XFX 8800GTS Alpha Dog Overclocking AdventureThe Final Numbers
Additional Firepower
We crossed our fingers for an all-out test on forced-air cooling. An additional capacitor was placed across the Vmem rails so those little Qimondas get a good deal more clean fun. The Vgpu rail had one too. Sanyo's 6.3V, 1500uF WG fitted the bill for it's low ESR and small size.
I admit, it's not that small after all.
A few extra MHz were squeezed out of the whole setup, while a streamlined Windows XP Professional installation with Forceware 169.21 drivers took over our earlier Vista setup. We prodded the FSB a bit and tweaked out the mipmaps.
And we end off the day with...19643 3DMarks!
1.5V Vgpu, 2.11V Vmem.
Time for some 2560 X 1600 Unreal action! Good luck clocking guys! ;)

if only pple got time to test on AMD phenom 9900, 9700, 9600, 9500 ...
...always listen to teacher.
imho, since you're asking such questions, i firmly recommand that you dont do it..
its for those that void wty for breakfast.
1: Is this safe?
2: Where do I find a volt capacitor
3: How do I install a volt capacitor
4: How do I volt mod?
Im completely new to overclocking...
on air with the EVGA 8800GTS 512mb OC I got to
785MHz Core
1966MHz Shaders
2148 Memory
