All right, as the thread says, I have finally finished the voltmod to my XT's GPU.....and it looks great. I ended up going with a 10k pot as that was all I could get my hands on. The problem now lies in measuring the voltage/resistance properly so that I don't do any damage to the card.
As we speak I'm looking at my multimeter, trying to figure out how to measure the resistance properly. Under the Ohms section I have the following options: 200, 2k, 20k, 200k, and 2m. If I set it to "200" and check the XT (yes in the proper spot) the multimeter reads about 11.2. Is this 11.2k??? I am not looking to go any higher then 1.8v or so on the card and I REALLY need to know what I should be reading with the multimeter in order for this 10k pot to give me 1.8v or so. I would really like help with this if anyone has an answer for me.
In short..... 1) am I reading/setting the multimeter correctly? and 2) what should the multimeter be reading for me to achieve 1.85v?
