Yes, this is XS, but RT's user base is much much bigger than XS and not all users have good (or even minimum!) technical knowledge level. During the last 5 years RT was downloaded from the primary mirror almost 10.000.000 times and 5.000 - 15.000 users are joining RT community every day. And unfortunately 90% of these users are never reading any warnings/disclaimers, don't use built-in help and often tend to "tune" the system by enabling everything and dragging all sliders to the maximum. I really enjoyed supporting RT in the very beginning in 2000 because it was used mostly by enthusiasts and there were interesting technical discussions in support forums. But with the current user base size support transformed into real hell, most of questions were answered 100 times before or contain something like “I enabled something, now my system is working improperly, fix your crap”. Due to domination of such questions I had to shut down support via ICQ completely and also reduced support in Guru3D forums to minimum.
So I'm sorry, but I definitively wouldn't like to make RT support more troublesome than it currently is. Even now I have to deal with users configuring the tool blindly then spreading "RT is crashing the systems, beware" in different forums. And I won't like to give new sharp axe like _easy_ voltage control to these users, sorry. That's my responsibility and my choice.



Only those who think and ask get the answers I'm always glad to assist those who try to go beyond standard ideas and approaches. For example, a few months ago one Russian user was analyzing RivaTuner's VT1103 plugin code and got the idea of using it for voltmodding his AMD 4870. He got full assistance and and even published small article about it:

Also, during discussing the article in the forums I hinted that GTX200 series use absolutely the same VRM so these _public_ instructions can be used for voltmodding it. But it looks like there were no smart GTX 200 owners there.

Hey, hey, hey...

Let's be more positive here, please.. I know that you've been "burned" by all these forum noobs whining and flaming ya...

Well, I trust that you know that Rivatuner is probably by far the most popular "add-on" video card driver tool. It continues to rise in popularity despite your declining concern or support for answering these noobish complaints.

I mean, if I were you, I would not worry at all about including voltage adjustment stuff. It would only further boost Rivatuner's popularity, if anything. If Evga has the balls to do it, you probably have the balls too, right? God's law: Those balls shalt not whine!
