Question about Voltage for 6800?

[VoBoy]

I'm running a eVGA 6800 on a NF7-S v2.0. Currently at 1.5V on AGP. Wondering if it should be 1.6 or not... running fine now but only clocked at 375/800... I tried higher but no workie. Would upping the voltage help... Tried unlocking the pipes... turns out after running it unlocked for so long i finally noticed artifacts... I thought it was the OC but i guess not. SO Vp stays unlocked fine. I heard to go past 400 i needed a voltmod? Would some Artic silver 5 on the card do me any good in performance. i know it would in temps.

NF7-S v2 + 2400+ @ 2.4ghz 1.8v 12x200
6800 12x1,6x1vp beta drivers 70.03?
512mb geil value

Try other drivers before you go messing with the voltages.

am running the beta ones right now....nothing too great here.
still...GPU Can't pass 395 MEM: Can't pass 800.

hope someone else can help you further, but i will try

you need the flash utility nvflash, use that to backup your current bios.

then take your current bios file and chance the 3d voltage to your liking, 1.3? 1.4?

then flash away with nvflash.

as a shortcut, you can use a file someone has already uploaded from mvktech. in order to change the voltage, you need a utility called nibitor 1.8.

after you change the voltage, save it and put it on your floppy boot disk along with the nvflash files.

then boot to floppy and use the command to flash to new higher voltage bios.

looks like a long process... thanks for the info, i'll give it a try when i get the chance!
