Looks like some tasty stuff going on here.

Yea, I know the OCN sticky is missing a lot, but it's more for archive purpasses that a teaching handbook. Nice to have a compiled list of comfirmed mods, so you don't have to search through threads looking for a completed mod.

If you guys like, I could post a copy of the archive here.

Found saminos OLD guide cached at vr-zone (DLed the pics and copied the text will post it up here if its okay with him)

Only thing it has no read points listed. In fact I cant find ANY read points anywhere for the EVGA N550

Still reasearching...


Okay. one 7600GT is the 7600B rev 2.3 PCB seems seems like its going to be more trouble than its worth. From what I gather it does not look like its going to happen. However, I maybe able to flash it to a KO so get some more speed out of it. (judgment call based on This link)

Other 7600GT is refernce design though so Shaminos guide will work just fine

When vmod guides say "replace resistor with XXX VR" They mean remove the SMD that is on the board and mount the VR? Or just add the VR over top of it? (confused because... electricity follows path of least resistance... so technically adding it on top and lowering resistance should still work yes? This way the VR can be removed later without worrying about trying to remount the SMD....)

I would just slap it over top of it and check it w/ the dmm.... The worst that can happen is it will not work.

Got any 2.5-6.3v caps on the card? If so, what are the voltage readings under them? Here, you should find a set for GPU and some for MEM. You can always get a reading from directly behind the GPU and off the back of each individual memory module. Comes in handy when you have +1GB of memory and a drop of ~.05v from one side to the other.

I poked around on the back of the card...

the 2.3 is missing a couple of caps vice the 2.2 Read 1.35 on a couple and 1.25 on the other for GPU

Vmem one reads 12v though :s Only thing holding me back on that card is read points.. the ICs are the same.. less CAPS means just less Voltage regualtion I would think...

The fact that one cap reads a full tenth off though well I dunno

Vmods is new to me... imma get my feet wet on cards that are well documented first.. figure out the ICs and stuff as I go.. figure that is the best bet and maybe as I progress I can figure out future vmods...

Any help you can give is totally appreciated though


EDIT: and yes was only a couple thumbscrew twists to take the HS off and the 3 CAPS by the GPU are marked 2.5 volts... other says 04v same size

(ther are 5 small on the 2.2 second from top is missing on on hte big cans to the left the bottom is missing.. ) the two missing cans

big and little can for vmem is present will start a thread on it tomorrow.. if you are interested...

If you post some pics of the front/back of the card while the cooler is removed, it would be easier to see what you're talking about.

Will do man. I took the snaps already , just have not uploaded them. Thought I posted the link to the 2.2 earlier but maybe i had not... I do realize I was not specific as to what I was talking about to, I forgot to say I would add the info later Did not realize you were still online

Gimmie a few minutes to finish my sammich and I will up load and post.
