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

[NapalmV5]

Napalm no need to thank me mate, you have been doing all the work I have just put my 2c in here and there. I and I'm sure a few others do appreciate your work and time. Thank you.

I did see an increase in vgpu and vmem after doing the mods, and as a result in clocks, as I reported earlier in the thread. I measured at the measure points I showed earlier in the thread and also at the caps behind the gpu socket, and there is definitely a gain.

My card wouldn't run crysis at 1620 shader at stock voltage and auto fan, 1512 was max, but now with 1.24 vgpu it does 1620 no problem with temps hitting 86*C on a hot day with the fan on auto never going over 72% duty cycle.

Before the mods I could not run 756 core on auto fan in crysis for 30 seconds, now it lasts 5 mins before locking, its almost stable, with another 0.02v I think it would be totally stable. If I crank the fan up to 100%, I can run 756c/1656s/1512m in crysis no problems at all.

Guys as Napalm said, do not attempt things that are out of your ability level. Re-capping/adding caps is relatively high level as far as modding goes, and takes some good soldering skills, which Napalm and myself have. Also the caps characteristics need to be selected carefully, adding caps/coils & other components can have deleterious affects due to resonance and other factors.

youve helped me greatly and i appreciate it

if you got any idea youd like to try out.. im here ill try it on my 285s.. i got amp and ssc to sacrifice for whatever mods



edit: (d18 d15 d14) d18 increased 2d voltage to 1.22v (330 ohm vdiff resistor) but 3d voltage remained the same 1.33v

3d shouldve went up .10-.14v (that wud be ~1.47vcore) as well.. what u think its holding it back ?
