Amazing little card. I would love to see how further you could get with a modded A4000 SFF Ada, but tbh we have the new gen at the corner, hopefully we get more SFF cards!
@@amigodesigns it truely is an amazing little powerhouse. I'm definitely going to get my hands on an RTX A4000 SFF ADA. I will also be shunt modding that card when the time comes. The SFF market was kinda dry for a while, but it seems like companies are realizing there is a market for it! Hopefully more SFF stuff in the future.
Great to see you upload again my good sir 😇😁👍 The A2000 …… price aside, is quite an engineering feat for what this GPU can do 💪👍. The GPU shroud mod definitely helped with the scores, congrats my dude 🥳🥳
Glad you liked the video! I plan on being more active with uploads. I'm gonna try at least! You could achieve all of this for much cheaper, if you have the correct tools or know someone who does.
I've been wanting to mod my A2000 for a while now, but most i've done so far was a copper mod for the memory. It's been on my list for a while now, but seeing this video and the heatsink, i think i might give it a shot again. Granted the modded heatsink isn't in stock, so i might have to buy my own normal heatsink and mill out the spots for the caps/inductors etc. (from what i see, it's a 120x60x20 mm copper heatsink with milled areas for some components). Great video, isn't there a way to add more voltage to the card by soldering some cables to a molex connector or anything like that?
For this mod, I decided to skip the Copper shims for the memory and use thermal pads in between the copper heatsink and the memory. No issues for the memory temperatures that way, thankfully! Would love to see your results, if you decide to take another shot at modding your A2000! Those dimensions are correct for the copper heatsink. You will have to drill and tap threads into the block for the 2 retention screws on the back. Yes! You can go that route. Currently I'm drawing my additional power via the PCI-E slot. Which has the potential of harming the slot on the motherboard, if it overdraws too much power. To mitigate that risk, you can solder a 6-pin onto the shunt resistor to provide the additional power needed by the shunt mod Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching.
Wow, nice modding here. My card just has a shunt mod plus extra power adapter soldered onto it. Even with my oem cooler it was easily possible to get into the leaderboard (mostly under the 10th best). Cha0s2k is my name there. Wonder what oc settings you had for the benchmarks?
@@WiltshireTutorials lovely low power card with pretty good performance, i havent had any issues using the community drivers from the frankien drivers website
@@WiltshireTutorials my only issue with my card at least is i cannot turn up or down the power, clock speed or anything, and the one i have also has NO fan speed control. Even after reppacing the fan with a pwm fan (mine came with a normal 2 pin fan) it had no Pwm output on the connector. I feel like if a shunt mod was done, nothing would happen, i hope you get better luck with yours
@@WiltshireTutorials latest frankein driver from the frankienstien drivers website for it, its not really the drivers fault, part is the fact that the drivers are modded community and partly the hardware that makes this even work at all, These card do NOT work with nvidia official drivers, thats why frankenstien cards arnt too big of a thing but have great efficiency
The reason you are maxing out at 144fps in Apex is because you have a 144hz monitor need to run the fps_max 0 command in launch options to get past it.
@@DarrenPC Yes, I'm aware of that console command. I run games at their stock settings when I benchmark with no mods or extra commands. Really good tip for others though!
@@WiltshireTutorials that sounds great, from what i saw on multiple forums you have been a inspiration for many, myself included. Right now i am waiting for parts to mod my A4000
@@rusubogdan7030 Always cool to see people who get inspired by the stuff that I've done. Good luck with the modding of your A4000. If you need any help or have any questions, I'm always around.
@@WiltshireTutorials Actually i do have a curiosity. The way i see it, the process of shunting implies soldering two resistors in parallel with the connector resistor and the pcie resistor. However, I see that you don't have stacked up resistors. I am assuming that the guys from jk removed the factory r005 resistors and installed r003? From what i saw all forums suggested soldering r008 over de r005, and from my understanding that leads to a 8*5/(8+5) ~= 3mohm. Please correct me if i am 100% wrong in what i just said. Also, please excuse me if it takes two or three readings to understand some things i said, english is obviously not my first language.
@rusubogdan7030 no need to apologize, friend. Your English is great! I applaud anyone who knows more than 1 language. I've tried and can't do it! John from JK&G Ventures has his own method of shunt modding that is different from others. He won't disclose exactly what he's used on the cards, so I unfortunately don't have the answer to your questions. I could attempt to use a multimeter to check what resistors are being used.
