HEAT

Just for some simple minded people like me what the hell is a volt mod? (aka what does it do)

basically the same thing as overvolting your cpu(it enables higher clocks) as of right now, it's at 1.3v(supposedly the ovp[overvolt protection] limit(which could be 1.4v[i've heard both ways] either way, it involves lowering the resistance of the lower variable resistor and increasing the resistance of the upper variable resistor) hope that answers your questions

Does it still work?

Does it still work?

well, since he is asking $250, i would say yes

Well, I mean why are you selling it? It's a great piece of hardware... I was being sarcastic.

Because he bricked his other GTX285 and wants to get next-gen cards.

Well considering he is welding crap to his GPU and actually knows what he is doing id say beyond fixing


Thanks for explaining it.

lol, i beleive it soldering not welding, lol. i wonder it the oven method would fix it

 

[Twist86]

Well since I can't do either I will consider it the same thing...I mean you melt stuff together in both so its similar enough ^-^

lol, same here

man if you took a welder to a video card idk what would be left haha, but yes soldering, if you dont mind me asking why did you do the volt mod but not oc it?

it's still on stock cooling, and as for the other card, it's unfixable, borked two of the traces

 

[JlCollins005]

traces are fixable, ive done it on xboxs before

Yeah, depending on the level of damage traces are able to be fixed.

Soldering uses heat, welding cannot be done on electronic applications because it utilizes a high amperage electric current to create an arc that welds/fuses the parts together.

uh ohhh, modding does go wrong and when it does its an expensive one

sorry to hear about your misfortune-!

 

[just a noob]

card is sold

 

[ScottALot]

Wow, congrats! I didn't think a modded GPU would sell!
