Good work! Volt modding is easy to figure out if you can read a spec sheet, use a soldering iron, and have a multimeter.

Thanks, I just wanted to see how far I could push this thing

Granted a 8500 gt isn't much, but the extra clocks pushed my 3Dmark06 score up by over 50%.

I also did the memory but it didn't seem to help much at all

I'm sure they are getting fairly hot, I will try putting a couple of heat sinks on them later and give it another go. I may even put the accelero s2 off my 8600 on it for a better shot at 1Ghz core clock

I wonder how well this thing will handle folding...........
