Oh, and I am pretty sure the square 24pin one is for the GPU. All the other PCBs Ive seen look almost the same at the video out side of the card. And on the left, the mem was on the bottom left, and the GPU right above that. Only thing is, how to tell which pin it is.

This is the problem! You will need the data sheet to figure this out.

I was agreeing, Ive looked all over and cant find anything.

Any ideas of any soft mods that might work? The GPU voltage tuner at XS didnt work. Not sure if any BIOSes increase that much.

For the memory, where do I check the actual voltage at?

Any way of telling if its the right resistor by the resistance it has? Using a ground on the card and prodding some of them around the chip, most either do nothing, read 60 Ohm, a coupld in the 400s, one in the 200s, one in the 600s.

Did you try RivaTuner to change the core voltage (Look at the links posted)? I did try this method on my 9800Gx2 and it worked just fine. Regarding to the ram voltage you will have to make the mod and than poke around the card while running looking for like 2.0-2.1V.

No, havent tried them. But the card doesnt have Volterra parts. Thats why the one voltage adjuster wouldnt work.

Back to the M23 chip for a second. I tested each pin, one give 512 Ohm, one 5k, and one 9k. None of the others had a solid reading. Some would flash, then read 0. I followd the line from the 512Ohm one, and its a resistor right next to it, and it reads the exact same.

Which is the M23 IC? Are you referring to the IC above the ram voltage regulator?

Yeah, the little square 24pin one.

Yeah this will be tough to find out without a data sheet. Can you give me a HD picture of this and the surroundings? I'll try to see what I can find out.

All Ive got is a 7.2Mp Cannon. Ill see what I can do.
