AGP Current Booster Mod.

Actually I got the idea from Shamino's PCI Express Current Booster Mod. After reading the article, I was wondering if it was possible to do the same on an AGP system. So I downloaded the AGP slot pinouts and start modding.
This is the out come biggrin.gif

Here's a quote from Shamino's article:

QUOTE
The following modification is a current booster mod for the PCI Express slots on your motherboards. This will potentially increase the current that the PCI Express slot can supply for your display cards, thereby allevating the power barrier for the cards that do not come with power connectors.


Just replace the PCI Express slot with AGP Slot tongue.gif

Remember my 9550GT. When I bump the Vgpu over 1.6V, I have to crank up my 3.3V rail to 3.5V to get it stable in 3dmark03. Later I found out that the 3.3V rail on the card will droop around 0.2V during high load ( I measure this at the mosfets on the card ) although the 3.3V output from the PSU is actually stable.

After the mod, I can now bump the Vgpu over 1.6V while my 3.3V rail is set at 3.4V (I always keep my 3.3V at ~3.4V rolleyes.gif ) and the readings at the mosfets will only droop around 0.06V max during high load.

The AGP slot cannot provide enough current for power hungry cards. Thats why cards like 9800 and 6800 have power connectors on them. For cards like these, this mod will not be beneficial because the extra current is pumped through the connectors. But for cards without the power connectors, you might get some improvement in your overclock espescially if you voltmod.

For my 9550GT:

3.3V ----> Vgpu & Vddq
5V -----> Vmem

I mod the 12V because I had extra wire laying around laugh.gif

I always play with low-end stuff. No money to buy midrange stuff or even thinking about high-end stuff.
To me, voltmodding a high-end card is pointless. They are already powerful as they are but a little bit of OC won't hurt laugh.gif
Imagine frying a 7950 GX2 when a voltmod goes wrong sweat.gif

Wow Bro Shah,

now im really thinking of voltmodding my PSU and 9550 biggrin.gif

hehehe.... but as soon as they are out of warranty biggrin.gif


Sweet Mods u have there, was thinking of modding my NF7-S RAM VOLT. it only goes up to 2.9v in bios, maybe can crank up to 3.3v for BH5 chips. ?

what do u think ?

The easiest way to get 3.3V is to take the 3.3V output of your PSU and feed it to the ram. But it wont be adjustable anymore. You'll get 3.3V all the time smile.gif

Here's an example:

This is something not really related to voltmod. It is a pump relay for watercooling users. I've sold a few of these units to forumers here.

Which P3 HSF are you talking about, the slot 1 or the socket type. I can mod it for you if you want. I'm staying in downtown Cheras laugh.gif

Ehh?
No more updates? blink.gif

Anyway...
Shah, do you know how to find the best variable resistor for my freaking fast NIDEC DELTA V?

If can, please state how to find and where to find it... icon_question.gif

And another thing, how do i connect it to the wires?
Which colour is for which pin on the variable resistor?

There are 4 wires...
Green, Yellow, Red, and Black...

Allngap said that the black and red are used for power
[Red for +VE & Black for -VE]

I've already asked allngap and he said, the extra 2 wires [Green & Yellow] is for connecting to a variable resistor to control the fan speed...

This is some information for my fan:

Nidec tri-blade 120mm

Model : TA450DC

refer to the -34 series as the nidec TA450DC's model number is C34262-34

in this case the yellow wire is the RPM sense as usual while the green is for the low/high voltage sensor

To be honest, I don't know what value of resistance to use. Since you already asked allngap and he knows this stuff, why don't you refer to him. nod.gif

Any type of variable resistor should do, preferably the ones that looks like a volume control knob.....easy to turn laugh.gif

You can buy those variable resistor at Jln Pasar usually around RM1~RM2. A little tip.....don't say variable resistor when you ask the sales person, use the word potentiometer a.k.a volume control. laugh.gif

Easiest way to slow your fan down....use 5V or 7V rolleyes.gif

Potentiometer...
Noted that...
5Volts - 7Volts...

Can't do that, coz it's too slow, it's the same like i'm using my old Thermaltake Smartfan... 73CFM maybe [For 7Volts]

While on 5Volts, it's like i'm using my vantec spectrum 120MM uv led...
Too slow... sweat.gif

All i wanted to do is to mod it to run on 9Volts... rclxms.gif

Can someone help me here? icon_question.gif
