4870 Vmod thx Nexgen Overclocking
 

Travis Jank hooked me up with a 4870 and did a courtesy volt mod as well.

Yummy :D I take it you are gonna torture it under the chiller before putting a pot on?

Sweet!

Finally got around to installing this v-modded 4870 from Travis. Unfortunately, I'm having some difficulties running the card. The motherboard code says the card in malfunctioning.

Hopefully Travis can shed some light on it. Won't even post.

Cool...you can do i have faith :)

What mobo?

790i Ultra

Do you have another board handy to try it in?

3 different cards work on that mobo so I haven't tried another.

LOL... They probably put something in the bios to reject a red card.:rofl

Supes try to get a voltage reading on the card when it tries to start up. I wonder if the trimmer is set to benching volts???

Benching volts, hmmm, that would be the big suck now wouldnt it? You live, you learn, you take out personal loans you never fully pay off, your kids want College Tuition, you wife Guchi, even you're huge ass Great Danes want a piece of the pie..............:rofl

It would be the big suck if it's set for sub zero volts when you are on air :rofl :sign17::green8:

Hehe, thought it was one of those just add water cards :P

Smartass.... Have you by chance tried it on the rex?

Sups,

try posting the card on sub zero temps like DICE or LN2

I had the card tuned for LN2 Benching when i shipped it to you.

do you have a multimeter handy to take a few voltage, and resistance measurements for me?

LOL, figured as much. Card's prolly toast. I got some pc repairs to do for some peeps over the next couple days. I'll pick up some DICE later this week if there's time.

naw,

4870 is one resilient SOB!

you could even solder the ground return lines and the card will be back at stock voltages and should boot on air/water no problem!

Nice mod Kal, thinking of maybe doing the same on my one...
