ipKonfig.com has finished up their Radeon Voltage mod on the Radeon 9700 video card with the Swiftech MCW50-T water block.
They managed to hit 500Mhz, but ended up with another result in their final testing. Head over and find out the end results.Read more
With the increase of voltage, as we well know, temperature rises, and ours raised to a massive 30°C. Now, 30°C on a video card is generally a good temperature, but it's not so good if overclocking with higher voltage being in the formula. Once the temperature went past 30°C, the graphic errors became even more critical, after playing the game a while longer, and the game had to be shut down. Of course when returning to Windows, we had a messed up screen as well. Powering off the computer was the only choice to abort any more damage. Remember, we're increasing the voltage and the MHz. The two will inflict much heat on the hardware, so cooling is of the utmost importance; I can't stress this enough! The final result, after many different attempts playing with the MHz and voltage settings, was a stable 452 MHz. Again, I really didn't care what the voltage was as I made adjustments visually, on the fly, during the game.
