Yes that is all you have to do. It increases the voltage for the GPU in 2D mode and 3D mode. For some reason it also helps with the memory. Before I did it to my card my voltages were.Originally Posted by Nubius
1.45 3D
1.34 2D
The highest my memory would pass the optimal test was 1.03.
After I raised the voltage to
1.65 3D
1.54 2D
The memory would pass the optimal test at 1.09.
If I tested the memory manually the highest I could get before mod was 1.13 after mod it was 1.19.
This is the same mod that is in one of the other threads. I just tried to make it clearer for you.
Raising the voltage gave me a better optimal GPU test from 560 before mod to 579 after mod.
I couldn't keep it like that though because I got green artifacts in 3DMark2003. If your gonna do this you really should have better cooling then the stock heatsink.

Play it very safe and go very slow turning the rheostat. If you go too low with the resistance on the rheostat you will kill your video card from too much voltage. Make sure before you turn the computer on you measure the resistance at the place with the white arrow to ground. It should be fairly close to 500 Ohms. Mine measured 418 Ohms before the mod, yours might be slightly less then 500 also.
Once you start up the computer, measure the voltage at one of the places I marked on the picture. It doesn't matter which one you measure at. It should be around 1.2-1.3 volts in 2D mode and then it should rise to around 1.45 in 3D mode.
