This is realy great Hipro...thank you....Hardmods is exactly what i need right now. i actely also found out the thing about the mem, but needed to test it on a 3rd XTX before i was sure

you are the best

You're welcome......

I have the photos BUT I forgot them on my digicam in my working place with all that benching today.......I'll post them tommorow........

EDIT: I think Gorillakos took some photos today just for example......IF he is in now.....

**GoriLLakoS** · 03-14-2006, 03:05 PM

I don't have them....they weren't good and i deleted them....

@GHZ...i know about the holes...

i am working on new cans right now....but it's too difficult to make a good solid one for Vga's...

**kiwi** · 03-14-2006, 03:08 PM

Can't wait them

**Hell-Fire** · 03-14-2006, 08:20 PM

I think you deserve some title other than Legend as the wealth of knowledge and input you have betrothed to the community over the years is unmeasureable.

Thank you Hell-Fire.....

**blind_ripper** · 03-15-2006, 09:37 AM

hipro whene are u gone show us the hardmod

so wee can begin benching sub-zero to

**hipro5** · 03-15-2006, 09:53 AM

NOW.......This is "almost" my maxed out frequency as for this VGA after the mods......

It was done with the DOTHAN at only 2970MHz due to finished LN2.......

When the VGA showed -84*C on ATItool, it started artifacting so I lowered the cascade's temp......

Some updates about the mods.......NOT good photos though but if anyone could upload some good pics, I could redo them.......

You will need 2 x 50KOhms trimmer for the mods(10KOmhs was not good)....

You also have to find YOUR OWN voltage on the VGA......
Mine works with no more than 1.76VCore.......

VDDCI was preset at 1.75Volts during boot......I mean trimm the trimmer at it's MAXED Ohmage, then solder it and then trimm it at 1.75Volts.......DON'T change after that the VDDCI within ATItool........You'll not gain much if any - test it a bit though.....

Trimm the VCore at 1.35Volts MAX when VGA boots or else it wont boot.......If it doesn't boot, try to trimm it back.....Measure and change the VCore within ATItool for more.......FIND your MAX VCore......

Fire up your cascade AFTER you are into Windows and AFTER you have given more VCore and a bit higher frequency on Core and Rams.....OR else artifacts(cold bug) will hit you......When your cascade starts to lowering temp( @ -50*C), give your VGA more frequency on core and on rams......FIND your MAX lower temp on your cascade depending on you VGA........

EDIT: If you take a good look at the first and second photo, you'll see that I have replaced one tiny resistor(500Ohms) coz the mods were done on the VGA as is now and not on the table......BE CAREFULL about these tiny parts.....They are very delicate.........

**s e t h** · 03-15-2006, 09:58 AM

thank you hipro.
i've been waiting for this for a long time
here's a pic of my last setup for fun

edit. would you know if this is possible to test with a pencil mod?

**Waxman** · 03-15-2006, 10:01 AM

Well Hipro, those pics are a little bit blurred.

I'm unable to get the right point of the vcore mod.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Yes I know......That digital zoom sucks........If anyone could upload some nice pics of the area on the VGA, I could redo them so as to be OK......
