So I don't know if anyone is aware but it's extremely hard to soder the vmod on 7900's. People recommend conductive ink. I tried to soder, and succeded!!!

 

Only problem now is that I'm causing the system to shutdown because it's overloading my Thermaltake TR2 430Watt PSU

 

[Massman]

Soldering skill comes with practice. The first voltage modifications I did myself I considered to be "damn near impossible" as well, but as I did more cards it just got easier .

[racingken]

To bad it wasn't the Geforce 8500gt, I have one of those......... I put it in the wife's pc tilll I got a GTX550ti, and then a GTX650 so I put the GTX550ti in her pc so she wouldn't be to ^&(*#%$/upset and then bought 2 more GTX 550ti's. What a merrygoround...... LOL

Hello guys, got a question for ya. I got myself $100 of Walmart Gift cards to get rid of. I already have an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO (not gen3) laying around and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use that walmart money to order a Pentium G630 and a tiny bit of HyperX DDR3 1333mhz ram. It says the ram is stock 1.5volt so maybe with a bit more voltage I can get 1600-1866 or so and oc the cpu a bit.

 

I'm wondering how much of an increase in 3DM03 Scores I can get going from some slightly OC'd C2D's and Athlon 64's and original Phenoms all running on DDR2.

 

Thanks and happy holidays!

I won an Ebay auction a few weeks ago for a GT530......and a GT630 arrived- the seller had mis-listed it. I was almost disappointed

[der8auer]

I kept checking ebay and the local market places all the time. Almost impossible to get this card.

[Leeghoofd]

Let sum it up as this : We got MaSsMaNnEd !!!
