X1600 Voltmods

[dibzye]

hi i was just wondering if any of you guys could help me out i have an sapphire radeon x1600 pro 256mb ddr2 agp and i need help with a voltmod as my overclocks are very restricted i know i can get higher speeds stably but at the moment i only have it oc'd to 645.3mhz core and 864mhz mem from stock at 500mhz core and 800mhz mem. any input from you guys would be much appreciated thanks

i noticed a voltmod for an xpertvision version of this but the layout is completely different. just thought i would let you guys know as i have already tried the vr-zone site and forums

Sorry compardre, I usually don't recommend voltmoding like that due to the very likely result of damage being done, and I wouldn't know how to volt mod anything anyway unless someone wrote a detailed article in some forum somewhere.

Since yer still probably going to do it anyway, a simple google search yielded quite a few hits. Slightly different card but you might look at this (http://www.sapphiretech.com/en/forums/showthread.php?t=3621).

If you wreck your card from the above though it's not my problem... ;)

I don't think its worth the risk for the extra performance on a X1600.

dont even try itll do more than wreck your card but itll wreck the warranty with it so u wasted a lot of money on a card thats already at good performance

this is only a stopgap until i upgrade to pci-e within the next couple of months. the card only cost me £100 so im not too bothered about the warranty to be honest after all the performance boost would really be worth it as i want to be able to run need for speed most wanted with AA+AF not just AF its really awful lol even at 1024x768. thanks for the help guys and when i get the needed components ill post with clocks etc
