Gainward 7600GS PCI-e Voltage Mod Phatic has written us a nice article regarding how to modify the Gainward 7600GS: "If you own a Gainward 7600GS, and would like to squeeze some extra performance out of this mid-range card, then look no further. This article will show you everything needed to achieve some very impressive clock speeds, for quite a small cost."

Would this work with a 7600GT? 750 on the core though! Another 10 and you'll have a 10 of the speed of the name (7600) ![]()

This mod works on most graphics cards, though the places to solder on the pot's will be different for each. It's usually fairly easy to work it out, but working out the voltage measurement points is another story... ![]()

Hm, I might have a play around sometime soon and get the pencil mod worked out - this should make it a lot easier for those who aren't so confident with the soldering iron. ![]() ![]()
