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

on the 7800GTX's the stock 2d voltage is 1.2v and the 3d voltage is 1.4v. Your Vgpu should increase to about 1.4v once the card enters 3d mode
