I'd just like to point out the seriousness of this post to anyone else thinking of doing this with out a Multi Meter. This really cant be stressed enough.
I was just attempting to go from 1.31 to around 1.36 load.
I applied a couple strokes of my pencil, booted up, measured...
AND WHAT THEING HELL PANIC ATTACK!!!
It read 1.89V, I kid you not.
Luckily, I had a quick response to hit the switch on the PSU, and no damage has been done, but not having a multi meter I'm sure the chip would have been fried before I got to windows.
Also for those using it, or thinking of using it, I've found the S1 starts to gets over loaded once you start going over 1.4V
The card just heats up till it shuts it self down, and that's with two 120mm fans going.
