Ok...Now...I jsut want to rase my RAM Volts....So I would do the Vdimm (Vmem)...right. For that....is it nessessary to do the Vtt mod? Also...I have a prescott 3.2...will it be ok to use this cpu? If not, I'll steel my wifes cpu. (she has a 2.8 Northwood) My MB is ready with all of the mosfet cooled.

I even got the one below the agp slot, the one above the MB battery, below the ram sticks....mostly all of them! :banana: Im ready.
You surely NEED to do the VTT.........Well done with all those heatsinks......... ;)
Hello!
Huge thanks to the hipro5 for the detailed review on performance mods!
I had problem with overclockability on the RAM at 1:1 CPU: RAM mode, and I have found the man, which can execute for me all mods.
I have motherboard IC7-MAX3
CPU: Prescot 3.2E (CO)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Traiser Pc4000 4x1024MB
Video: Matrox Millennium P650
Thermaltake Xazer3 480W
SATA RAID0
Water cooling on CPU
It is impossible to me 1:1 CPU: RAM mode even 14x250 DDR500 3-4-4-8 with two ram (2x1024mb) at 2.8v. At Vmem=2,9v a system mistake in general jumps out at loading WinXp. At 3:2 CPU: RAM mode works 16x275, but CPU gives out a mistake at 1,61v Vcore, as strongly decreases Vcore. At 3:2 CPU: RAM mode 16x260 Vcore=1,58v all is stable, though Vcore decreases up to 1,44v
It would be desirable to receive overclockability on the RAM at 1:1 CPU: RAM mode.
My video not overclockability and I in it do not need. And I heard, that Crucial Ballistix burns at Vmem more 2,8v. Therefore wanted to ask, whether and it is necessary to me to make all mods?
Or to make only some is selective? Prompt please, I very much need in your help!
Beforehand I thank!
Excuse for my illiterate English.
You could do the VAGP mod(it's a must).......Vdimm and Vchip not needed......At least do the VAGP mod.......Quote:

Cas = whatever you pick(try them)

Auto
Normal
6(or 7)
Enable(try Disable as well)
Enable(try also disable here coz I think that your rams need this one to be Disabled).......

Work only till two rods RAM at 1:1 CPU: RAM mode 16x255 3-8-4-4 2.8v. And all four work a maximum 16x230 3-8-4-4 2.8v, or 14x230 2,5-5-2-2 turbo 2.8v. All this works stably (checked in S&M). All four rods RAM at 1:1 CPU: RAM mode 14X250 ONLY WILL START, but WinXp is not loaded. Even 14x240 - mistake. 14x286 5:4 WinXp is reloaded.
Not pleasant thin sound in the party RAM on a mobo is sometimes audible, no understand, whence he proceeds. It is occurs оnly at a voltage DDR Vcc 2,7-2,8v when all four rods RAM without loading (in S&M vanishes temporarily)
I shall do mods, I hope, that all will be improved.
I to you have some questions, answer please, if could you :
1) After I shall do VAGP mod, on mine Matrox thevoltage 1.95Volts will move? I doubt, that he will sustain it. As it is necessary to adjust trimmer, how to switch on MOBO? After inclusion I should adjust trimmer receive 1,91 Volts measured on the leg of the RF choke?
2) Vtt mod to me nor is obligatory?
3) I want to stabilize Vcore and I shall be soldered 6X 2200mf/6.3v and choke like the one in the picture.It is possible solder instead of 6x2200uf/6.3v others - 6x3300uf/16v? I have MOBO ASUS P2B and in her there are three similar choke. Two till 10 circular revolutions, thickness of a wire 1,25mm, and one 13 circular revolutions, thickness of a wire 1,05mm. I can any use?
Thanks to you huge for the help! I shall look forward to hearing.
Answer somebody please. It would be desirable already to begin to do...

1. You'll encode no problems if the mod done proper....;)
2. No need for that.....
3. Yes you can use them too.....;)
I tried Cas 2 and 2.5. RAM at 1:1 CPU 14x250 and 16x250 - WinXp is not loadedQuote:

Yes get them......Quote:

Thanks.
Yes you can do your job with the Sanyo ones.....Quote:

And I think the VDD mod can help MAZAK. I had a P4 3.0GHz Prescott and the VDD was only 1.38V stock. Doing the VDD and setting the voltage to 1.49V helped me get a stable rig at 250 MHz, 4:3 or 1:1. Setting VCORE and VDD to 1.66V gave me a stable 4:3 275MHz.
I have DEFAULT the 1.95VAGP with my X800XT-PE VGA......AND about 76 - 83MHz AGP frequency (forget the SATA though)......:DQuote:

So 1.95 VAGP should be ok for the X850XT-PE. Thats nice. Will try it when I get hold of another IC7 or IC7G. I run a Asus P4P800-E delux now. And cant get any real performance from the board.:toast:
Does the high AGP-frequency give any performence gains? Tried to mess with it when my IC7-G still was alive. But couldnt get the rig stable.
You never tried to run 4 BH-5 sticks in your rig?
1 gig of ram dont seem to be enogh these days.
How high can you set your 3.3V line whitout damaging anything?
And what about the 5V and 12V line, can these be adjusted for better stability of the board or dont they matter at al? :confused:
Higher AGP/PCI frequency gives better results on everything you do....;)Quote:

The 3.3V line is pussing the most things into a mobo......So geting it at 3.5Volts won't harm anything and it'll be better.......12V and 5V are OK......I use to have 12.8V, 5.4V and 3.6Volts all day long.....;)Quote:

What is the trick to increase the PCI/VAGP frequency and remain stable? Any hints?
The link to thelab.gr is down?
The link is half a decade old :rolleyes: Epic thread revival though :up:
I swear I saw a page with the directions on it recently and was just going to get to doing it to an old board but now can't find it, I don't remember if this was the same link =/
