hey RacerX :)
which L12 mod did you do? is it a 166fsb sense mod or 200fsb sense mod? i've done both and i get different oc'ing results between the two.

I thought I was doing the L12 166fsb mod but when I restarted my system bios 10 detected my chip as 11x200. Hmm, so I flashed back to the 14 thinking my ram likes that one better and that detected my chip at 166 so I guess I've done the 166 mod.Quote:

IamAnoobieCheez, how have you been? I see you found yourself a new forum. Good for you.
ok then. yes i had gone back to 166fsb mod from 200fsb mod because 200fsb mod made virtually zero difference but the 166fsb helped a little. Still can't do 230fsb DC + fast decode all enabled for 3dmark reliably. it is hard for me to tell yet because i'm not done testing it.. i need more time to see how much it has gained or not and what i'm gonna do about it. :)Quote:

Yes i've been doing fine, thanks.. :) i also have few other forums I often visit.. my old home places :D
I can do the L12 mod this way too on my EPoX 8RDA+ can't I?
I have a 1700+ that won't go over 225 fsb
Vdd is @ 1.9 currently so that's enough juice, it's a C1 chipset
http://www.geocities.com/trats102002/nf7sFsbsense.html
I tried it on an 8rda+ with A1/C1 and it did nothing so i doubt it will help. Put Vdd up to 2v.
Hmmm... I voltmodded my vdd to 1.9v and that went well for a week... but suddenly I got blackscreens...
I have an EPoX 8RDA+ with a C1 chipset.
I mean the computer is still on, but the monitir indicator goes orange, thus receiving no signal or something.
Wenn I press the power button it immediately shuts down, instead of having to hold it for 5 seconds.
When I remove the vdd mod everything is fine again.
How can this be, 1.9v isn't too high for vdd right?
I have a DangerDen Maze4 on my CPU, a DangerDen Z-chip block on my NB and a GF4 block, also from DangerDen, so the cooling is more than adequate.
q149 has his vdd @ 2.02V so I suppose 1.9 couldn't be too high?
Could this be due to my cpu or something?
Figures... yeah well if I remove the vdd mod and it's fine again then I guess there's where the problem lies :D
Ah well I wanted to get an Abit NF7-S 2.0 anyway so I may just as well sell this board...
It's not too bad but if it can't stand vdd modding (at least getting it above 1.6v) then it's over for me very quickly.
I got some Corsair RAM waiting to be punished ;)

See if the Vdd chip or the one opposite is getting hot. I would bet that this is the problem area. I had to remove the chip opposite the Vdd chip the F7317 from international rectifier. I broke the original chip after pulling off a heatsink epoxied on (I had done the same before sucessfully on a gfx card). I also bought a 0.5mm tip for my soldering iron (instead of 1/2" LOL).

there are two pieces of wires placed on the appropriate socket holes for 200fsb mod. I just simply remove one of them and back to 166fsb mod. wire-drop-socket method.Quote:

Hi all,
Alright I'm running on the 8RDA+ 1.1 with 1.9Vdd and I'm really tempted to do this 1700+ L12 mod to change my CPU to 166Mhz.\
I've read all the posts and threads but the question is, I don't quite understand how it works. Am I suppose to close the 3rd bridge on L12 ? I read about the wire trick and there are so many diagrams on the threads which I don't know which to follow :(
Can anyone please help by telling me what I should exactly do on my Tbred 1700+ to run 166FSB thus gaining a higher FSB ?
I'm currently at 230FSB and I certainly hope for more ! Thanks in advance everyone !
Hmm. I still prefer it connecting the third L12 through window defogger repair kit. Don't forget closing the pit with superglue before... :DQuote:

The one on which I soldered the wires to the resistor, or the one to the left of it, the one you "broke" off the board ;)
I'd still go for this method:Quote:

Connect a wire from ah28 to ah30 and that should be it.
I almost messed up my cpu when removing the excess glue after 'filling the gap' :D
This trick is a lot safer if you ask me, and easy to remove... (warranty?) :D
Cool...that was what I was asking for, if you couldjust put wire or deffogger fluid between sockets holes instead of putting stuff directly onto the cpu. I have a few questions though. What kind of wire is that, and how is it attatched? Is it just bent and laying in there? If so how can you be sure it will touch the pin...or does the pin fill the whole socket?
thanks for this pic...it will help. Do you have any pics of the entire socket...that way i can be absolutely sure i am doing it in the right spot.
thanks

How did you do this :confused:
You just clean the cpu using acetone and that stuff claens away the glue very easily - I even havta watch that I do not wipe away the glue when having to redo it ;)
With acetone you can also clean off the tim of the core :D
I say easy to remove :toast:
I did this mod by putting a wire into the right socket holes and it worked, my xp2100+ boots now as a 2700+.
But I wasn't able to reach a much higher fsb. Before i ran 221x11, afterwards i could run 222x11 (223 and 225 also but not stable). The Vdd mod was much more effective than the L12 mod.
Still I'm happy with 222x11, I don't see many aircooled systems doing the same.
It's like HaLDoL says, just put the wire in the socket holes, be sure it's a thin wire though, or the cpu pins won't fit in the holes anymore :DQuote:

And you can be very sure it will touch the pin, just because of the fact that the holes aren't that big and don't allow (much) room for other things like these wires :)
How about a conductive trace between the relevent pins on the underside of the CPU ?Quote:

Less messier and easier than on the bridges at the top.
HELLLLLLLLP
ok basically i painted the pins under the cpu as a picture on here had shown - but now its reading as an XP3200 - default 11*200.
have i followed the wrong pictures? will my fsb most likely still be good - or will it be the same. currently as 228 fsb stable like i was at 133fsb.
cheers D:
Bye bye warranty then :stick:Quote:

Besides, a wire can be removed easily ;)
Imagine you sell your board or cpu, like I do sometimes, I'd like to sell it as unmodded as possible :D
