Default Need help volt modding Sapphire X1600 Pro

I have this really old school card. I want to volt mod and get a better bios f.ex using ATI BIOS editor, I can't use it myself thought. I can run the card maxed core and memory clock in 06.

Here is the card Sapphire X1600 Pro

First thing I noticed with it, I can't save the Bios file with GPU-Z... what now?

I only found a volt mod at techpowerup, but it was for a x1300 pro/non-pro. But the PCB's looks exactly the same.
Radeon X1300 Pro/non-pro

Here are a few pictures of my cards PCB.

Yes, I'm guessing probably will need 20K VR's.

So one last question I guess.

Solder a cable onto pin5 on each RT932 and then take the cable to the VR. And ground the VR?

right?


*Edited* Do you know where I could pick up a few read points for GPU Vcore? and mem?

So from the RT9232A I should solder a cable from pin 5 to VR middle and a Cable from pin7 to VR's ground?

This is what I've done so far.

Any good ground points you could point out?
