And I want to mod my Asus Mars 2, so I need some tips on how to do it ... I know many of you will say are you crazy? You will kill the card, and I am willing to take the risk.
Now back to the subject, on the back of the pcb is an area called (zone mod)
with some switch, to disable / enable like the OCP ets ....
I need some help with this.:D

I have a reference gtx680 from msi, and it's maddening me that I can't increase the voltage. So, I'm going to replicate the VID mod that was first posted on these forums.

There's a chance i'll ruin the card but it's a chance i'm willing to take... as far as I can decipher I need:

a 7 dip switch (they're all the same right)
7 4.7k resistors (can anyone be more specific)
a 30w soldering iron (recommend a good one)
a magnifying glass (the Richtek RT8802A is tiny)

After this mod will I need to flash a new bios to the gfx card or can I just flip the 7 switches to the correct positions and be done with it? I'd be content with a 1350 - 1400 core clock. I looked at the table in the pdf for the Richtek RT8802A so I think i'll try to set it at 1.3v then use msi afterburner to push the core clock up.

It all looks quite straightforward apart from shorting vid 6 to vid 7, that's just absolutely tiny. Yes, i'm crazy and haven't soldered before, but I will practice on some laptop circuit boards before doing it on the 680. Any advice on the soldering side of things (like which solder equipment etc) would be much appreciated (such as what diameter tip would I need on the solder iron to best do this.). Thanks for advice. ]]> All Things Modding baobeiiii http://kingpincooling.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1786 understanding OVP and how to tweak it. http://kingpincooling.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1785&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 02:11:30 GMT hey guys! im working on an Asus EN8600GT silent atm and im hitting OVP. the PWM controller on this chip is an APW7068 and the datasheet can be... hey guys!

im working on an Asus EN8600GT silent atm and im hitting OVP.
the PWM controller on this chip is an APW7068 and the datasheet can be found here:http://html.alldatasheet.com/html-pd...1/APW7068.html

ok now from what i understand pin10 is OCset and it controls the OVP and tries to shut down the Vout when the voltage reaches 135% of the reference voltage (0.8V +/- 0.1v). in my testing im hitting the OVP @1.4v ish

now i know there is a resistor between OCset (pin10) and ground setting the limit for the reference voltage and changing that would let me gain more voltage.

now if i put a VR in to change the resistance, 1 do i have to remove the original? and should i raise the resistance or drop it? im abit hesitant to try and test this myself as my eyesight isnt great and i dont want to fry it.

cheers guys, hopefully the info i have provided can help others too!


ok edit. i have been doing some research on this chip (APW7068) and i found that breaking its contact to ground will remove OCP. so to do it i only have to remove the resistor.

P67 MIVE - 3202 Bios - somehow the "xtreme tweaking" option got lost in the latest update...why???
this board pwnz MVG on raw clockspeed all the time and I have more than 12 month "in battle" with it now - nothing can beat "ultra durable" RoC ^_^

Cooling: -80°C cheap-cascade











So the new MVG has a big advantage in 32m an 01 - 05 also good...5.5 "lowclock" challenge anyone?!







01...without tweaking you are lost ^^

Nevertheless my problem is that I have oc'd my i7-3820 cpu to 4.75 ghz which is stable, but as soon as I switch my ram (corsair vengeance 16gb 1600mhz) from 1'333 to 1'600 in the bios the system gets unstable:shrug:

Can someone give me some clever input on this, the ram is rated at 1'600 by the manufacturer so I can't see what the problem is and I don't feel like investigating everything on the web to find the cause:eek: So I ask you guys =)

When I set the ram to 1'600 with the cpu @ 4.3 the system is stable to btw. I'm do not have enough knowledge to understand the relationship between the ram and cpu when it comes to oc'ing:( ]]> All Things Benchmarking... sjulven http://kingpincooling.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1750
