8800GTS 512Mb (G92) vMods

dont need to unsolder them, shorting them out with small pieces of wire will work Electricity is lazy- if it has a choice of a resistive path (resistor) or non-resistive path (bit of wire) it will skip the resistor totally. Thats assuming the wire has no resistance at all, which is only true in theory, but its "close enough" here.

worst case scenario: the wire and the resistor form a parallel resistive network, but the total equivalent resistance will basically be the resistance of the wire.

[/theory]

I hadnt looked at it until you pointed it out so...thanks for the heads up! Im hoping it wont be an issue, but every pushed back ceiling will help me.


@ Bala: Cheers bro! Are you all ready to bench as well?



big OT: I was gonna be benching tomorrow, but delayed it till Monday. I was hoping to be the first to publish frozen GTS clocking...I think il be beaten to it now!

please explain this to me a little more carefully...i really don't like obviously voiding my warranty and if what you say is correct then a simple stripe of conductive paint accross the top the the relevant resistors would achieve the same removal of OCP.
to my thinking removing the resister will not be the same as bridging it...removed the circuit should be broken due to connections literally missing and therefor almost infinate resistence in those circuits disables the OCP...however bridging the resisters with wire or paint will result in almost no resistence being offered and the circuits will remain intact...

so how is bridging the resisters anything like removing them?

please excuse if i've misunderstood the intricacies involved here as i have no electronic background whatsoever..

if anyone can work out how to disable OCP without voiding the warranty i'll be very pleased
(at this point i'm also not sure if these GTS512mb cards have the same capability in terms of removing OCP will allow LN2 voltages without further issue)
