1gb asus silent

where do i start

Second post has all the details on that one

ok i noticed a difference tho the cap directly below teh vga output connector is 5ks23 which is different from yours is that relevant?

 

[just_nuke_em]

It is not relevant. I believe that that value is the specific model # of the cap. It does not change the mod though.

oh and good job. This is going to be fun. ;>

I used some small stranded stuff, probably about 24 or 26awg. Just make sure you get all the little strands for best connection.

Old IDE ribbon cable works great, I just strip individual strands off the ribbon for vmodding.

Wow that's actually a great idea, I'll definitely do that next time.

 

[sunset1]

wow great ideas guys. I have tons of that stuff.. well a couple lbs anway.. :> OP you definitely deserve rep as welll as ftw 420 sharing that brilliant idea. im on my ipad and cant right now.. Thanks for all the help guys.

I assume there is only one inductor on the board? If so, there should be a ~0 ohm (or very low) connection from pin 13 to the inductor (doesn't matter which leg).
Pin 6 will be the mem FB pin.

25K pots should be okay for this right? Thats all I have right now, so I hope so. The card has two inductors one at each end of the card and I rechecked the ICs and low and behold what did I find but a uP6101 near the front inductor. It is pretty hard to see the writing and I had to pull out a magnifying glass to make sure. I'm just trying to make this more of a challenge for you guys.

So I guess that leaves the question of which pin on the 6161 is the one I want? Still Pin 4? The 6101 is for the vCore maybe? Pin 13 on the 6161 does read 0hms to the inductor closest to it. Here is a picture of the back of the card. The red arrows are the inductor legs

And the plot thickens.

The inductor and uP6161 on the left is for mem, mod point is pin 4. As to what the linear regulator is for is any body's guess. Might provide some other function for the mem.

The uP6101 and inductor on the right is for the core, mod point is pin 6. This was the same controller on my 1gb card, 536 ohms, I used a 10k.

Vcore and vmem read points if you are curious:

 

[Rasparthe]

Will a 25K pot work or not enough range? Pin 6 on uP6101 reads 678 ohms to ground. My only 10K pot is on the Asus Silent card, hate to have to pop it off to try this out.

Oddly, the higher of the left side caps reads 1.05v and the bottom one reads 1.49v as I would have expected for the vMem read point.

10K on Pin 4 of uP6161 works just fine for the memory mod. Up to 1.65v right now, the mod doesn't change the voltage on uppermost cap though....

The 25K will work, just means a lot more turning and it will be less precise as the resistance gets lower. Meaning, you may see larger bumps in voltage with less turns as the VR gets closer to 0 resistance.

Nuke deserves a lot of reps, he's been working hard keep you guys modded up. Great work in this thread man

No kidding and that doesn't even count when guys like me make it tough for him. Members like Nuke 'em are the reason this website is the best in the overclocking community. Thanks for your help Nuke 'em, appreciate all the time and comments.

As long as it is a multiturn pot, it should be fine

. Nothing like using a single turn 20k pot, on a mod meant for 10k, and the resolution is so low that putting your screw driver in the adjustment slot moves it just enough that the voltage jumps .2v

(and at the same time, you only want a .05v adjustment, so you resort to hitting the vr with the screwdriver to get it just right)

That reading of 1.05v on that side of the card is a bit weird, but I only called out those read points as it looked like they shared the same plane on the pcb, but you should be defining your read points by what you find is connected to the inductor (as that is what supplies the main voltages anyway). Also weird that they would put a core capacitor that far out... but w/e.

What are your guys thoughts on the Zotac GT 210 512mb ddr3 card? http://www.zotacusa.com/geforce-210-zt-20309-10l.html

There's better one's

 

[HobieCat]

How about the MSI ddr3 512mb? Or the Sparkle 512mb ddr3 card?

I've already got an asus silent 512mb version on the way, but I want to try other ones too.

The ASUS is probably your best bet. If I were you and had to have another, I'd get another ASUS 512 lol.

 

[Rasparthe]

It really is all about what DDR3 chips are onboard. I'm tempted to start opening boxes at a computer store to check out a bunch of cards at the same time. The Micron D9s on the Asus Silent seem to be the best so far, unless someone can figure out how to unlock the advance timings on the BIOS.

Edit i decided just to keep the card im done shoppin.
i just got the card from card central
they claimed it was 1503 mem
msi spec sheet shows 1334

Here is the mod for this card. Thanks to Badwrench for measuring the values.

Pin6 is the mod point on these uP1503 controllers. Mem measures 1.36k ohms, 20k pot should be fine. Core measures 890 ohms, 10k pot should be fine. Pin 3 is a good ground point on both chips.
