Graphics cards - Volt mods / pencil mods 56K warning!

[Rasmus66]

Lets make this one a sticky so people easily can find volt mods

I will update this thread with volt mod pics, guides and other ways to mod your cards.

8800GTS 320/640, 8800GTX and ultra voltmods

Vddr mod:

Original voltage 1.81V

Solder vr from red point to ground. Tune down to increase voltage. With 5 Kohm vr voltage will be 1,86V

Vgpu mod:

Original voltage 1.26V idle it vdrops then loaded so OVP mod is needed

Connect variable resistor from red point to ground. Tune down and voltage will raise.

OVP mod:

Remove the three marked resistors to remove vdrop completely

This is crazy, I have been curious about benching lately. Why do people bench though? Do they do it for pleasure or do they gain something from it?

 

[MSIRawZ]

Epic. Been meaning to find some time to do my HD 5870 but just can't find the time nor reason to. Think my 5870 is rubbish anyway.

@AdrianD2 - both

 

[AdrianD2]

Sounds pretty fun to me! How would I get into doing it, do I register somewhere?
