Folks, I am wondering if someone can help me find the VDIMM voltmod for the DFI nForce4 motherboard.
Yes, I know that the 5V jumper effectively allows you to raise VDIMM as high as you want to.
HOWEVER, I want more **control** over my VDIMM, more control than the 0.1V VDIMM increments that the board's BIOS allows me.
My board already overvolts VDIMM by 0.07V - 0.1V (depends on the BIOS VDIMM value) of what is set in the BIOS when on the 4V jumper. 3.6V in the BIOS, is actually 3.68V, measured with a multimeter. If I set VDIMM to 3.7V in the BIOS, it's actually 3.78V, measured with a multimeter. VDIMM at 3.8V in the BIOS, is actually 3.9V on the dot measured with a multimeter.
This really sucks, because I want to find my BH-5 memory's absolute overvolt peak, where it stops seeing gains of any sort. I want to be able to adjust my VDIMM voltage in 0.03V increments when on the 4V jumper, in order to accomodate this.
With a voltmod, I would be able to increase that overvoltage to ~0.1V, or 0.15V, allowing me to "adjust" VDIMM in whatever increment I please.
I hope that makes sense. I want to voltmod my board for better VDIMM voltage control, not higher VDIMM overvoltage.
Any thoughts?
