Green is probable VMEM readout, blue is probable VGPU readout.
For the VGPU mod, I can't read the IC numbers too well, and those I can read have no datasheet available on the web. That's what you get with those custum boards, they come with Chinese electronics which might be cheaper but mostly are undocummented for us.

Try to measure which components have been connected to the VGPU readout, and which components are connected to ground. Use good eguipment to measure, you can be fooled easily

No, you are doing it the wrong way PJ. Look what voltage you get at the readout points and confirm if these are okay.

Then connect one side of your meter to the VGPU readout and hunt for spots that give 0,0 ~ 0,5 Ohm, i.e. you hunt with the other probe of your multimeter. Do the same thing with ground, see were you read 0 Ohm once you connected one side of your meter to ground.

Don't go over this to quick, you can easily read wrong value's. I always measure the same point few times again and adjust pressure in order to get a good view on what I'm really measuring.

EDIt: if you measure in Ohms, always be sure your videocards is not powered on!

The bios thingy is indeed annoying, unfortunately I have no idea how the fix it. You must get the right bios, that's all I know. There is a dedicated thread for this on the Xtreme Systems forums, but honestly it's too long for me to read through, or put my time into. Try to get the bios first before we proceed searching voltmods.

readings :red point on the vgpu read-out black on the green dots in the pic read's 0.5ohms this on the front off the card.
from black ground to green point reads 4ohms , should read-out again to be sure .

this are the only points so far on the back off the card nothing !

I need a lot more info, more points, otherwise I can't locate voltmods. You can always drop by today, we'll find out here. Easier/faster/safer
