higher OC on core/memory

LOL!

aren't I being single minded again

I was thinking: "How does one (hard)mod an XT to a XT PE?". I completely forgot about softmodding

but flashing is a fairly safe process in my humble opinion. I think a lot of those people complaining about a screwed up flash don't do it the way they're supposed to...

I finally went to aitec electronics shop near Leuven today and got the missing 20k VR.

I was so eager to finish the mods that I completely forgot to take pictures though :/

so here's one with the card installed. I didn't do the OVP mod and the white wires sticking out are for measuring the corresponding voltages


testing so far:
540 mhz core @1.5 Vcore = 30 mhz increase over stock :grum:
memory is a bit of a tricky thing:
best I got so far is 570 mhz @
2.10 Vdd and 2.25 Vddq
2.15 Vdd already gives worse results.
keeping vddq 0.05V higher then Vdd kills the oc
0.15 more V on Vddq give only a few extra mhz at best over 0.10 higher Vddq.

another thing that's odd is that I could reach 570 mhz on the mem stock on the axp
i only managed 540 with the p4 stock.

I also can't remember what bios is on the card or if it's the same as with the axp testing



overall, I'm very dissapointed seeing that many out there obtain these (or even higher) clocks at default volts...


How do I resize a picture in a forumpost?

each card is different, draw of luck, as always


those guys at XS go through several videocards, thanks to NewEgg

I just remebered I have a Vagp mod on my mobo but now the Vagp defaults too ~1.7V and that's something ati cards dislike afaik.

I'll have to remove it to see if it makes a difference...
