Ok i measured again but this time i swapped the red and the black tip of the multimeter and this is what i got.

readings for the first picture with X1k and the black tip at the IC leg
16 20
20 20

readings for the first picture with X1k and the red tip at the IC leg
1 1
1 1

readings for the first picture with x10
3 60
60 60

for the second picture I could only find 1 reading which is the green spot to the IC leg on x10 the rest is all maximum even if i swap here and there.

3.5

Thanks.

not free mer... i cant help myself, how to help u? LoL

anyway, learn how to read the multimeter first. i still dont get you :S

can you take the pic i posted, and use paint to label the readings? as i dont get what you are saying :S

YAY! you're back ! Ok, I've seen videos of people checking the voltages, is it similar to checking resistance? They place the black tester into one of the pc's power output and the red to test stuff. I did my testings over and over by placing the red on the IC's leg and black one on the spots mentioned by you or vice versa, seems to be maximum for some reason, what am I doing wrong? i set the meter to the green one which is OHM X1k and X10. I'm reading the green numbers for the results. Thanks for your patience =)

no problem... but what is this?

i dont get what you mean by the bolded parts

for voltage reading, probe the area with the red multimeter probe i listed in my post #4 and the black multimeter probe, poke it in anything grounded ( like your casing)

Hey again ! Attached a picture as requested from before to clarify. For the voltage check, where am I suppose to place the red probe? I just randomly touched some parts and my monitor turned off had to restart.

LOL.. for checking resistance, do not plug the card in.. for voltage checking, yes its needed

here is the pic, its in the blue box, probe the legs, set multimeter to 10DCV or less, coz readings should be between 1v~3v max

I keep getting like a spark and monitor turns off when i touch anything with the probe. Anyway I checked the resistance while the card was out. I was referring to checking voltages.

you probably touched other parts with the probe, try not to touch the other parts, just a single leg at a time.. do not cross contact the probe with the legs.. just a single leg at a time

Couldn't get a single reading from the tips of the parts mentioned in the blue area. hmm...

hmm, thats odd :S try poking around and see

Sorry for the late reply, I still couldn't find the right point to test the vmems and vgpu. Anyway i penciled the 2 points you asked me to check before and it worked. My idle temps increased and was running well. Managed to overclock quite abit and stable so I decided to make it permanent. So I rubbed off the graphite and redo the shading and it seems that it become unstable.

glad its working out, please measure voltages

because it may cause irreversible damage to the core and may require RMA
