Default Volt modding Sapphire 4850 non reference card?

I've been trying to find I guide to do that on this card,but apparently there is none yet,the card components are located in a really different manner,I've tried to locate where to measure the voltages and couldn't find anything similar at the position the guides for the reference cards says to use.Has anybody made some advance on that for the non reference card?

For those how don't know this card,it's this one

It has a considerably better cooling,so it's probably more suitable to do overvoltage and overclocking without the need to change the original cooler.

Searching the board more carefully I found most of the points,most are totally differente from the reference card(I was able to found it seeing the components nearby them on the reference card pics),can anyone with a reference card take some good hi-defs photos of all the points(including the ones used to measure the voltage),including the nearby area?

I have two of the same cards you have.

It's the Sapphire 100245L - 4850. Has a special biggin' fan, which I replaced on both with a MCW60-R.

JUST A NOTE: Those with this card & the MCW60-R, you need to sand the stock holder down about a washers worth. Its too tall and will NOT make contact with the GPU. (I get 33C idle, 36-37C load on both cards now)

The basic areas for GPU & GDDR volt mods are the same, they're just in a different areas. I'm still searching around for the contacts to test the voltage with a DMM. So as of yet I haven't voltmodded it. I might just put the volts up in the BIOS.
