Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-L voltage mod or lack there of?

All the mods so far that i have seen are showing leg 6 of the usual 8 pin IC connected to a ground via a variable resistor. i have done mods similar to this with my radeons but I have never done a vdimm mod to a motherboard yet. I get a max of 2.9v(set at 2.8V in bios) on the GA-8IPE1000-L(i865).

The reason why I am hesitant is because the similar mobo is the GA-8IK1100(i875) and the vdimm mod for that mobo is different but using the same IC as my mobo. At the same time though I know there is more than 1 way to skin a cat:D Check the pic below to see what I mean.

Here is the same type of mod on the anr50 using leg 6 or FB of the IC.

Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Since the chip is in the same area on the 865 and 875 boards you describe, it will still be PIN 6 on both.... just make sure you got the right pin before soldering.

You can check with a multimeter for easier places to solder too.

If you start off with enough resistance, you probably wont kill anything even if you solder to an incorrect pin. Done that a few times...nothing heppens

good luck

If anyone is interested this mod works. I simply am using smd grabbers right now 10k pot one one pin to leg 6 and the other to a ground. My BH5 is running at 3.17v right now just fine. Doesn't seem to like much higher though. Going from 3.31v to 3.38 made it more unstable. I backed it down to 3.17 and it seems to be about the sweat spot. I could do more maybe but I think I am pushing my processor too much too. It doesn't seem to like voltages above 1.52v. This is a 2.4C @ 3.4GHz 5:4 memory cas2225 with some pat settings.

So what's the actual vmem measure point on this mobo?
I'm intrested in so that I want to do vmem mod on my ga-8ipe1000 too :)

It has been along time since I did this. I think you can measure on a mosfet but I am not sure. You just have to poke around :D

Here is the tutorial I made for it.

Thanx, i'll check it
