Safe Way to do Memory Vmod on 7900GT

[TheRyuu]

I might attempt the memory vmod again on my 7900Gt's. I ALMOST killed one of my cards doing it but luckly I didn't die and I got it to work again.

I'm basically hit a wall at 1620mhz and that's completly stable, but since my core speed is 700mhz+ I get a little memory bandwidth limited (lost ~500 3dmark's in 06, even worse with AA and AF).

So before I attempt it "again", just want to know some of your experiences with the memory vmod and some pointers on how to do it right and to some degree, safe.

I'm still deciding whether or not to do it, but try not to post stuff like "don't do it, it's too dangerous". Cause I relise that it's dagerous, almost burned out a card.

I'm also a little scared to try a memory vmod on mine.

Post some results if you find a safe way to do it!
