Hi guys! i've found a P4P800-E deluxe and i want to full-mod it...

so let's start... i 've done the Caps-mod and it works! if u want i can post the pics...

Now i want to make : Vdimm, Vagp, and Vdrop mods..

On the web i've found a lot of guides about this mods ( no guides about the P4P800-E deluxe, but the normal ones)..

For the vdimm and vagp i think is easy. i've to find the chips LM324 and LM358 ( on the mobo i see two LM324 :confused:)

So the real problem is the vdrop mod... the pics on the web are for motherboard with different design... i can only find the correct area but i don't know how to proceed

pls help me ! :)

On the ADP3180, the Vdroop is controlled via pins #17 (CSSUM) and #18 (CSCOMP).

It was hard to tell exactlly where the traces coming from these pins were going due to the thick white line present, but do a connectivity test between between those pins and the capacitor I pointed out. If they are connected to each end of that capacitor, then you can solder your VR to the ends of the capacitor, or to the solder pads behind it as they are also connected to it.


I did the conductivity test. It seemed to have worked out. I haven't done the mod yet. I am probably not going to do the mod until I get my x800 back this week. After that conductivity test I would say it would work and go for it. I will be trying it later this week.



It works! Theres still a tiny droop but nothing like before.

Before: idle 1.62v load: 1.55v
After: idle 1.63 load: 1.60 - 1.62v

So it's works.. but i want a confirm from u pros :D
I'm italian and my english is bad, so maybe i don't understand something and i want to be safe :)

P.S. maybe in the guides we can make a full guide of the P4P800-E deluxe :up:
