kezu Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Tips for Asus 710gt 1gb vgpu voltage read point? Found one, back side of the card aprox where is two caps on gpu side. Gives reading 0.956 already bumbed up to 1v. Also one other boint gives steady 1.156 under load and under 1.08x when idle. But trimming pot wont change anything. Thank you! Might be my vgpu mod wont work, or soldered incorrectly. Edit, seems like it's working. I thought that vgpu stovk is 1.12 as vid says.

kezu Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Funny, i tought that i did mod wrong, but seems that my pot isn't fines quality. Takes quite lot of turns until started happening, i even double checked the resistance. But im up on unning now. 1.15vgpu and 1440 mhz on gpu. Furmark stable. Running on air.

kezu Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thank you so much! I get same reading, from otherside of the card. Thanks alot! such an nice community! Happy benching guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kezu Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 So far Asus 1gb model 1591 /1191 Takes 1.4v for gpu. Im still on stock heatsink. Cooled by 120mm fan. temps under load are 48c Off to sleep now. Tomorrow, memory and maxing out gpu with 120fan. After that gonna test air conditioner ghetto mod. No tweaks.

newlife Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 I've just quickly edited this pic to show the mem mod which should read 3k ohm and I'd say 50k VR to ground Mem mod is yellow and read point is red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kezu Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I think i might have accidentally killed my Card. Soldered vgpu & vmem read points. Everything was fine. No shorts, covered with hotglue. I dont have any clue what might have killed it. Cleaned with alcohol whole card, mods removed. Compressed air etc. Boot and card is bricked. vgpu sits 0.9v and vmem 0.6v. Have to check tomorrow again is there any scratches or tin drops or anything. I might get new card in time. Maybe. Anyway, i was dumb enough and did not save any screenshots. Just had so many hours tweaking with 3dmark01 and best was 60400 points. Ahh well, lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that looked to be a half decent card and by the sounds of things the memory pwm somehow got damaged as it's running a fail-safe voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kezu Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Damn that looked to be a half decent card and by the sounds of things the memory pwm somehow got damaged as it's running a fail-safe voltage Thanks, rechecked the mod area. No tin drops nothing. Took pots. On vmem pot hair or two copper wires was poking out from hotglue and ground wire just next to them. Checked on multimeter, resistance almost zero. Might be recoverable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kezu Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Did some checks on mem pwm. If i remember right the resistance between ground and vmem mod spot was below 3k ohm. now it's 8.2k ohm aprox. So, gotta find where the broken resistor is maybe?

kezu Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) this is what i got measuring those resistances. and resistance from vmem spot to ground is 8.25k Edited August 21, 2016 by kezu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 The top of that 8.5k one should read pretty much 0ohm between ground as it is a ground and the bottom should read about 2.95k ohm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look at it again if i find something. Edit, might had bad solder. Resoldered that bottom end. Now getting correct resistance. Will give it a try now. *fingers crossed* Edited August 21, 2016 by kezu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GeorgeStorm Posted August 22, 2016 Members Share Posted August 22, 2016 So a friend and I just tried the vcore mod on our first Giga card, and it looked like it was all good, however when we plugged the card in and tried changing the voltage nothing seemed to happen. We were using GPU-Z for the voltage measurement for ease as it was 0.01 out compared to the multimeter. Eventually whilst turning the pot the screen went crazy pink for a second then black, a PC restart and everything seemed fine again. Any ideas?

newlife Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Gpu doesn't read the real volts, just what it thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GeorgeStorm Posted August 22, 2016 Members Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Gpu doesn't read the real volts, just what it thinks Oops Thanks! From a quick manual check it's currently running at 1.28v so clearly the mod is working! Edit: Anyone have any luck with the stock cooler on the gigabyte board, swiftly realising it's fairly terrible Going to try and bodge my phase onto it next week since temperatures are definitely holding it back at the moment (only at 1.2v!)

kezu Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 For some reason, i cannot get gpupi running correctly on my setup. Fresh win 10 installation and 32b gpupi takes like 1 hour per loop. week ago i had fresh win 8 install and it worked just fine. May have to hook up my card to different mobo & cpu setup. and instal win7 & win8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
