GTX285 various mods.. which may work for GTX260/280/295 also

[CryptiK]

change has definitely occurred.. vdiff resistor back @ 770ohm

and im getting 1.30vcore @ load just by the bridges alone

still trying to figure out where how why im getting .04v higher

btw this is on the ssc 285

That's strange, if its all back to stock (except caps) it should be back to the old voltages. Are your DMM batteries ok?

EDIT just saw 10acjed's post - sure all the pencil residue is gone? Did you clean resistor with acetone or isopropyl?

One more update:

Since changing my fan speed manually to 100%, my vanilla eVGA 285 reached new stable clock speeds.

Best clock speeds with fan set to auto is 729c/1620s/1458m.

Best clock speeds with fan set to 100% is 756c/1656s/1512m.


My silver conductive pen should be here Tuesday and I think I might go ahead and order a FC block today seeing that reduced temps seem to have more affect than I would have thought on my clock speeds. I certainly can't live with the stock fan set to anything above 65% for everyday use.

When left on auto, my fan never goes over 72% to keep the gpu at ~85*C, at 1.24 vgpu.

The fans do get pretty loud thats why I leave mine on auto. Water should allow it to clock higher, the GT2XX series is very responsive to temperature.
