I think I'm feeling lucky!
What do you think would happen if i were to wire up the missing molex connector?
The traces appear to be there.

What are the chances of furballing the card?

There are a couple of components missing in addition to the molex connector.

Leave it to da Noobie!
Thanks for doing my leg work. :D
but I was looking for an excuse to buy an ULTRA :eek:
That's for a 6800 Ultra, I was talking about the GT.
Maybe I'll have to do the double dog dare :p
I'm not scared just don't want to hose the box.
 
i just measured from that point with my DMM and i'm getting about 1.3v.

i wonder if that 6800U BIOS would work on a GT?
 
once something new gets released and i start looking for excuses for upgrade then i start all the risky stuff.

not that im afraid to screw up a card, im afraid of having to buy the exact same thing i already had.

but yea i have my 6800gt pretty steady on water at 440/1150 max. It could use a little more voltage but 100$ for 20-30 mhz max just doesnt sound worth the investment. since the actual game performance translates very weakly into something like a 3% overclock increase yields 1% performance and thats only if drivers/game engine/FSB/Bandwith/latency/software. etc.. will usually be one of the bottlenecks.

i just couldnt find a situation where the core clock speed bump would ever change what settings i could use or

it does make it easier

yea ive also figured an ultra bios might yield higher overclocks, if like the 9800p/xt series the ram latencies get loosed a bit allowing much better overclockers
 
Forgive us, what have we wrought :eek:
Darn card ain't a week old and we gotta mess!
Trully [H]ard :D
 
how about that modded BIOS on VR-Zone. i'd think that would bump my core up to 1.5v. :eek:
 
Just flashed mine to the Ultra extreme!






April fools :DI flashed my 5900 U to 5950 U,went smooth. If I can find a PNY BIOS I'll hop on it.
Read back there at vr thread that the 2nd molex adds 5v? I thought that it added an extra 12v also?
