Well, there's a mod bios which only takes it up to 2.8v. I need around 3.1v for my GeIL ram. So if anyone that knows what they are doing, could take the time to find out what I would have to do, I would greatly appreciate it.

Basically, I'll need a pic of which chip to mod and what pins, but then again, you all know what you are doing, so have at it.

Thanks in advance.

BTW....here's a link (http://www.giga-byte.com/products/8sq800.htm) to the motherboard.

Well,
With my experience from that mobo, why do you need the mod? When I tested it, it couldn't go past 169fsb at any mem timing.
If your cpu won't allow you to go that high then you don't need the extra voltage. My GEIL PC3700 hit ddr466 at cas2, 5,2,2 at 2.8v on this mobo. It's a cool mobo, just not for XtremeOverclocking

Reason is that I need about 2.9-3v to hit 450ddr with my GeIL PC3200
