If you got any additional questions, feel free to ask. ;)

wow, nice job making that southbridge fit so well! jesus u practically stuck a heatsink on everything...any gains?

[celemine1Gig]

...any gains?

Hehe, how about stabilty far beyond 300MHz HTT and Vdimm upto 4V (see that extra cabling and the potentiometer :D ).
But anyway, got the mods finished today, so I had no time yet to fully test it out. Will do so in the next few days.

i meant before/after

i had vdimm up for my vx too, kept mostly everything stock...cept for some small heatsinks on the power areas

No real before/after experience here, as I had a real old Clawhammer when testing the board at stock. The CPU could only do 250Mhz HTT and nothing more. A really crappy IMC there.
Then I modded the board step by step and realized that it was the CPU holding me back. I just got new CPUs recently. All I can say is, it's very stable now, no problems.

And BTW, you got me wrong: I didn't mean 4V through the modded BIOS. :) My board has Vdimm powered from the 5V rail, that's why I have such big heatsinks on the Vdimm mosfets.

oh, mine came from a volt modded psu (3.3v line that i put 3.8v through)
