I removed the corresponding resistors on my GT to disable the overvoltage. Card still overvolted but guess what Nick? Card does not shot down anymore no matter what voltage. I did some preliminary testing upping card to 1.6v in 3DMark and 1.5v in Crysis. I ran 3DMark06 at 918Mhz and played Crysis at 900Mhz!
Let my need for mhz begin

These are same resistors (x78 value) nick removed from a gts, and his effect was no more vdroop.
Great job! I already tried it on my card and it worked like a charm! Running 1.49v load without a hickup.
