AN50R Vcore mod

[sexsymbol]

I´m done with the vdimm mod, no going for the vcore. Couple of questions:
- In the bios I have to set auto, or I set the highest value posible??
- How many ohms are necessary to get 1.85v?? Don´t need the exact number, only more or less, to know how much I can turn the vr without risking the hardware.
Thanks for the answers!

You should set the Vcore to the lowest value before attaching the VR.

I dont know the needed resistance to hit 1.85v, but you shouldnt do things like this based on "number of turns to hit 1.85v". You should always do it based on the voltage reading as you adjust the VR.

The number of turns will change based on what setting selected in the bios.

When you mean the lowest, you mean 1.45v right?? The shuttle allows you down to 0.8v, but I doubt you can boot at that voltage. Just to get sure don´t want to kill another mobo.

10K will give a 0.1V overvolt

so using a 5k fixed and a 5k vr booting at 1.45v should give me 1.55v right??

I answer my self. Booting with 1.45v set in bios and a 5k fix plus a 5k vr (Measuring with the multimeter gives 9.5k), gives 1.65v. Thanks for the answers!

Whats more safe to adjust the vcore with the vr or directly in bios??

use the VR

i've used the bios and the vr, makes no difference..

both are very safe

I use a fix resistor, that gives me like 0.2 more volts and the rest with the bios. Works great!! Really easy.
