Interesting page (in Chinese, but benchmarks in English) that talks about modding the Radeon 8500 Core chipset voltage using Variable Resistors soldered onto the 51031 IC

Make sure you bring extra cooling for a core voltage mod.

I upped one once using a replacement 820 ohm resister which upped the core to 1.68volts, but the core still refused to go much above 280MHz.
