Hello!
I have Gigacube radeon 9200 128 bit with stock frequences core 300/ mem 460
but it is a poor overclock! So i would like to voltmod it. I saw someone do
it and it turned out great but I am not 100% sure how to do it becouse
pictures I saw where not so clear to me. I have resistor for voltmod but I
am not sure where to solder it. So if anyone has some pictures or
descriptions how to do it, please E-mail me I would appreciate it! Thanks!

PS: Sorry on my bad english :)

A pointless exercise to do this. Even assuming it works, you're overvolting
slow 230Mhz memory and a slow RV250 core that has 2/3 the bandwidth of the
8500's R200 core. For 2D the 9200 is excellent. For 3D work it's adequate,
but overclocking it won't make it equal an 8500 128Mb or even a straight
9600 non pro. Accept it for what it is or upgrade.

Ok! Thanks for your information.

I just checked in Everest home edition end it says that core is not RV250
but RV280, does it make any difference?

Sorry, my mistake...a 9200 is the RV280 core. The 9000 is the RV250. Only
difference between the two is AGP8X compliance in the RV280, which is a moot
point indeed on a GPU of this type. Not worth it.
 
This is what I was trying to do :

That's v-moddin, risky game mate. the card had shite memory but
9500/9700 reference pcb with 'L' shaped memory, I find it difficult
to accept he got away with it on passive cooling.
Atitool doesn`t help. Thanks anyway! :)

ATi tool running for 1/2 hour on both core & memory will give you some
indication of whether your card is worthy of any mod.

Another, and there are many alternatives, is :

I think it's worth it to try. Because if he burns it out then he has a good
excuse to upgrade to a card that will do what he wants out of the box.
