BFG 7800GT VMod help.

[TheShane]

First of all I'd like to say hello to all you here at OCForums. :)

Now then, I have some Mini Volume Control VR's. 10k Resistance, 0.5Watts.

Would these work?
I got them at The Source (Which is totally RS with crappier stock. :P )

Also, the pictures on the VR site are down, and seem to stay that way.
Could someone help me out with that? :)

That's what I have.
Will that work?

No you want multi turn pots, those singe turn potentiometers are no good. They cant make percise voltage adjustments and get dirty and flakey over time and will result in voltage spikes that could potentialy dammage the video card.

Alright. Thanks. :D
So I guess I'll have to hit up a Source that could have them. Or somewhere around here! Cause I can't think of a place that would have them otherwise. :bang head

Unless you have an electronics supply store in your city (you probably do you just havent heard of it) you can order online from a supplier such as digitec or other.

EDIT:
Another good place is an online electronics surplus website
www.allelectronics.com
I have ordered a few things from them.

I'll check that out, but perhaps I have found some pots.

Perhaps one of these is it?

[Skeith]

Nope, thats exactly the same thing as the other one but in a different casing, your looking for something like this.

Hmm.
I'm not too keen on ordering stuff on the internet.
Because I don't have the patience. :P

I shall search around today and see what I can find, and then if my efforts prove fruitless I shall bite the bullet and order off that site.

Thank you so very much for stopping me before I did something stupid. :)

where do you live, Ill see if I can help you find a supplier in your area so you dont have to order.
