So where did you buy your conductive pen/ink?

You can buy silver paint from electronic shops. I'm not using it right now. I use different method (Wire to ground from D511).

One nice product:

And by the way, congrats on the promotion, NickS

That card is really a very nice bang for the buck. I would have gotten one if I didnt buy the SLi setup.

very nice card!

I ordered mine from woot.com and just got mine today. Paid $145 for my 7900GS. Ordered two, but one of them is defective, so returning the broken one.

In the meantime, I replaced the stock cooler on the good one with a VF900 kit, and did the 1.4v vmod. Currently benching at 655/880 will post some more later.

Hard to tell...it can be used to repair rear window heating systems for cars.

Yes. This will work for sure!

Nice results... I have the MSI version of this card on order ($190 on eBay)... i'll post some results when I get my system set up.

[NickS]

Same. Got mine of woot. Max I could get was 1700 on RAM, no ramsinks. Stock cooler too. 525 core but I didn't want to push it any further on stock coolin. Gave me about 8563 in 05 with a 3000+ @ 2.5GHz

ive just been browsing a lil and im seeing that the pre-order price for the 7950GT is 260 euro :/
That price is bound to go down once their available wich will also make the 7900GS drop in price.

so 1.4 u connect only the purple right ?not the yellow and red with it?

[EnJoY]

SF3D, can you actually show pics of your card after the modding, highlighting what was done?

[Miwo]

You connect the left end of resist D511 to ground point for 1.4v

Here is a picture from the big 7900GT vmod thread


To make the circuit connection I used this. Local B&M Radioshack carries it

thanks for the help. any chance u know what ur actual voltage was? doesnt really matter but just curious.

[Miwo]

hmmm I am having some strange problems with my card....
my memory clocks are getting progressively worse as I increase the core speed / voltage. I remember with the default heatsink, I was able to hit 892 memory and pass Deep Freeze on 3D06 without any issues.

After switching to a VF900 and a few vmods, I am at 1.55v and have hit 700 Core. If I bench 700/660(stock memory), it passes Deep Freeze fine, but if I even do 700/800 Deep Freeze craps out, and I get a flickering black screen to/out of desktop.

So whats going on....does my card have a bad memory controller or something? Or is increase in VCore causing a drop in voltage on memory? dunnnoo....

Push it further man! .

I got an MSI 7900GS in my PC (got it off woot), buying a waterblock for it today. Does 500/800 on stock air STABLE no mods, havn't pushed it any further yet. Good luck with yours .

What block are you getting? I hear that a lot of blocks mounting systems are incompatible. The screw holes on my mcw50 do not fit but it looks like the MCW55-FXKIT will come pretty close so I ordered it. Should arrive today.

[NickS]

MCW55, with the 6800/7800 mounting kit. It should work, these cards have the same holes as the 6800/7800 iirc. If it doesn't I'm sure I can rig it on there somehow .

I have Swiftech MCW50 + FX kit and it fits perfectly.

I still have some lagging problem in games and 3dMark 05 /06. I have't found the reason.

[DCR]

Got any '06 and '03 marks?

[SF3D]

Here you go

Nice, thanks!

That seems pretty damn good. These are SLI ready too...hmmm...

I am going to watch prices on these.

Of course, that is OC'd with a much better processor than I'll have, but...

[Exedy]

nice marks man

whats the max clocks without mods?

[EnJoY]

It's in the first post, 580/1480

[SF3D]

Max clocks are 610/1800 without mods.

My fx kit fit perfectly. Too bad the fittings I have don't work with my tubing ordering new fittings now.

Anyone else notice how bad the stock heatsink is? I pulled off the factory heatsink and there are grooves in the heastsink. Running a fingernail across it you can definetly feel them.
