July 12, 20168 yr Author Warming up for the Cheapaz Chips competition? Â Don't know about IntelGuy but I was just just making sure I didn't kill my card after adding a cap to memory
July 25, 20168 yr @ newlife - I'm planning on trying your volt mods and entering the competition. Thanks for posting up the how-to guide. Here's hoping I can come up with something competitive instead of another doorstop.

July 25, 20168 yr The Gigabyte GT 710. I'm already stopped at getting the voltage readings. I run from a case instead of a bench station so there is not a lot of room for the probes. I have a PCI-e extension cable on the way which should solve the problem nicely. I'm thinking that I should be able to pull the card all the way out of the case and then lay it face down on an antistatic mat then be able to get to the measuring points that way. Once I get the readings, what kind of increase should I be trying to do? Just trial and error or start with something like .10v? Thanks for your help. I haven't modded a card since about 2003 so this is pretty much like starting over again.
July 26, 20168 yr Author I'd say 50mv jumps at a time but scaling stops around 1.4-1.5v  As for reading volts I use a cable soldered to the card and strip back the end and wrap it around the multimeteres probe
