NVIDIA informed their partners that the voltage issue with the GeForce 9600GT cards has been fixed.
The NVVDD is change to 1.15V by placing a 0 ohm resistor at R587 and remove R561, R566, and R570. To enable load-line feature, a 0 ohm resistor is placed at R522 and 2.2nF capacitor is placed at C519 and R527 is removed.
The cards are already fixed and launch date is confirmed as previous for February 21, 2008.

im getting one in 3 weeks then as long as it goes at launch price
 
0 ohm resistor? so they're just bridging solder pads, essentially?
 
I don't know much about electronics in the way of how the electrical stuff actually works, but 0 ohms doesn't sound like much of a resistor...
 
Damn, with 0 ohms I guess there's no vmodding these things unless it can be done in a BIOS flash?
 
It is probably a bridge made to look like a resistor so you are like... mmm that looks important, so I better not take it off.

o no it can be volt modded ;) ill make sure of that....they just gave me some of the resistors that controll the core voltage directly should be cake from here.

SUCKERS! Nvidia should've just hid the news :D
