Ati HD3870 VGPU pencil mod (from Xtremesystems forums)

Just use a 2B pencil to lower the resistance on the marked blue resistor
from 1.62kOhm to around 1KOhm

My HD3870 stock vgpu = 1.33v (3d) after pencil mod vgpu went up to 1.415v

need to run the card to check the resistance after modding?
where are the points to check resistance in your picture?
blue square point and ???
*
system off-

u need to check the resistance on the the blue square point resistor as u shade (power off)
1kohm will give u 1.415vgpu (on 3d mode)

system on -
Vgpu measuring point will be any 1 of the red point
ur DMM red probe to any of the red point & black probe to ground

can i just check the resistance only?
very hard to measure the Vgpu when the system is on, scary.... sweat.gif

yup,can
but it is better to know the Vgpu too..... when running 3D
