RIPJAY Hardmod: Breaking NVIDIA's Rules w/ Shunt Resistor Piggyback, Ft. HiCookie
5,845We worked with HiCookie, pro overclocker, to modify a Titan RTX with a shunt resistor piggyback (rather than liquid metal). Benchmarks vs. liquid metal & stock included.

In this video, we take an NVIDIA Titan RTX video card to HiCookie and modify it with 8mohm shunt resistors. This is a more advanced version of the liquid metal shorted shunts mods for NVIDIA cards, which allows us to bypass power limitations (or lift them, anyway) on NVIDIA GPUs. This is particularly effective for Turing GPUs. We can increase frequency and overclocking headroom as a result of the higher power limit. In this mod and benchmark, we'll solder new shunt resistors on top of the existing shunt resistors (a piggyback mod), then benchmark the piggyback shunt resistor mod vs. liquid metal (in heavy and light applications) and versus stock. Note that you can't just run a wire from point A-to-B, because the card would go into safety mode and lock into 2D clocks. The same would happen for a 5mohm resistors on top of the existing 5mohm resistor. 8 seems to commonly work. We've seen one report of 7 working, but decided to go with the guaranteed bet. We'll next modify our other Titan RTX so that we can do some streaming on it!
