VR Features

Most of the modifications have already been figured by Shamino over here. While overclocking, we realised that raising memory voltages allowed higher clockspeeds to be attained in benchmarks, yet stability did not improve, and we continued to see artifacts even after scaling voltages. We have with us a little more trick to try.

By performing the above modification, you can adjust the reference termination voltage for the memory modules. We were not able to remove artifacts resulting from a graphics buffer overclock, but it brought about less visible "swarms" seen during GT3: Canyon Flight. We recommend you look up Vref recommendations on the datasheet of the memory affixed to your HD3870 X2 prior to attempting the modification.

As with all the other modifications within the article, set the potentiometer to the highest resistance before powering up and adjusting voltage. Not enough extra components on the board? Here's some more!

Ruby1 and Ruby2 didn't mind some "caps" on, but they are neither of French nor Dutch origins. The Japanese capacitors used here are Sanyo WG low ESR, 1500uF, 6.3V ones.
