Xtreme Addict Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 is this the same card that died? what was wrong? It's a new private one, dead is dead Any idea about voltage problem? Quote
Lucky_n00b Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Hi Guys, Just want to ask, do anyone knows what happens to the card when we only remove the PR133 resistor and not connecting it to the C162 Caps? I'm not good with soldering so I might end up destroying the Solder pads with the hardmods X_X Thanks, Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Card boots fine Use hotair (for 1-2 minutes) and move resistor (simply touch it) with hot soldering gun, it will desolder (move) it, you will not destroy solder pads. It's my method - the easiest and the most safe for me. Edited September 17, 2012 by Xtreme Addict Quote

Lucky_n00b Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Ok hardmodded my card, now can boot the 1300 BIOS successfully at 1.4v on HSF. Boot 1500 BIOS still needing LN2 about -10C though. And the max voltage from Afterburner now stuck +212mV (approx 1.62/1.63 V idle voltage), does anybody got the same limitation? Quote

Massman Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Does anyone have a card that will red screen with ALL ln2 bioses after ~ 5s in windows idle? Quote
Splave Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Im very behind on the gpu, so you use this new bios + the hardmod? gives you 1.4vid default then you force p0 state and raise voltage with AB but currently only 1.6*v max? Quote
zeneffect Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 should just save the headache and zombie the card. Quote
uncle fester Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 No we should just return to the first 1500 bios and use nv software to force pstate then no mod needed or voltage limit and can use memory slider . Quote

Yes use the new BIOS + hardmod. I think the VID hardmod only help for booting into OS though, since when I was using stock LN2 BIOS without hardmod I also have this voltage limitation. On Stock LN2 BIOS(1200 boost, 1.225 VID IIRC), I got this +387mV limit on Afterburner, limiting the voltage to exactly 1.62V as well. Quote

I've got exactly the same limitation here... it's sad not to be able to give more juice to my card... Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Check your emails, we will have more voltage on finals! Bad news - for me it's a kind of a joke because from what I see we will not be able to do such results at home... Edited September 21, 2012 by Xtreme Addict Quote
matose Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 No we should just return to the first 1500 bios and use nv software to force pstate then no mod needed or voltage limit and can use memory slider . This solution is the best... you have +700mV in ABX with that BIOS Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 This solution is the best... you have +700mV in ABX with that BIOS I have tested all bioses and I couldn't find any which works 1.62v+, all stop, regardless hardmod. I tested it on retail cards and on MOA sample. All LN2 bioses have +700 slider but it will work only up to 1.62v on multimeter Do you use MOA sample card or other? Please tell me which ABX and which bios exactly you are using Quote
riska Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Here is my teammates voltage hack for afterburner https://sites.google.com/site/qwwwizx/home/gtx-680 it works great Quote
OBR Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 help me here, how important is AUX voltage for high GPU clocks on this card? Some Grand Final contestants here, tell me your setting for your max GPU frequency, THANKS Quote
Splave Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 didnt seem to help me at all 1870/1860 1.58v -130c but card red screens with any higher voltage or cold combination. but this is with vid mod and AB. Quote
Crew Vivi Posted October 5, 2012 Crew Posted October 5, 2012 card #1 -135 1.74v 2000mhz card #2 -145 1.78v 1900mhz both only vcore mod and AB nothing else both with aux at +100 not sure if it helped volts help ALLOT. Vince uses close to 2v for his runs. Yes it's probly dangerous for your card but if you want high clocks go crazyyy Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 5, 2012 Crew Posted October 5, 2012 Wow nice Vivi, remind me to not buy a card from you Quote
michaelrw Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 this is with vid mod and AB. both only vcore mod and AB whats the difference between the vid mod and the vcore mod? vcore mod is with 100ohm VR pot.. Quote
Crew Vivi Posted October 6, 2012 Crew Posted October 6, 2012 whats the difference between the vid mod and the vcore mod? vcore mod is with 100ohm VR pot.. the difference is, vid mod locks the card to 1.4v. some cards red screen at that volts booting in to windows. So if you have an unlucky card you will have some problems. Vid mod also limits you to 1.62v in Ab. which is too little. You can still own with vid mod tho no problems. Vcore mod is like a normal mod, goes from 1v to 1.35v. then do the rest with AB DON'T use vcore mod with the NORMAL ln2 bios, that ln2 bios has some weird volting going on so you might see random .2 jumps in vcore. The MOA ln2 bios is perfect tho Quote
rbuass Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Good job as usual Vivi. Question....when you tell 1.74V (or 1.78V card 2), you mean in full or idle?....cause my card overvolt 1.72V to 1.82V in the middle of the benchmark....lol Quote
