You're not even close to being correct, first of all, get some flux and properly flow solder. You forced it and as such weakened the solder joints on that cap. Secondly. I said DOUBLE the capacitor not... This? It means stack 2 capacitors either one on top of the other or literally stacking them and solder them. Right now you're not gonna get any improvement because basically you've done literally nothing. Right now looks like you got 3 capacitors. And 2 of em aren't doing anything- and the aforementioned flux issue. Also! I want some screen shots of the current performance.

DDAY3493 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I'm really happy that you told me this, and I will definitely send you those pictures of the performance. But didn't ssj92 do the same thing in one of the other threads?! I know he posted a picture of it somewhere! I can't recall where. Anyway, how can I fix this without messing up like that again?

If he did then he messed it up too. I thought I made it clear how to do it. That's what I get for not really elaborating on it. It needs to look like this. I insulated mine so I could prevent any possible shorts. @ssj92 did you make your cap mod look like this or like DDAYs?

DDAY3493 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 It's really hard to see on yours with the insulation (probably TG shield)?? How exactly did you go about doing this. It looks very cool though, thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDAY3493 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I took some pictures of the resistor from mouser. They look completely different than yours too! Or maybe it just looks like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very cool though, thanks for sharing! Not sure what you mean by how did I go about doing it? It's literally matching 2 capacitors on top of one another and soldering the ends together. You can see that in the picture. Those 2 capacitors are solid and there only 2. No gaps in the middle.

DDAY3493 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 To be honest I'm not even sure, the last time I did the benchmark for timespy and firestrike, is wasn't much higher! The last time I had 6716. The graphics score 7481 and CPU 4254 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why you do a before and after. Your scores actually did better than mine with that card. Also your driver's are setup as a RTX 2080? I use the actual quadro drivers. This is my mistake though, I completely overlooked your capacitor being a different color from mine. It looked way wrong from my perspective. As it stands yes you've done it correctly but I would touch up that solder joint with some flux and flow it so it doesn't crack down the line. Other than that you did 200 points better than my 5000. Shoot me a DM to the link on your results Im very curious. Spoiler Alienware 18 R1 / xR3: 4940MX-4.3GHz / RTX 5000 - 16GB / RTX 2080 🙂 Alienware M17x R5 (Ranger): 4940MX 4.35 GHz / RTX 4000.
