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 This post has been edited by rlhc17: Dec 30 2007, 07:00 AM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Dec 30 2007, 10:19 PM) 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 This post has been edited by rlhc17: Dec 30 2007, 11:27 PM

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Dec 30 2007, 11:46 PM) can i just check the resistance only? very hard to measure the Vgpu when the system is on, scary....  yup,can but it is better to know the Vgpu too..... when running 3D
