Hello to all, this is my very first post! I have a quick question in relation to my XFX 7800GTX. I have never completed a vmod on any piece of hardware until this card. I am a very keen and avid computer user, also a computer technition, and are confident when it comes to soldering. I studied this mod very carefully and conducted it only last week. I used Viper John's method, and it works perfectly, although I'm a little unsure about the voltages. I used the exact components shown and soldered them in exactly the same places. After booting successfully I tested voltages while sitting idle in windows, and it shows the following:

Vmem: 2.165, Vcore: 1.285

From what i've seen im happy with the mem voltage, which is around what everyone else has from what ive seen on many forums. But everyone is talking about a core voltage of 1.4 @ stock. I'm not even getting 1.3v. Are ppl talking about voltage while the card is running a 3d app? or when idle in windows? Just to clear up a few things... Sorry for the n00b questions as I'm unsure and dont really want to fry it if i dont have to. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark
