Volt Mod 7950 GT KO Superclock

[DasFox]

Can the Evga 7950GT 512MB KO Superclock handle a low volt mod, the same as if you did a volt overclock on a CPU? What I mean by this are they just about as sturdy handling volts, or not so?

I know how to overclock a CPU, but I've never really gotten into overclocking video cards other then cranking them up with Coolbits, and that's it.

But I would think that if you know how to overclock, and you don't volt the video cards to much and keep them cooled then you might be just as safe.

Anyhow what's the thoughts on this, how easy, and how far can you volt? What are the safe volt ranges, and does anyone have a TUT for volting these cards?

THANKS

Looking at a bad newegg picture, I'm pretty sure it's possible.

I'd go up to 1.45v on the core. 1.4 if you absolutely want to play it EXTREAMLY safe (i.e. your paranoid).
No vmodding the memory though. Screwed me over big time.

You'll probably be able to hit 650 on the core.
The stock core is already 600mhz IIRC, but what voltage does it run in 3dmode?
Does it automatically kick it up to 1.45v (like on some of the other 7900GT's evga made?)

Safe volt rages from 1.4-1.55v. Although I'd probably never go past 1.5v.
And I believe the same 7900GT vmod tutorial still applies.

Ok say what about this program, nibitor?

Someone mentions that you can use it to pump up the volts without using the conductive pen or solder on the board.

I read this:

first check your bios with NiBiTor and see what VID it has set under performance mode, if for some reason a lower VID is set it is possible that changing it to a higher VID will switch to that higher voltage level. The mod is about the easiest you can do and does not require soldering. I lock the VID out at the base 1.2v and use the mods for constant voltage as I have had issues with Nvidia's performance mode selection not functioning correctly (getting stuck in 2D mode).
