HI guys, does anyone have one of these Zotac GTX 780 3GB cards and can tell me what this missing resistor value is?
It's the timing resistor Rt for the Vram VRM PWM controller so the value is important.
It's going to be in the several hundred K ohm range and you should be able to measure it OK in circuit if you have one of these cards, as it reads completely open with the resistor missing.
Alternatively a boardview or schematic would help
I have the Gigabyte GTX 780 schematic (attached) which has the same PWM controller (RT8811A) and that has 384K in this place on the schematic but is a different circuit as it also has a 47K resistor and 0.1uF capacitor here which my board does not have
The RT8811A datasheet typical application (attached) shows 500K Rt on pin 9 and does not have the 47K but has 1.0uF in this circuit
If i put the wrong value I will have the PWM controller running at the wrong frequency (380K->500K is about 100KHz different) and I imagine that would be a *bad* thing to get wrong
Cheers
