Hello, I read on the OCforums about volt modding with a pencil. I did it today and my core was around 1.8V and I only had about a 5mhz gain.... Should I draw the lines harder, I used a 2HB pencil and it seemed to work (my videocard isn't smoking) Whats the deal?
 
what was the voltage after the mod? It may take a few more strokes to get the volts up a tad more.
Or you are running into a heat issue. where your card was stopping cause of heat, and the voltmod won't help much at that point. Cooling would be more benificial
 
Double check the new voltage then. You went up .1V yes? from stock? seems you should get at least 20-25Mhz from that
 
Feel the heatsink after about 10min of heavy usage, is it hot? Also, did you use a multimeter to test the resistance?
