ill try to flash some bioses now and will see where they take me

EDIT: there are 3 ground pins for the pciE 6way plug.
when i use different ground pins on the plug i get different results with the vgpu spot mentioned in the 3870/3850 vmod thread

IDLE:
with the first one i get 1.286v
with the second one i get 1.368v
with the third one i get 1.286v

LOAD:
with the first one i get 1.308v
with the second one i get 1.408v
with the third one i get 1.306v

i assume the second and third one is correct?
Got pics to go with those ??? I should really take backside macro photos of my HIS HD3850 ICEQ 3 as well to share with folks.. not sure if it's same reference PCB heh
