ti 4200 Voltmod

6th September 2003, 15:46

I've done a voltmod on my card, but I don't see an improvement in GPU speed (still 306Mhz max.) How do I test if it really worked? Like a utliity that reads graca voltages or with a multimeter?

thanks.

multimeter, most guides indicate too where the voltage can be probed.

vidcard voltage can not be monitored

you'll need a multimeter , what guide did you use to do the voltmod?
what brand is it?

there are voltage readout points on the back of the card, but these are card specific

I used this guide:
http://www.cluboverclocker.com/guide..._mod/page3.htm

It's a guide for a ti4600 mod, but my card has the same design and the same voltage chips. brand : Point of view

pic of the mod

Didn't consider the fact that I may have to use other resistors because it's a ti4200.
And how do check the voltage with a multimeter? Just hold the 2 'ends of the multimeter' where I soldered the resistor?

edit : pleeeaaase?

I'll do some googling (got a card from the same brand, and want to do a vmod 2

) ps: what is the brand model? I got the 4680 with 3.3ns ram. (= 4200 at agp 8)

well, I have the 4200 w/ 3.3ns. Does yours also have a ti4600 pcb design? Then the chips are the same (look at pic & guide), I just don't know which resistors to use. But if I someone could tell me how to read the voltage with a multimeter, I'd know.

is this yours? this

and I think we have to use the normal ti4200 vmod. got to play some swg now, but I'll look it up tomorrow if you want to.

just found this: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ghlight=ti4680

it seems that our card is the same? or very close to it anyway.
And: ask gamer

It's not an 8x AGP card. Just a ti4200 w/ 4600 design.
Just like the albatron from Gamer.
I'll post some pics tomorrow.

tnx allready

Pictures of the card :

front
back
Mem chip

edit : the only thing I need to know is how to read the voltages of my GPU with a multimeter.
edit2: I did the mod again, and this time it worked. Looks like the first time the rsistor wasn't attached properly (althow I checked it). wihii

tnx
