I have an Asus EAH3870 as well, but I just killed it after an attempted VGDDR mod. For some reason, i used 70k POT and it shot the volts up to 3v+ and the card artifacted like maddd. Anyways, I RMA'ed it and now i got a new one with the weird PCB design. The top portion of the card appears to have very few components (caps, resistors, etc), while the backside has a lot more. Also, the cooling system had been changed significantly.Originally Posted by largon
Find where the pin marked with number 13 leads on the bigger chip. Also, a better shot of the cropped area with good lighting would be nice.
Measure resistance to ground from these locations:
Pin#7 on the smaller chip (AT-9J?)
Pin#13 on the larger chip (BD-9J?)
My old card looked like this:

So is there any chance of a Vmod and Vdimm mod? Vdimm is really important right now, since they lowered the Vdimm a lot due to lack of ramsinks. I can barely clock memory at 1130 without it crashing and artifacting
