4870 Overclocking Thread

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

i thought i read on ocforums of a pencil mod for the memory at least..did not get enough sleep

so changing values in bios for voltage has no effect? well that bums me out.

I have a iron, might get confident with it soon.

yes there is a pencil mem mod, i will be testing that one sometime in the next week

here are the pics from my voltmod (quoted from voltod thread) there is very little danger involved in this mod compared to other videocard voltmods because the contact for VDDC is isolated away from others, the only issue is that the contack is VERY small and thus it is hard to get a sufficient bead of solder attached securely.

Here is my voltmod for the 4870, please tell me if you see anything wrong , I haven't been able to try it for myself yet because the 2nd card isnt here yet and i need to set up the water loop all at once

I used 3 x 10 Ohm metal film resistors in series. Note to any other first time volt modders like myself, that vddc point is a to solder to so make sure you are very practiced before you go for it.
