How come my memory in Coolbits only goes up to 900mhz (1800mhz)?
Can I get it to go higher?

Use a 3rd party overclock utility like powerstrip.

Also, something weird is going on. On the desktop it looks like theirs artifacts, yet in games, it's rock solid stable with no artifacts.
A little Weird.
(and this is after I took off the conductive ink and the pencil, so their should be no vmod's on my card at all)

Thanks.
Also, I found an easy way to do the vmod with a conductive pen and a paper clip.
I basically streched out the paper clip so that it's one long peice. I then put some conductive ink on a peice of paper, dipped the end of the paper clip in the ink, and then applied it to the card. I found this to be pretty accurate and if you have a steady hand, you won't even need to tape anything off.
But it won't come out in one neat line, but it'll work.

I thought of doing something similar to what you suggest, but the conductive ink from the pen I got from Radio Shack dries so fast that it's almost impossible to do this. Pretty frustrating..
As for the artifacts, if you've removed all mods and are still getting them, I would clean the general area around the VMEM resistor, as some of the graphite might still be present and interfering with the electronic components around the reisstor. This actually happened to me as well, and once I recleaned the area, the problem went away.

I am not so sure about performing the pencil mod without being able to test the results... Can anyone verify if you can do this and get a good approximate increase with a light shading?
Also, is there a program or anything that can verify what voltage the gpu is running at?

Alright, I used the conductive pen to raise to 1.4v. However, it seems it didn't work because I can't OC past 515 on the core (fails test through coolbits). Is there a way to test to see if I have the two points connected? It's a little messy, but it seems like they are connected just fine...

OK, I think I got it. However, I am only getting 644/800 using coolbits. Should I try a different OCing prog?

Coolbits only goes up to 800 for me. How can I change that? BTW, just got 10002 in 3dmark05. Does the GPU seem pretty good at 644 with a VF700? I see you got 700. BTW, this is at 1.4v.

What is the best way to test the settings? 3dmark without artifacts?

RTHDRIBL . . .
