ok, I have a MSI kt3 ultra, I would like to do the voltmod for it that is foune here. (http://www.mods4me.com/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=16&page=2) (mods4me)
But in this artical it says use a 18k resistor, but is dosnt say what wattage. or volts the resistor has to be. I went to a electronics store, and asked for a 18k resistor, and the lady said to me, "ok, how many watts?" Any help on this wouild be much appreachited. thanks you.

Thank you soo much... My 2100+ chip is runnin 1.85v and seems to max out at 2.4, but i can post and boot windows @ 2.55 but its not stabel. So im hopeing 2v will help...
BTW, i really like the way this fourm is laid out...
Hope you can sucessfully do the mod, btw what's your 2100+ stepping?

damn that mod4me !!!
really confusing, it says 18k or 50k but which one to use ????
18k and 50k give the same effect ???
s10010001,
do u get 1.85v right after the mod or u have to set it in BIOS ??
how many ohm do i need if i want 2.0v ???

the mod4me page says to use an 18k resistor or a 50k pot - so you can adjust to 18k or something close. Dont use a 50k resistor youll probably get like .01v more.

Just for kicks, here a pic of the volt mod. It gave me a max voltage of 1.98v to vcore, I am no longer useing the kt3 ultra, but it was a great board. and a pleasure working with it. This pic was take right before i heatsinked the power regulator chips.
