8rda VDD modders - Where did you put the trimmer?

[MoodyB]

Hey all,

After reading the threads here, I'm ready to vdd mod my 8RDA+.Currently at 1.55vdd 184fsb dual channel, so I'd like some more juice to try and reach 200fsb.

I have all the tools, parts, etc... but I was wondering where you all fixed the trimmer to after the mod was finished?

Stuck it to the side of the case?

Soldered it somewhere?

Thanks.

I stuck it to a PCI riser card then plugged that into a PCI slot.

I use wires around 6in long to the pot and then usually zip tie the wires to a nearby cap. As long as you have the three pins on the pot insulated with electrical tape, the pot can rest right on the mobo without shorting out to anything.

Thanks for the replys guys.I dont have a pci riser card handy,so well insuilated and stuck to the case's back panel it is.

I try to keep everything self contained on the mobo. That way you can swap mobos without undoing the mods and even sell the mobo modded.

If I can't hit 200fsb with 1.80vdd, then I'll sell the board....

The new Soltek FRN seems to be able to hit 200fsb out the box, so I might go with that instead.I had very good experiences with their DRV2 and DRV5 boards before I upgraded to the Epox.
