So, I broke my 9600GSO :( Now I need to replace it. I'm looking to spend relatively little, since I only paid $34 for the 9600GSO. Of course, I don't want to take a step back either (after an OC, that card was a beast). I saw that the HD4830 is widely available for between $90 and $100. The...

Hmmm...your oc seems awfully low. It's possible that it's a heat issue rather than a voltage issue. I heard the PNY cooler isn't all that great. What temps are you getting? My eVGA 9600GSO runs at 741 core/1836 shader/1053 memory. I haven't volt modded it yet either. I heard that the...

Bump for help please??

bump?

...No, sorry they're not. That's why I posted pics of my PCB. http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=78249 Please refer to that thread, as it has all the information that we've figured out thus far (its a lot)

Hey, I still need help trying to volt mod my eVGA Dual-Slot edition 9600GSO. I'm sure there are plenty of people around with these cards, since tons of them were sold when they went on sale for $34 after rebate and coupon code on newegg. My card is running at 741 core/1836 shader/1053 memory on...

Good to know. Now I just have to wait till...Tuesday for it to show up. Dang UPS is slow. Everyone should just use USPS (in the United States anyways...). Saves a lot of cash and its wayyyyyyyy faster. Would've been about $5 flat-rate and it would've gotten here in 2 days.

I took the cooler off and looked at the core, and I found that the thermal compound wasn't exactly working as I planned...so yeah. Looks like reapplying thermal compound is a little important. It was all dry and bunched up. Regardless, I ordered an Accelero S1. I'm going to attach that to the...

I decided to try the FB volt mod. It doesn't seem to be producing the desired effect. I had to lower clock speeds back on the memory. Maybe I shaded to thick? It seems like the gpu is hotter than it used to be...is 64 odd? Maybe because I didn't reapply thermal grease properly? I just shaved...

I see... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3436333&posted=1#post3436333 Should probably look at that thread. panzerchaos47 has 2 9600GSO's that he's testing with. GPU0 has no pencil mod, and GPU1 was modded using the FB pin. He labeled a point he's attempting to use to...

Someone else did a pencil mod by following the FB pin to the resistor it connects to and shading the resistor. It increased the temperature by 6 degrees Celsius. Based on the change in resistance after doing that, I'm guessing the voltage after the mod was 1.165V. Raising voltage to 1.32V might...

I'm not sure what the default voltage of the card is. Do you know? I'm looking at that picture to determine default voltage and which resistor connections go to which pins. It LOOKS like VID1 and VID6 are the only pins that don't have resistors, so those pins aren't connected to anything...

Cool, sounds good. Just to check, how are we able to tell which side of the chip is facing "up", so we know which pins are the vid pins? Also let me know if you need me to read off the names on any other chips. I notice the names on the ones on the back aren't that visible.

Hmmm, I don't really know what the VID-Table says. Is it just that if there's resistance on some pins and none on others then the voltage will be different? So, I'd match up the resistor placement with the 0's being no resistor, 1's meaning yes there's a resistor, and the output at the end of...
