Need help pencil shading.

[Nocturno_culto]

I just have som question. I was just wondering. Where I am going to put my pins
on my multimeter ? between VMem Measure and grund on the picture where its marked green.

is that correct ?

[STEvil]

use a mounting hole for ground. Green mark "VMem Measure" is where you will measure vdimm at.

I dont understand sorry:( :( :( , can you explain a little bit more ? If you can show with picture that wound be great.

[BenchZowner]

put the one probe in a black cable pin on a 4pin molex, and the other probe on the leg of the mosfet marked with green

SO I just put the red pin from the multi on the mb where is marked Measure, and the black pin from the multi on any ground ?

But This then. witch one of them? both ? or just one of them ?

what are you trying to accomplish? From your linked images it seems you dont know what mod you are trying to do? Each image shows a different mod?

I know. I'n trying to find who much the vdrop is. The different picture, was just chaos on mye computer

Thx for a good picture. But there are 2 point thats marked, I am afraid to destroy my mobo.

Is it the point 1 or point 2 that I am going to put my multimeter on ?

[jspace]

^^ Those don't look like measure points. If you were to tell everyone here what mod you are trying to accomplish people would be more helpful. Are you doing the vDIMM for the eVGA 680i? To measure one would put the red probe of their multimeter to the point marked vMEM measure and only that point. Bridging two points is not a good idea if you do not know what the outcome of bridging those two points. (SHIZZ GOES BOOM!:shocked:) The ground probe (black) goes to any ground; one of the middle wires on a molex connector is good.

Okey, I think that my cpu Not get that voltage that it need, i think it have a huge vdrop. Because when I oc my 6600 to 4.0 ghz it woundt be stable, even if i gave it 1.5 voltage or 1.8.

I am trying to vmod core.

I hobe that everyone understand what I mean ?

I just need to fint how much voltage my mobo gives the cpu. And I am going to use a multi to find it out

[Timbosan]

Post the picture of the VCORE mod you want to do with measure point marked. I believe the measure point is a leg of a mosfet. The mod is done on the resistor (pencil) or from the IC leg (VR).

I am missing the contact points marked with a pink sircle. They are instsead replaced with solder points simillar to the points marked with yellow.

I need help to measure the voltage of the cpu. Where do I place the multimetre pins. I know one is earth but do not know where to place the other one.

Photoes will explain better than text ( if you or somebody have the possibility to arrange that ).

Maybe you should learn a bit about electronics. It is easy to kill expensive hardware if you don't know what you are doing.

If you want the vcore measurment point, just search for vmod [name board] or something like that.

I don't know wich board you have so it is hard to help you.

It's evga 680i. Its hard because it is english, I am norwegian. I suck in english.

But it looks like everybody just telling me what I should do to find it out myself, and not showing me how to do it.

Which revision?

You could try some different coils and mosfet's arround the socket. Look for one that has the same V as your Vcore. If you've found one set a different Vcore in your bios and check if it is the same.

okey. But Like I wrote, my mobo issent just like the mobo on the website. So it's a little bit complicated

Okey. No one who can help me :(:(

[evoic]

I think people ARE trying to help you, but just as you are having difficulty expressing what you would like to do and why you want to do it - others are expressing difficulty in answering you properly.

1. You have the 680i or the 680i LT?
2. Is it the XFX, eVGA, DFI or other 680i?
3. When you set 1.8v in BIOS, what is the ACTUAL vcore that BIOS shows it is receiving?
4. Do you have enough money to replace your board if you do not do this mod correctly.
5. Are you absolutely certain that your CPU can do 4.0Ghz anyway.
6. If you are planning to hit 4.0Ghz, can you PLEASE tell me that you're running LN2 or at least TEC or a very high-end water cooling system.
....If you're doing 1.8v to get 4.0Ghz on air....you're a little nuts.

Answer some of these questions.
Write clearly.
Maybe have a person more fluent in English read the posts and assist you with a clear response if posssible.

I hope you are able to achieve your goal and mod the board so that you can get the results that you're looking for. SAFELY.

Okey.

1. I have the 680i not Lt
2. I have eVGA 680i mb
3. In the bios it's show 1.76
4. Yes I have enough money.
5. Yes my cpu can do 4.0 ghz.
6. I had 4.0 ghz for over several days. And the vore was 1.8v. No I am doing 4.0 ghz on air.

Did this help ?

[evoic]

Yes, this helps.

If your eVGA board is the 680i version , I don't understand why it would look different than the guide pictured in the first post.

4.0Ghz on air with 1.8v's is, in my opinion, wayyyy too much juice and speed to be running through your CPU.
I can't imagine what the temperatures are for that chip.

I'm guessing 50c+ at idle?

Why would you need that type of speed if it's harmful to the processor - long term?

If you're listing 1.8v in BIOS and it is readin 1.76, that is not really a major vDroop as far as I'm concerned.

If you do get the extra 0.04v in order to achieve the 4.0Ghz stability you're looking for, it's only going to increase temps to an even scarier level.

My board tops out at 1.6v in BIOS and the max is 1.54 Actual.

THAT is vDroop.

OKey, But I have seen people that av oc their e6600 to 5 ghz. howis that posssible ?

I'm guessing 50c+ at idle?

No only 27c

No only 27c

Then your ambient is 2c? :p:

[STEvil]

Anyone know where there's a review for this board? Allowing 1.8v through bios is a bit much. Are you sure you arent selecting the voltage for your memory?

What is your heatsink for the cpu?

The points marked in the pink circle are SMD capacitors and will not effect your vmod.

I suspect your cpu is overheating or some of the voltage regulation equipment which provides vcore is. Anything much over 1.65v on air with C2D's is pushing it.

[evoic]

Here's the link for anyone that would like to study the procedure for this board and offer some additional advice.

680i Pencil mods (http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4215&s=18)

[bassie]

Yes, this helps.

Because there are two revisions of the board. The board is the guide is the old one and the mod's dont work on the new revision afaik.

[evoic]

I'm just reading about the difference now.

I found these two pictures that illustrate the missing resistors needed for the original pencil mod:

REVISED BOARD LAYOUT

[STEvil]

You mean you cant do this with it?

[evoic]

Hmmm.

Not quite sure, to tell you the truth.
I was reading that the two chips (tantalums, ceramics, resistors??) above and to the left that are missing are causing the previous pencil shading volt mod not to work on the newer revisions.

Trust me.....
I'm all for receiving an education if someone has some knowledge to offer on the matter.

[STEvil]

Should still work unless the SMD item was just left on there to look pretty.

SO when I get my phase cooling it will be stable ?
