a feeling that the one in the top right is Vmem and the one on the left is the Vcore. the number of the LEFT IC is:

PKCBP
74ACT08

the numbers on the one on the RIGHT are:

uP6161S14
VGK96U


IC on the left data sheet
http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/data...ukk71ktuwy.pdf



uP6109ASA8



one inside purple circle:
AT24C16B

datasheet: http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datashe.../AT24C16B.html

also, i found a semi-helpful thread here on XS that is done on a different revision of my card.

it refers to the IC labeled uP6161S14: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=196776

Any help is appreciated!
