i did read the new 3870 x 2 card comes on a ten layer pcb.. they say this is why the card can come clocked higher than the single card.. its worth a thought and might explain why the card has such a wide "not quite stable" gaming range.. we are running very high frequencies..
there might be more to it than simply how fast the chip will go..

Hello
Well i am gone mod both my 3870 this week-end.
I can see that neither the vmod for the gpu or the mem are hard to do with good soldering skillls (which is my case). As a side note and after reading some comments, i will go with signle core wire from phone cable or with IDE cable wire, havent decided yet.
On the other hand after reading all the posts in this thread i didnt find any pics showing the measuring points for the vmem. Only saw the one showing where to solder to mod the vmem but not where to check the voltage.
So can anyone post a pic showing the measuring points for the mem voltage ?
Thx a lot guys, cant wait get this hard mod done.
My system is full watercooled (the two 3870 included) so i really cant wait to see what those puppies can do with some vmod .

I suggest phone cable. The IDE strands work fairly well, but they actually add a bit of resistance due to their gauge.Hello

Oh by the way Random,
I saw that you soldered the ground for the vmem trimmer on the IC chip. Is that required or can i just soldered it on the power connector ground ?
I am asking because it seems like its what that guy from xs did (the one with the black wires nicely shaped and the trimmers clipped) and i want to do something similar.
Thx

It easier to solder multi strand wire tho'.especially when the connections are as small as these.Its hard to tin the solid wire,coz i tried.

BE CAREFUL when measuring your voltages, I recommend doing what tigger did. I lost my card because of it.

I have a nice multimeter with pointy ends i dont need to force to measure the voltage and i can see very clearly where i put the tips.
I already checked the vgpu yesterday (1.34v 3D) and had no problem. Just have to go really slowly and patiently and everything is ok....should be ok

key word, slowly and carefully, one thing I took for granted after doing a few measurements. Nothing but me being stubborn, so hopefully if I preach enough I can save someelse from my misery!

I have been through that a long time ago when i vmoded a ASUS KT133 mobo. Wanted to go too fast and ended up desoldering an IC impossible to put back . I did go to Fry's to exchange it so i guess my lesson wasnt too expensive but i did learn my lesson, never messed up a hard mod after that.
