9600GT voltmod thread

The OVP seems very close to the default voltage- less than 3% above default?

Seeing as default voltage is over 1.10V and your problems kick in before 1.15V, it doesnt make sense for logical OVP cutoff points- 1.10V, 1.15V, 1.20V etc etc


@witte- did your card perform fine @ 1.4VCore?

Bear in mind that 3d mode is ~0.026V higher than idle, that means when volt mod is active: 1.129V + 0.026V = 1.155V. So the OVP could kick in at ~1.15V.

Standard overclock was 700MHz, with extra volts I could hit 780MHz. All I checked

Just finished VMEM.
Here's a closeup pic:


Doing it was a lot easier than VGPU. 218kohm yielded 2.06V.

Works flawlessly - stock was 1.993 which i could run at 1060mhz, now i set it at 2.09V and can do 1120mhz atitool artifact (agressive - slider to max left) free.

EDIT: anyone knows how high i can set the vmem for these samsungs on 96gt? assuming i have copper heatsinks on them and good airflow also?

Thx Largon (and others who contributed).

Now just we need to find out how to trick ovp not to shut down on VGPU > 1.15V....

Here's a bonus pic on both mods (am i not pro? ):

I like that method,
Thats easier then soldering the VR off when something isn't working as it should be.

That's what i had in mind when i was going to try a mod which was not confirmed and it paid off. If you read some posts back - there are some issues with vgpu ovp - it kicks in really soon. So as of yet i just unplugged the vr from connector of vgpu mod.

Either my eyes are bad or you soldered to the resistor , not the pad?

[trez0r]

Your eyes are perfectly fine.
But take a look at this picture:


The pad and the end of the resistor i soldered to are on the same trace so it doesn't matter where to solder the wire. I could as well solder it to the resistor on the right from the pad or even the resistor below the resistor to the right from pad. I just chose the easiest point for me.
