8800GTS 512Mb (G92) vMods

[K404]

please explain this to me a little more carefully...i really don't like obviously voiding my warranty and if what you say is correct then a simple stripe of conductive paint accross the top the the relevant resistors would achieve the same removal of OCP.
to my thinking removing the resister will not be the same as bridging it...removed the circuit should be broken due to connections literally missing and therefor almost infinate resistence in those circuits disables the OCP...however bridging the resisters with wire or paint will result in almost no resistence being offered and the circuits will remain intact...

so how is bridging the resisters anything like removing them?

please excuse if i've misunderstood the intricacies involved here as i have no electronic background whatsoever..

if anyone can work out how to disable OCP without voiding the warranty i'll be very pleased
(at this point i'm also not sure if these GTS512mb cards have the same capability in terms of removing OCP will allow LN2 voltages without further issue)

I too was confused by that comment.

its not two different things
remove no current at all
short 100 current floqw
so im lost on that comment as well

I think that if you decrease resistance by soldering another resistor (or Cu wire) in parallel you are raising the OCP threshold. OCP won't kick in until much higher current flows. If you get the right value resistor in there you can raise OCP, but still allow some level of protection (probably a good thing). Just soldering a Cu wire or using a conductive pen will raise the OCP threshold to a level where you probably will never have to worry about it anymore.

Removing the resistor completely removes OCP.

Both end up giving you the same result, but do it in different ways.

This is what I've gathered from all my readings on here and other forums as well some PMs w/ some very knowledgeable people. I also have a B.S. in Computer Engineering.

I don't know this to be fact, but it seems to make sense. In any case take it w/ a grain of salt.

No stop confusing people. If you remove the resistor, the circuit is broken, and the primarion contoller never gets a signal from that circuit to trigger OCP so OCP is removed. If you short out the resistors, you would increase the signal the primarion controller gets, by lowering the resistance, and most likely lowering the OCP point. The card may not even boot. Do not bridge the resistors.

oh **** Im so sorry for that- do not short the resistors! I was utterly wrong with that information. I removed my comment.

half-assed excuse: it was very early morning and I would have been tired.
