    your spots are the same.






    on a side note, if you want to use a different point, grab your dmm and set it to resistance. put one probe on one of those points, and use the other to touch other points and read the resistance. whenever you find a point that has 0Ω resistance, BINGO! you can use that point.

    Clint, it has been pretty "noisy" card since I bought it. Higher FPS=louder "squeeling"

    Thanks. Presumably, with the layout of the card, the best (only?) place to solder the pot is on the right side of that resistor, although I guess I could go hunting to find a spot with 0 ohms to the FB pin?

    100k pot gives ~1.41 volts. Strangely, the default voltage for my 3850 seems to be 1.32v, the same as a 3870. Anyone else have this?

    I've not yet tested clocking, as I b0orked the BIOS of my mobo and am awaiting a replacement BIOS chip.

    Exclamation Pencil Mod in a Antec 900

    I am going to attempt the Pencil mod for both vgpu and vdimm however,
    I have the antec 900 case with all fan slots going at 120CFM.

    Will the huge air flow blow off the pencil shading?

    It could do, but just shade it as much as you need and then stick a tiny bit of masking tape over it to protect the pencil mark.

    Is there OCP mod required for these cards? I did vmod and it works fine but when I raise voltage to say 1.5v I cant run 3dmark even at stock clocks. It goes black screen. 1.4ish volts works fine.

    Was cooling with chilled water and temps were below 30C so I doubt that is the issue. Any ideas? Here is the mod:
