Well.....all good things come to an end right?
I had everything going for a good bench tonight. Re-did the vgpu mod. 1.5v was going fine I tested it. Had no more issues @ 720Mhz in canyon flight like before. Powered down and did the vmem mod. Many said that after the vmem mod the mosfets got very hot so I sinnked them with ceramique. Got back into windows started 06, set the clocks @ 720/2050 to start. It was all going very very well...
.... until middle of the second test with the two lights and the trees. I had my case open and it faces me. I started to smell a VERY strong burning smell and the screen went completely ape. Instantly I thought "Oh
." well a split second after that the mosfet that I sinked had a lil flame going under it. ROFL. I clicked off the computer about a second after that.
Needless to say the card is dead as a doornail.
It sucks and I am really bummed butlike this happens when you run things 600Mhz past their rated spec with +0.2V
Would have been an amazing run too. Oh well. I have a nice paper weight now and a lil story.
