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

[KingK76]

This question is for NapalmV5. I have followed your modding adventures with the GTX 285 in various forums and you have done many mods to your card (s?). My question is, have you tried your 3 step vmod method on a fresh card (one that you have done no other mods on)? The reason I ask is perhaps you have unlocked something along the way to allow you to hit 1.36v that is in tandem with the 3 steps you have shown all of us. Please don't take that the wrong way as I appreciate greatly the work you have done. Thank you.

Yea, its strange, almost seems like we missed a step or a step wasn't mentioned. I dunno......

Okay I am having the same issues as some of you guys in that I have gone through all the steps and am getting only 1.26v under load. I have a XFX Black Edition and started out by using conductive ink for step 1, 2b pensil for step 2 and a 500ohm VR tuned down to 150ohm for step 3. After reading all the posts I removed the conductive ink for step 1 end replaced 2, 4 and 12 with tinned wire (thin wire). Another issue is that the SMR from step 2 starts out at 1.07kohms, that seems much higher then what it should be. Given that however I was able to pencil it down to 330ohm with my 2b. And i'm still only at 1.26v under load! What am I doing wrong? Please help!!

theres no other step

this is all XS xclusive.. luxx forum is the only other place ive shared with

you have to pencil/repencil till you get a working resistance.. just as with unstable silver ink @ step 1

not just lower resistance.. resistance that increases your vgpu
