    Gigabyte 8600GT Vmods

    Bought this card about a week ago, firsts oc's only 650Mhz gpu stable.

    Got some artifacts with only 10Mhz more.

    Tried to look for some vmods for this card and nothing, only found a guide for bios mod on gf cards.
    Tried out and put 1.5v on core ( default is 1.32). Tested and yet the same artifacts at the same speed.
    Incresead to 1.8v (saw the max volts in shaminos guide) and yet nothing...

    What did i do?

    Start searching for the PWM controller in the card.



    and get the datasheet to NexSem :



    Measure resistance between FB and GND :



    wich is 50K. Got some pot's in home but i can't find vgpu and vmem measure points. So i calculated it

    Vgpu(new) = Vgpu(old)*(Rgpu/Rgpu(new))

    Set the pot to 40K and that gives 1.6vgpu since this core has 1.32v default (saw it in NiBiTor)



    Don't wanna end the warranty for now, so i grab a grabber...



    A little bit more mem refrigeration ( got wc on gpu )



    Results :



    Pushed a little for the mems



    And the final benching results :



    Tell you guys one thing, . Only with 1.6Vgpu hit 800Mhz in core, 783Mhz benching in most of 3D01 tests...

    Missing VMem but tomorrow going to google for the chips and see the max V they can handle...

    We got card i think....

    And this 148 still amazes me , only 1.6vcore and benching at 3.1Ghz... Still got buy a C2D....

    Some updates on mems for the next week maybe (got a lot exams this week... )
