i just did a pencil mod.....and i am now running it at 1.40V (stock being 1.258)
now the max temp i've seen after stressing it is 75 degrees....but i had to reduce my core clock and memory clock to 690/1080 from 700/1090
and from furmark test, my score gave a jump of 1500 points (compared to everything stock) done at 640x480 at 0 MSAA
the question is.....is it WORTH?
or shall i go for soldering?.....m a noob at it

i dont understand.....i bios modded my gpu, increased the voltage from 1.258V to 1.4V
and when i run GPUtool stability test, it shows error at 680 core and 1085 memory
then y did i do all these things....whn i had to reduce my clock
i had a stable 700/1090 clock without all these mods
but i dont know about benchmark tests

I wouldnt push it any further until you get those temps lowered so you dont overheat your card and damage it.

no...no thermal paste, no fan reseating, no external fan....but my voltage is 1.4V, i think if i reduce it to 1.35, it wudnt hurt much
and i have a lot of confusions,
i have flashed the bios also,and after setting its voltage to 1.4V, wat do i do?
does flashing gives me some room to overclock some more>>>>
please, help me...i've been confused since long

and please explain to me precisely that where exactly i have to rub the pencil as in this pic
just at the portion where the pencil is being shown? or at other places too

Flashing with a modde BIOS as in upping the voltage will give you some room to play with. Do you have a DMM to verify that you have actually increased its voltage. And in the pic you would pencil over the resistor that the VR is soldered to. Is your card identical in every aspect as the card in the pic. It would help if you could post some clear pix of the card so I can help you figure this out. Nice clear pix to where you can read the #'s off the IC's. Thanks

Thats cool man, whenever. A hardmod is a hardware modification to where you increase the voltage by soldering on a VR on the FB to decrease its resistance therefore increasing its voltage. A softmod is a BIOS flash and Im not sure where penciling falls in place but if I were to say, Id say penciling would be a hardmod as well.
