Just got this Epower V. I always wanted one of the older Epowers so much so that I made a few power cards of my own out of old gpus. If theres interest I'll post those older projects here.

More power for your graphics card!

As in literal electricity, or processing power?

As in supplying extra electricity. 

Extra processing power is from the overclocking with the extra juice!

Ah, I heard about “original overclocking” and that you needed to solder, but I didn’t know this was how

There's other hard mods you can do to video cards. This one just pretty hardcore. Double the v-core no problem. Great for extreme cooling and benching.

 

Im not good with hard mods. Usually kill whatever I try on lol. Last time it was a Dual sata II s939 and FX-55. Yea I blew up the board and chip on liquid cooling with an audible POP sound and some burnage. Thats was years ago lol.

The epower is meant to increase the voltage and current beyond what the stock vrm is capable of for ln2 extreme oc. Here's the first victim a gtx570. Just testing my setup with this. I just pulled the chokes and added more solder to a few places. Already have the vram and pll volt mods done.

E Power's are great, they do supply extra juice for the extreme stuff.

It's an outgrowth of what people used to do related to what was called a "Zombie".

 

That was taking a dead GPU and sawing the power/VRM part of the card off, modding and using it to do the same thing. An E Power just makes is easier than having to create such a thing on your own.
