I'm searching for an mod of the vio and vcore for the Abit IT7!
Does somebody knows how?
Use the vid pin mod for higher VCore, VIO modding shouldn't really be needed.

Vidpin mod isn't enough!
Well it looks like you have a Northwood, and if that is the case, vid pinning should be more than enough. Vid pinning to 1.85v would mean about 2.2v selectable through the BIOS. Not like you should ever use more than 1.9 or so though unless you're someone like macci or OPP who go through processors like they were chump change.
No matter how good the cooling, if you pump excessive VCore into a .13 micron processor you're going to kill it.

Ohh if i make the vidpin mod i can raise the voltage to 2.2V? Just like on the abit th7 2! That's fine!
And I'm someone like macci or Opp! I had 2.56 on my northwood for a test! And it's still alive but i will not give my northwood so many voltage again!
Thanks for your tipp!
Nevermind what was here before, just read your subject a little more carefully ;p.

V-mod on the IT7 is the 6301 IC chip pin 7, 50k VR and work your way down.
It doesn't need I/O, my IT can run my mem at 239 mhz and my vid card at 98mhz, the thing only needs the V-Mod.
The board Rocks:D

Thanx opp! What poti should i youse to increase and decrease the vcore -0.5V - +0.5V??

Use a 50K veriable resister, start it at 50k then work your way down to increase your voltage.

I know bought the board and it's unbelievabel! The raid controller is very fast , and the bios got many options!
The only thing, i was wondering about, the board only allows a vdimm voltage of 2.8V and not like leo set, after i had made the vid pin mod, i could only raise the vcore to 1.85V!
Is there a overclocking bios? Or something like this?
Wait a second, you're talking about the IT7 like you said in your subject right? Because if you vid pinned it, you shouldn't have to raise to 1.85v as your default will be 1.85v (unless you shorted different vid pins for a different default VCore). Plus the IT7's default (yes that means stock, no mods necessary ;)) VDIMM is 3.2v, not 2.8v.

I made the pin mod, and the default is now 1.85V but i cannot push it higher, and ic an push the vdimm voltage only to 2.8! What bios version are you using?

Well, from my limited experience with it, I liked it :).
Didn't get to mount my MX-EVA3 because the mounting bracket broke. FUGGER was nice enough to ship me a replacement so I should be back on track next week.

8H, which I currently believe is the only BIOS. That really is strange. The main reason I went for the IT7 was the 3.2v VDIMM.
Edit: NM, saw they now have 8Y. http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/download/bios/it7.htm go there and see if using another BIOS helps out.

I now flashed the version 8h and now i can raise the vdimm to 3.2V but the vcore can again only be pushed to 1.85!
Hm well why that's so I'm not sure but if that is the case, you can just do a quick VMod like OPP suggested. HIP6301 IC just like on the KG7, KR7A, and KX7 so if you've vmodded any of those boards, you'll probably just have an easier time doing the "normal" vmod.

thats odd but i am gonna get this one also i do have to reformat i guess cause of the different raid controller??
Coolzero2k1

No! This raid controller is just great!
I had a highpoint hpt370 controller, and i don't had to reformat he accepted my old raid!

weird things happen here: I flashed the 8y bios and now my vdimm is limited to 2.8 when it was at 3.2 with the 8h bios, is abit downgrading here?
Coolzero2k1
06-29-2002, 01:33 AM
Just like i sad! The 8y bios limits the vdimm voltage to 2.8V
Hm well that's no fun, I guess I know which BIOS I won't be using...

Yes this board has everything that you need, but attention! Buy usb-keyboard! I bought the board, got home, and i noticed that i have no usb keyboard LOL! So be careful and don't forget to buy a usb-keyboard, if you don't have one!

Or anything non-USB that you need to use for that matter :). I had to go get a USB adapter kit for my "old" printer when I picked up this board.

yeha i got me a usb one laying around.
can someone who has done the vcore mod could put up a pic of the mod????
i think i know which chip to do..
but just want to make sure that i got the right one and the right pin...
Thanks.....
GOD.....:)

it7 vmod..... OPP posted one somewhere but heres mine
wont let me post pics
Send em over to my secondary e-mail at bigl@helpmejebus.com and I'll host em for you if you want.
As for the vid pin, my mistake. I noticed that the vid pin still gave you 15%-20% more than the selected VCore so I just assumed selecting the max would get ya over 2v just like on the TH7II. Unfortunately at 1.85v, the 15%-20% increase no longer applies; board seems to have a hardware voltage lock.
Don't have any pics myself ATM but you can just check out some modded KR7A pictures on various forums, note the orientation of the HIP6301 chip and copy the mod.

Sorry to dig this old thread up but the IT7 SUCKS for voltages....ffs abit get it right...I just swapped the bd7 for the it7 and the it7 is WORSE for voltages...
3.2vdimm in the bios gives me maximum 2.90 and 1.85 vcore gives me 1.79....even witha pin wrap.
How stupid.....:mad:

I have the ram volts back now with the a4 bios ...thanks opp :) and Im thinking of doing the vcore mod this week sometime.
Have to think about it....
