The power regulation of the card has completely been changed.
The card doesn´t any longer draw power from the motherboard, all power is supplied by the PCI-E power connector.
Also the gpu overvoltage protection (OVP) has been properly disabled, core transform voltages are fully adjustable, there is only a minor fluctuation in VGPU and VDDR voltages, etc...
Basically the trick is to enhance the cooling of power regulation cirquits and add few components to right places
These mods gained over 100MHz for the gpu and 40MHz for the memory.

infrared said:What are the components you put the sinks on? I've been looking with curiosity at them on my card. Mosfets or something?
I'm conisidering volt modding my card soon, but first i need to find a decent cooler for it. I'm gonna do a simple pencil mod first though, so i can see if it's really worth putting a VR mod in place. Oh, and whats the best way of getting the graphite off if i get too much on the resistors?
Great work everyone in here!

how did you stick them on? Double-sided tape or thermal grease + a small dab of superglue in the corners?

ViperJohn said:Never use a Silver or metal bearing thermal adhesive or compound on memory chips. They are capacitive (not conductive) and if any squeeze out gets under a chip you can end up in the land of hurt real fast. Use only AS Alumina Thermal Epoxy or Alumina/Ceramique compounds.

Stilt said:Viper:
I don´t use any heatsinks on the memory chips.
I know that even Arctic Silver claims that their "Silver" series products aren´t conductive, they actually are (a bit). These products can instantly kill the card if the stuff makes it way to those bga solderballs or legs of ic.
I only have heatsinks on the choke coils and gpu power cirquit components.
I also use a slice of tape to protect the legs of IC from getting shorted by the glue.
When the glue has settled, I can rip the tape off.
Thanks for the warning thou
