PCI Express strøm booster mod

[Boralis]

VR-Zone.com har laget en liten guide om hvordan man kan få mere strøm til sine PCI Express slots, noe man få god bruk for ved høy overclocking.

 

 

Today's Graphics Display Cards come in several variants. There are the power-hungry ones which usually belong to the high-end category of cards. These require a power connector directly from the power supply to supply enough current on the +12v line to the card. For the mid-range cards, however, many of them do not come with power connectors, since the current they draw are within the specifications of the capability of the modern-day . This takes away the hassle of plugging in the power connectors for the user. However, this convenience comes at a price: There is a limit to the amount of current supplied to the card. When we overclock these cards, especially for the heavy-duty overclockers who modifies their cards and bioses for higher voltages, this limit can be easily hit. And this draws up a wall for the enthusiast, so no matter what cooling and voltages they apply, they find that their cards go no further.

Øker det volten til hele kortet (GPU, Minne osv)??

Det gjelder vel kun for kortene som tar strømmen fra pci-e slotten? Altså ikke de kortene som må ha en separat pci-e kontakt fra psuen?

Nei, modden øker ikke spenningen (volt), det den gjør er at kortet kan dra mer strøm (ampere).
