Don't think you'll have to worry about OVP on air. If you hit OCP, a voltage increase in BIOS has solved it on a couple of my GT's.

I would start off at ~1.25v. You should be able to easily get it up to ~833Mhz core and ~1950 shader. If you can keep temps under ~55C you can push ~860Mhz/~2050 shader.

I live in Australia and I've spent the last few days trying to find a computer store that sell VR's. Would they sell them in electronics stores? I'll check anyway.
By the way, what VR should I get. I was thinking of around 2-3k for Vmem? I'm inexperienced and young, is my excuse X(, but I'll try irritating you as little as possible with such questions in future posts.

What are your resistance values for your vGPU and vMEM mod points? Tkae the resistance and multiply it by 20. The the approximate size VR you need.

EXAMPLE: Lets say your reading is 4.5KOhms, 4.5 x 20 = 90KOhms, then a 100K VR would be in order.


Feel free to ask as many questions as you need to.

BTW, welcome to OCN.

A store that sells electronic components should have them; something similar to Radio Shack here in the U.S.

Hang in there bro. And like Pizza says "Never hesitate to ask a question." The only dumb question is an unasked one....

Oh yea, when you're shopping for VRs, they are commonly called "potentiometers".

There seems to be a computer swap meet on next Saturday, exactly a week from now. I should be able to pick up a VR there, hopefully (no computer shop I've called has a VR!!). I'm looking for 15K, correct me if I'm wrong.

640ohms x 20= 12.8K
I should be looking for a 15k then, right? Or is it a bit too high?

Get a 20k. And like pizzamman astutely pointed out, they may be called potentiometers. Just ask for potentiometers, variable resistors, or trimmers and they should get the idea.

A 20k should do you fine. After it's set to the max Resistance and soldered into the circuit, it will drop in Resistance value on it's own---freaked me out. That 20k should give you some headroom before the drop.

15K or 20K either should work fine. I just went to the local Radio Shack here for a 15K VR for a mod I'm working on and they didn't have any. I ended up have to settle for two 10K which I plan to bridge into a 20K VR.

Yea, if you ask for variable resistor at some shops they look at you like your crazy. Then you go back and ask for a potentiometer or trimmer and they know what you're talking about.

If I'm gonna do the Vgpu mod I'm gonna have to get a 30k resister, in case no one has any, I'm gonna have to bridge them, can you tell me how to do that?
