I know how to do regular mods but how do you find a Tcore mod? I run into same issue with 8400 + commando. Bugs out @ -120-128C even though temp reading ignored in bios

Bump is good cause commando owns with 45nm :D

during our test the P5B DLX was happy benching mid -130C

i made it cold bug on purpose during load at -144C :shrug:
so must be a different limit on different boards i guess

No bug at -128 here with E8500 on commando. Coldbug approx -145 and coldboot -100. Bios 1605 and temp reading in bios enabled.

coldbug is cpu dependant not motherboard - my commando runs fine at -184oC on a 347, but yea a different 347 will freeze at -140.....

for all board perhaps, for this board I feel no.

I should probably reword my statement :)

Well, it's the caps, and not the "board", but there's no 'mod' for the mobo's coldbug... you just insulate the places better in order to keep them "warm"... of course you can go hardcore and change the "malfunctioning" caps, but I don't think it's worth it ( I had no problem with my boards here even at -178 ).

Actually, in the case of the badaxe you could mod it, because its "coldbug" was caused by a thermal trip - when the thermal diode was unable t0 read the cryo temperatures it rolled over into positive numbers at he other end of the scale so the board shutdown thinking the core was at +277 odd degrees!

The Gigabyte X38 DQ6 did that to back in November.
not sure if they fixed it, but you could get past it via just giving LOTS of ln2 at one point just before it reached the specific temp and thus by passing it.
