Go vmod that thing man... If I can do it, so can you, or get some help ;)
How much I would think that would rock... I dont want you to start killing your hardware... If you cannot do it with what you have.. Then dont.. I know how it can be difficult to clean an IC chip when the solder flows across the contacts... Its do-able.. But can be difficult with a beginner...Quote:

#1 in THE WORLD!
on a 486...

.
well, an A64 at 486mhz.
Uh... what the hell did you do??? ;)
I agree with Colossus. It is not worth destrying your video card for a brief stint as #1. You should bide your time, then sell the video card to me and take back #1 in an amazing flash of large 3D mark scores.
You're my hero Eshbach. When I grow up I want to be just like you.
I still don't understand why he hasn't done the damn vdimm mod... It will help you more than a video card mod, and there's no risk!
If I remember right vertices had a problem with his vdimm mod.Quote:

because i'm ordering pc4200... and mainly because i can't solder to the IC, nor can i get a clip small enough.Quote:

NO RISK? That is very ignorant on your part...Quote:

Anytime you vmod ANYTHING it is a risk.. First on the quality of your workmanship.. And 2nd on how well the memory can handle the added voltage... If a person does it wrong and applies to much voltage with not enough cooling... Opps there goes the board or memory!
No risk????
:rolleyes:
mickeymouse at xtreme just killed his AN50R within the past few days after doing vdimm and vcore mods... and i'm not nearly as experienced as he is.Quote:

i just checked the sharkyextreme 3dmark, and under video overclock, my video is put under 9800pro, my video card is a 9800 non-pro.. just wanna clear that up :D
Well, whether he vmods the video card or RAM, he will have to solder (or use SMD grabbers, which IMHO, is more dangerous). So the danger of a mod gone wrong is present in both scenarios. What I am saying is, any quality (Corsair, Kingston, etc) memory can take 3.2v without *any* risk. There are people on XS who have been running 3.2x for over a year. The 9800 mod, on the other hand, is potentially more costly and offers less potential benefit (how far is a video vmod going to get you on air?! 20-30mhz on core, 10-20mhz on ram; if you're lucky).
3.2v would get you 250 1:1 2-2-2-5, perhaps even more. 3.3v would give you 255-260 (depends on RAM). 3.4v would get you 260-265. 3.5v would get you 265-270. And 3.6v would allow you to max out your board at a cool 27xfsb 1:1 2-2-2-5.
Think about it. ;)
Which is why he needs to practice on some old circuit boards first ;)
But to each his own.
Pfft, I dove right in and did my NF7-S's vdimm mod precisely on my first try! It's not that hard if you following the correct procedure; we're not soldering to traces here.Quote:
