Well, the 9500 finally made 20K+

But she paid the price in the process. Note to self *use a relay on the pelt next time

So that's what the backside of an R300 looks like. It was a rude awakening with the smell of burning solder and pcb at 5AM! I really was aiming for the top overall ORB for the 9500......

That was a great little card, outmatching many 9800Pro's which btw will be it's replacement:D

I feel your pain brother. Oh well, on to better things, right?

Still want the card ?

[El<(')>Maxi]

That depends. What did you have in mind?

That's sad...pretty impressive score though. Is that the top score for a softmodded 9500? And what were your voltages at?

Not the top but close. Just some P4/EE and A64 guys beating me. Only one guy had better card clocks 478/350.

Gpu - 1.95v
Vdd - 3.24
Vref - 1.35

Never modded Vddq so I will never know what it could have done for this card. It was damn fun while it lasted.

I feel your pain. I was 3 points away fom reaching 11k with my old 8500le when a volt mod went bad and the whole thing went down the drain.

One quick question - those RAMsinks looks pretty sweet. What are they?
