ChainTech VNF3-250 Vcore and VDIMM mods?

[afireinside]

I know the PCB and mods are the same as the Zenith NF3 150 board but does anyone have detailed pictures of the two and some tips for the noob? This will be my first time Vmodding. Like what size wire should I use and stuff?

SOMEONE HAS to know... Also, where would I probe with my multimeter to get the Vcore and VDIMM?

I need the Vcore mod more than the VDIMM for now...

Can you post the markings on the ICs around the socket and the dimms?

Yah... what hellfire said. Google usually returns the pdf if you can find the vreg's. This will reveal which is the sense pin. Start practicing on something. I haven't done a lot of vmods but I am 3 for 3. Wouldnt have been possible without the 56k modem I practiced on. I gave it a full head of hair (wires).

I'd imagine the reason you didnt get a lot of responses is because the second part isnt really all that specific and has been coverered. 15w iron works ok for vmods. I got a 15/30 so maybe if I need the juice for something like pulling a cap out I'd have fighting chance. Thin wire not stranded. I like this stuff they have at radio shack called tip cleaner/tinner. I'm a noob too.... tinning is a be-otch... or at least it was.

Sure is fun. Everytime gives a certain sense of satisfaction. I was so satisfied with my work yesterday I up and made this sig. :D

Did you ever try the volt mod's? I am thinking of trying the vnf3-250 or maybe the MSI K8N neo platinum when it arrives any day now, although I am not sure if I can justify the extra $50 for a couple features (firewall, etc.) I will not use other than the extra vcore the MSI offers over the VNF3. How do you like yours?
