Introduction
In a previous article, we were demonstrating how it is possible to dramatically improve the cooling system of a Radeon 9600 XT.
After applying those modifications, we were able to overclock the graphic card from a 400/310 GPU/memory ratio to 540/400. But at the end we were a bit disappointed not to be able to push it further despite a powerful cooling system much better than the original one.
So we decided to modify the working voltage of this graphic card, while accepting the risk of destroying the GPU during that type of operations!!
If you do not feel like trying this modification, this is understandable because there is really a risk. If you want to try it out, we will not be responsible if anything goes wrong. Warning: do not try to modify the voltage of the GPU if you have not previously improved the cooling system of the graphic card!!
