So, the story is, Ive got a Commando board (0902 bios), I do the vdroop mod only, and never measured the vdimm, I dont know why, I thought its allright and dont droop. My Corsair Dominators overclocks well, 800+ 3-3-3-4 and I dont know that something is not allright ere now. My friend give me 2GB ADATA 1066+ memory, they are GMH, and I cant boot under from bios 2.3v vdimm, and @ 2.3v 1066 5-5-5-15 orthos ram test stopped in 3 minutes. I said something is wrong, could be the memory, but I measured the voltage and looks thats not more than 2.05v, so now Its in the mobo 1pcs 512MB DDR533 Hynix module and running from bios 3.20v to 1 hour! and on the photos you can see the real voltages, 2.01v, and the ic's are 25°C hot, I dont think that the measure points are wrong, 2-3 points show me this result. so my question is wft is this :D

(DDRII Ref settings its all the same, dont change the voltage)

i think that all of us who uses commando have a same problem.I my case if i set ddr voltage 2.65-2.85 i got only 1.74v mesured with multimeter:fact: .Wellcome to Anus world:)

Btw its more surely to mesure vdimm directly from dimm socket .

wonderful :D thanks for the info, I dont know thats so "global" problem..
but that is strange the Hynix 533 module dont died from 3.2v if the memory was running at this voltage real. :rolleyes:

Can u please post a pic of the point where i can measure the exact vdimm voltage?
