Hi guys! Got my Chaintech 9600GT about 3 weeks ago.

So far going good at 730/1825(i think...)/1000

Could push the core to 750 / shader 1880 stable, but the temps are
crazy over 70+

Was thinking of going for Accelero S1 rev2 and vmodding it to push
this baby way beyond. Anyone know how to pencil vmod this card?
I don't think I wanna do any soldering...

Here's mine. Could do better, but for now this seems to be ok...

Its crapping out at Core 800 / Shader 2000 / Mem 1100.
So instead of the above.. this is what I'm going for now. Will be doing better soon.... hehe..
Tonight or tomorrow will post higher for u guys to see.

Cheers Silverfire

Thing is, I have not found any info on how to pencil vmod for reference board.
Even if I could vmod it,... (solder/pencil) I would not know if OCP will kick in.
Dang... should have went with non-reference like Palit, I see some good oc
in other forums... as high as 900+ core clocks.

Hopefully I'm making sense and saying stuff above correct, as I'm new to
hard mod/ocing a vga card.

VID mod? Sure I'll try if you give me some info on it.

Mine idles at 47~50 in an aircon room.

You could try setting the fan speed at 90%, thats barely audible.

You can just lock it to 90% for good. I find that to be barely audible
compared to 100% fan speed. Fan lifespan at permanent 90%
shouldn't be an issue.

Your temps are acceptable.

I once reached 82 during load. Little did i know that my device drivers
smack the fan speed down to 25% at that time.

500 bucks. Ok deal i suppose.

Bought everything new a couple of weeks ago.

Feels good in terms of budget and low cost.
Feelings of regret slowly comes in... in terms of the processor.

Here's a small idea for you Liuteva.

I'm currently doing so just for the fun of it.

Take off the black metal piece from your 9600GT.
Have 1 fan blowing air at ur GC. That should reduce the temps by 1~3.

Bleh, thats a non-reference board.
Still awaiting something good to surface for people like me who
owns reference 9600GT

From browsing around, seems like a few have taken the dive and tried that out.
Over current protection hindered them. LOL, not only did they loose their warranty,
but now they have to solder it again to revert back to the original.

So far only non-reference boards get to go up to core 900mhz or even 1ghz(at madshrimps).
The rest(reference boards) got hit by a black screen when over volting.

New record for myself. Temps are just nice too

Yeah at that oc pass 3dmark06. Firefly test i open eye big big never blink.
No artifacts at all so i

Then load up Ati tool.... got so much artifact reported

My 9600GT actually only stable at 750/1850/2100

What I do is let the ATI tool artifact scanner run for over an hour on my GC.
If there is no artifact then I do consider it stable. Another way is to look at 3dmark06 Firefly test.
Both no artifacts / no issues then you may declare it stable. Of course u should make sure ur
GC is not over heating too

Mine now at core 750, shader 1850, memory 1050(2100) and I self declare it stable
I think its very near to the limit, no time to run tests lately. Maybe I can squeeze another 5/10mhz
here there.

Wow, still got people clocking and buying this card. My 2 project with this card phailed.

First is want to vmod. So far no good news for reference card.

Second was to clock it down until no need 6-pin power. My logic phailed. I don't think it works that way.
