You don't use a program to volt mod a videocard. You have to physically alter the card, in the form of either pencil modding it or soldering in a variable resistor.

Pencil modding is using a pencil to form a bridge over a specific resistor to allow more voltage to pass through it. The variable resistor effectively does the same thing, allowing you to increase the voltage supplied to the gpu or ram.

I strongly suggest you contact $SOLID$Necro on this one.

I may be wrong, but can you not alter the voltage certain components of the card gets by editing the BIOS, either downloading a custom one or tweaking it yourself (not avisable to somebody who thought they could voltmod with software...)?

I say I may be wrong because I imagine you do also have to physically alter the card to physically allow more voltage to flow across components, as well as just telling it to do so in the cards BIOS...

Only the X1800 and X1900 series allow software overvoltage via ATITool...otherwise, you'll need to do actual hardware changes with like a lead pencil or whatever people use nowadays. I've never tried it.
