hey sys i expect that u will do a few experiments to find a solution to this problem! ;)
I dont have the board to play with,
Good luck with your testing Brainfreeze, ill be interested in how it goes.
Hehe i sure am too ! ;)Quote:

but thx for the info and the support!
Brainfreeze, did you try it by now?
not yet im having some problems with my tec psu which i expect to fix by tomorrow!
Mod needed, help...
I know nowt :D ;)
\/ PM me if you want to know more I have put 2.35 into my Barton.
Why can't write some helping-quide to this topic? Pics are also welcome.
Its given me a edge on the competition ;) so I've limited who or
who does not have access to it.
I'm the only who knows how ;)
I'm sure Sys will vouch for my knowledge of the Asus Board ;)
My Claim to fame is here......

:stick:
I dont mind people keeping there tweaks to themselves but to brag about having a mod and not telling anybody seems a little calous to me.. especially when these guys may kill there systems testing the mods I have worked out (without my own board to test on)Quote:

If my mod is wrong can you please PM me and explain why? I dont want anybody to cause any damage for no reason.
Persoanlly im here to help and share knoledge, not just for bragging rights.
That's my main reason for not wanting to put up the mod.
It is also not to say what you are doing is incorrect!! my method
is rather different than just directly doing something to the
controlling IC.
erm hello i'm not keeping to myself (See above) I have indicatedQuote:

I know how to get above the std Vcore and I have said if you
want details to PM me that is not keeping it to myself is it?
I have been carring the indication in my sig since doing way back
when ;) ..... and I have given the details to someone else but
on the basis it not put up on the forums.
If your modding the chip you know the score its at your risk, the
fact its put up here is more damaging since you do not know
as such if it works.... people are going to see this and based
on the given info try and do it are they not?
I would never put up such a thread without knowing what I was
doing was correct.
This mod I'm not going to put up end of story - but It works.
Its a Solder Job & a SMD resistor has to be removed off the
motherboard for it to work and its one near the CPU socket.
it involves 3 wire mounting points and could be an issue for
people using phasechange system due to wire mounting points.
PM sended to PMM (my first).
Nice work.
I can understand you have your reasons for nog sharing this mod, but since I started this thread I'd really like to know the details.
PM sended :) and hoping for a swift answer, since I'm really curious how you did it.
ok, here it is:
I've tried this the way PMM sent to me and he agreed I can post the way to do it here.
I've tried out the mod with an el cheapo aircooler, and because of that I wasn't able to squeeze more then 2.2V out of it, since temperatures were in the neighbourhood of the 100 degrees. (I know, bad temps due to not enough thermalpaste) But with some decent cooling it shouldn't be a problem.
first the pics:
http://members.home.nl/youpy/vcore_fix.jpg
the arrow should be pointing to the other resistor that has to get of the board
http://members.home.nl/youpy/vcore_mod.jpg
needed to perform this mod:
- 5k VR
- 21 ohms 1/4W resistor
The 5k VR can should be at the default setting, so you'll read 2,5K on each pin. How you'll have to turn it depends on how the wires are put to the VR. It isn't a very clean method, but the core voltage doen't raise much, so probally a VR with less ohms will do as well.
quote from PMM:
First put the 21 ohm resistor on one of the legs of the VR and solder that on to the spot in the pic that is marked as (1). Do not solder it directly to pin 6 but use the cap that is there.Quote:
The Mod as such does the job of overiding the Overcurrent but
also acts as a volt mod in its own right.
So if you have any current Vcore Mod its not strictly needed
when this one is done.
The 5K varible - its a bit bizzare no real value as such
the effect loops around but if you make your resistance
minimum on the side of the variable that connects to the
stand alone resistor you can't go wrong just work it up
until desired results my pot is at 50Ohms +21ohm for the
but as said the varible can be anything s the effect loops
throughout the resistance range.
There maybe a possibility you may here a buzzing sound
when gone to far (too high in voltage) this seems normal
not sure what causes it but nothings ever blown
2.3v is the normal max before tripping but I've had it upto
2.35v according to motherboard monitor while adjusting with
windows running.
The next step is removing the resistor from the board that normally is in spot marked with (3).
after that you'll have to solder a wire from point (3) to the center leg of the VR, and a wire from point (2) to the other outer leg.
That's it. Which way you'll increase the core voltage depends on where the outer legs connect to.
I think this mod could give some problems for prometeia users, since the place to solder normally is covered with sealstring and the black thingy.
Good luck with this mod and don't kill your board with it. I won't be responsible for any damage you can do to it.
I have done the mod as you have described YoupY and have removed my old Vcoremod. But now I get the max voltage of the bios. Doen't matter If I give it 0 ohm... Can someone help me, maybe I have overlooked something.
I've helped Nostra out and he is doing 2.2V atm.
please notice all legs of the VR are used in this mod.
:( my vcore mod is still only up to 2.08V.Quote:

I tryed that different mod with no effect at all? Vcore doesn't rise.
This is how the mod has to be....

Ok. Just like I did it, but only with 5k VR.
Maybe I'll have to try it again...
OMG my mobo is in those pics :p.
I just checked your membench @ 260Mhz...but you run it at 2.0 2-2-5 timings. Why not on 2.0 2-2-11? I got 3945mb/s at only 254mhz fsb... I think you will gain some mb/s if you change your timings!Quote:

it doen't matter much if you use a 5k or 2k vr. I'm thinking 5K may be a bit to high, since I could turn the screw quite a bit before I noticed an increase in the Vcore, but a 5k will work.Quote:

I don't know exactly anymore if you have to minimize the resistance going to point 1 or point 2 to get a higher Vcore, since it's quite a while ago I tried this mod out. board is in a closet now, since I'm running A64. Can you help us out here Nostra??
If you know which point has to be set to high resistance for getting the original voltage you can also use a 2K. I only used the 5K in the guide since PMM described it that way and I wasn't sure which way you'd have to turn increasing the Vcore and I don't want anybody to kill there board by a faulty descirbtion.
if you can't get the mod to work please PM me and I'm happy to help you out.
When you decrease the resistance to 2...the voltage will UP. If the mod doesn't work. Then you have done something wrong. The first time I did the mod, I also did it wrong. Now it works for me. 2.3V without a problem :D
Decrease between 1&3 or 2&3?Quote:

You'll have to decrease the resistance going to point 2 in the picture to get a higher Vcore.
