[ztop]

hello..i'm searching for a gigabyte ga-p35-ds3p drop mod... someone can help me?
thanks

[bassie]

pictures?

[ztop]

i have no pictures ...sorry....:shrug:

I would also like to know this and voltage measuring points as well. I can take some high res shots of board if that would help, may take a day or two since I would have to disassemble rig. I have no problem poking around with a DMM, just can't identify the proper components.

i have found this img from vr forums...but this mod is for the p35 ds3...not for the p35 ds3p....

[ztop]

here we go... the mod for the p35 ds3 and the p35 ds3p are the same...

The boards are not the same, that is the DS3R in the link, the DS3P has a different layout. The DS3P, DS4, and DQ6 share the same layout. Take a look at the pictures in this thread, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=142340 , look closely at the top of the ram slots, note the position and orientation of the fan header.

This, http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc08545zw5.jpg , was posted over at the VR-Zone forums. Compare that with the ones posted in the DS3R review and you can see see the components are in different places.

you're right.... there is some differences...and at the moment i don't know how to do this drop-mod on the p35 ds3p...:shrug:

this is taken from a p35 ds3p?

someone have made the mod ?

this is the picture for your board ?

[ztop]

yes

I belive that is your vdroop mod.

Please mesure voltage before hand

[ztop]

i can do it with a pencil?
thanks

[ibby]

I dont see why not,
But i dont have the board here to check the voltages / resistance
so could be worth checking the other board and verifying i m right

[ztop]

someone have tried the mod posted by ibby?

The pencil P35 DS3R vdroop mod DOES NOT work. I did it last night and my volts tanked!!!! Normal 1.35 became 1.22 and load was 1.04v. I lost stability at stock settings... remove the mod and its running 3.6 @ 1.525, 1.44 actual now.


Sucks cause I wouldn't have ordered this board if I had known the vdroop mod didnt work.


EDIT - in fact just to test it again today. I made 1 swipe with #2 pencil. Booted up, voltage dropped from 1.49v to 1.44v idle at the 1.525v setting. Under load 1.44 dropped to 1.37 and the machine froze. SO, the pencil mod VR-Zone is touting actually LOWERS your voltage!!!!!!!!

[Adam217]

Any chance anybody ever came up with the vdroop mod for ds3p? I would also like to know voltage monitoring points.

[fishton]

I could hep you with the vdroop mod if you can get some measures :)

I ve modded the same chip on my GA-G33M-DS2R

could anyone confirm if this Vdroop mod worksfor DS3P?

thanks

[aoch88]

Does the vdroop mod also applies to DS3L?
I guess the layout of the boards are all the same so I believe it should work?

works great on my P35-DS4 Rev1 :D
should also work on P35-DS3P, because same PCB Layout :)

thx a lot dude!

[maxwolfie]

Confirmed working on P35-S3 also

also on my ds3!

Did you use conductive ink or pencil ?

[c00LhaNd]

i'd use an pencil :D

greetz

[quintus]

Did you use conductive ink or pencil ?

i just took out what was there(small electronic :banana::banana::banana::banana: like 1mm long) and i left some of that metal electronist use, so there is a short circuit;)

[maxwolfie]

Use conductive ink, you don't want resistance
