    Photos of my 7800GTX Vmods

    Well,

    This was my first VMod, it could have gone more smoothly, but I think I did okay, I moved them to the edge of the pcb because they were too hard to access on a computer inside of the case.

    I had the fastest 32M Opteron time for about 1/2 day, and I'm damn proud of it

    Here's another photo from a different angle, I took out my cards today and spent a little time to coat those exposed trimpot legs with liquid electrical tape, that stuff is awesome! Took the photos first though!

    Looks very clean bro.

    Might want to consider putting something thats non-conductive between those resitor legs and the boards PCB. Hate to see a short-circuit. Cut those resistor legs in half before your next vmod journey.

    Hey thanks, I had originally done the mod the way viperjohn showed it with the potentiometer legs soldered directly to the pcb, that's why they are so long.

    After taking out the cards yesterday I coated the exposed legs with liquid electrical tape, thanks for the advice!

    Why hasn't the Core Frequency increased that much. 550Mhz seems low for a watercooled vModed GTX

    That's a really nice vmod job. I especially like the placement of the pots at the edge of the board for tweaking-friendliness.

    One of my cards is a really poor clocker, they used a different voltage regulation IC than i've seen on most it was a really early card, the gpu voltage droops under load unlike the other card.

    The good one does about 635 no delta on peltier @ 6C loaded and could probably do better w/ some more tweaking.
