8800GT voltage mods

[largon]

so turn clockwise or counterclockwise?

Basically it doesn't matter as turning the VR the wrong way does absolutely nothing. You need to tune down the resistance (from ~14.5Ω) between the solder points in order to increase vGPU. Easiest way would be to measure the resistance and make sure it's around 15Ω, then power on the system and tune the VR until satisfactory vGPU is reached.

also should I change multimeter from ohms setting to voltage now?

Yup.
That's if you're going to measure vGPU.

is the best place to measure the vgpu on the solder points I made?

No, the solder points have nothing to do with vGPU voltage - except ofcourse via the mechanism the mod works.
vGPU measuring points are the violet points in this pic.


btw, this your 1st vmod?

THanks for all the info. I appreciate it. Yes, my 1st mod. how did I do? I guesss we wont know until I turn it on.
ps. my best clocks before the mod with a mcw60 is here:
