Hello,
I needed a Vcore mod so I searched the Internet but no luck, so I started to look how I could make a mod.
You will have te solder a wire to PIN 23 of the voltage chip that is located above the cpu. with a 10K trim pot to the GND it gives a minimum of 1.8V (Haven't tested more). But I doesn't help much for me I will have to test some more.
I will post a pic asap when it 100 % works

I hope you like it
hey srry but i've never modded a board before can explain it in sentences not pics plz? are those buttons? and what do i risk doing?? im sorry to be a pain its just that i'd like to stabalise my board at higher speeds as i can get bios at 400httX10 on my 3200
You just solder a wire to the spot marked with the red cirkle, then the other end of the wire to a 10Kohm Trim pot (set it to 10Kohm and turn it down to get more vcore)
Then an another wire form the pot to the ground (a skrew or a GND wire of a fan)
The only riks there are is making a short circuit with + and -
I advise if you never solderd you should let it do by somebody who has experience.
Good Luck ;)
OK i havent done this before. i have a trim pot but its like circular and i am not quite sure which spots i should be soldering to. there are like three connectors.
well two that are together and one by itself. well maybe the one isnt a connector. i dont konw much about electrical things cuase id assume there are only two things to connect to. but i just wanted to be sure. any help on this would be great.

ok! i did this mod. was really nervous about it cause i dont have a very fine point on my soldering gun. i taped all around it and then got it on there took the tape away and it was all looking great. then i accidentally caught the wire on something when i was putting it back into my case and bam ripped the whole contact off and now my motherboard wont boot or anything. Ahh well learning experience. got a DFI on the way but it was a good learning experience. just a kinda pricey one ><
If you can post some pictures of the damaged area it might be possible to repair.Quote:

Does this really works?

minimum 1.8v with what set in bios?Quote:
