  1. @ Pieter - too tired now :D

     

    @ Oleg

     

    Thx :) I always use HOT AIR (in left hand) + Soldering gun (in right hand) to desolder chokes :) This way it goes very fast (20-30 seconds per choke).

     

    Those cracks are strings of HOT GLUE after protecting VMODS and mounting Epower ;) Core is 100% fine.

  2. So I finally managed to enter elite Titan Zombie club (4th person who modded Titan if I am correct) and I want to share my experience. My card was 100% working before modding, so I had a lot to lose, that's why I tried to do everything very carefully.

     

    This guide and my mod wouldn't exist without EVGA support. Ronaldo (rbuass) also helped me a lot and my mod was based on his experience.

     

    STEP 1

     

    Prepare a good SOLDERING STATION DESK

    STEP 2

     

    Prepare your EPOWER

    It's better to connect all POSITIVE (+) soldering pads cause it will be easier to solder it directly to Titant's PCB

    STEP 3

     

    Remove chokes from your Titan (6 pieces)

    STEP 4 - MOST DANGEROUS AND HARD

     

    You need to disable "Alert" connection, PIN 2 of NCP 4206 controller

     

    Typical scheme for ON SEMICONDUCTOR controlers:

    And here on PCB

    Trace from Pin 2 has 2 millimetres long and it goes inside PCB. Be sure not to cut other traces. It's the most hard part. I could barely see it through magnifier.

     

    STEP 5

     

    As we are going to use stock VDIMM VRM, we need a VMOD for it

    STEP 6

     

    The same with VPLL MOD

    STEP 6

     

    Measure points:

     

    For VDIMM and VGPU:

     

    all12.jpg

     

    For VPLL:

     

    all11.jpg

     

    STEP 7

     

    THERMAL SHUTDOWN MOD

     

    all16.jpg

    STEP 8

     

    Soldering Epower

     

    POSITIVE (+)

     

    all1.jpg

     

     

    NEGATIVE (-/GND)

     

    all17.jpg

     

    My mod looks like:

    Final step - checking if it's ALIVE!

    Soon I will do some strong LN2 results and update this guide with adding some extra capacitors for GPU & MEM.

     

     

    Enjoy and have fun! :)

    Firstly, you need to qualify :D and sorry, but Joanna is not an overclocker. Why? - she has never done any result ALONE, doesn't have hwbot account and so on, doesn't create OC topics and so on. The ability of pouring LN2 into pots doesn't mean that she is an overclocker.

     

    @Xtreme Addict : GOGOGO! :)

     

    I will push Asus Titan to the limits, but I will not take part in AOOC qualifier, as Dusan (Perica Barii) and I are seeded to the final in Moscow

     

    I wish everyone good luck, I hope to see a lot of friends in Moscow!

     

    I will do a guide how to ZOMBIE Titan to push it to the limits in AOOC! Maybe it will help someone :)

  4. I really like this rule about no girlfriends. It was what few ocers told a lot of times. Such events are the greatest thing for ocers, greatest reward and bonus from their hobby/passion, and it hurt eyes when some ocers took girlfriends for MOA/GOOC, which were not interested in OC and wanted to end it as fast as it's possible and start sight seeing the city or go to a club to dance. For girls such events were only a trip to exotic place and live OC contest was an unpleasant duty/price which they had to pay to have some fun in foreign country... It's much more better to take to a team other ocer, even not the best, but ocer (for whom it would be a great fun) who can help the other ocer. Different ideas, two heads are not a one head ;)
