VERY nice work.......:toast: :)
Thanx m8, likewise! ;)

Are you having the best OC after modification?
Quick question without having read through the entire thread (sorry its really long).
Is it necessary to do the Vcore mod on a P4GD1 in order for the mods on the CT-479 to work?
[Ed: okay I just finished the whole thread]
2nd question: did Hipro5 ever confirm whether the 400mhz jumper setting is effectively the same as the VCCA mod @ 1.82V? Or is there some fundamental difference that makes the mod necessary?
Thanks,
-Erik
I know that these CT-479 mods are supposed to make the voltage more stable under load. I have a P4P800 that has the "vcore droop" problem. Do I still need to do the "vcore droop mod" on the motherboard if I do the CT-479 modifications?
Yes you still need to do it.....Quote:

I've got the CT-479 jumpers set to "400" if it matters.
I did the full CT-479 adapter mod using the kit from Under The Ice...

I also did the P4P800 droop mod discussed here...

I must admit, I'm a little unsure about the correct solder points for the droop mod. I've seen several pictures that show different spots so It's possible that I've done it wrong. I followed the instructions on the first link above and soldered to the blue and green circles.
However after an hour or so of really difficult soldering, sadly, it doesn't seem to make any difference in my overclocking results. The CPU seems to run a bit hotter (~65C) while running prime95 torture test but the voltages don't seem to fluctuate as much so I guess that's good.
In my BIOS, I set the voltage to the max 1.6V. Speedfan reports my vcore between 1.58 and 1.60 under full prime95 load. Strangely, CPU-Z now reports my voltage as 1.308v and it never changes. I don't understand that at all.
Regardless of voltage stability, I can't seem to get much past 2.7GHz. At 2.8GHz, it usually bluescreens while booting windows.
Out of all the soldering bits on the CT-479 mod, I had a *lot* of trouble getting the holes open for the electrolytic capacitor. My solder sucker just didn't want to work on one of the holes. I ended up heating a needle and working it into the hole to open it up.
I also had a hell of a time piggybacking the 3.2K resistor for the VCCA mod because it was incredibly tiny. I'm not positive that I actually got that one soldered correctly on both ends as the piggybacking resistor was actually slightly larger than the one on the bottom.
Any ideas where I should go next? I'd really like to get this thing to a stable 2.8GHz. I think I'd be happy to stop there.
I know this could be the worst answer, but considering you spent money on a good HSF, you spent who knows how much time on this mod, why you don't look for a better CPU? Dothans are dirt cheap now and ppl is still looking for them so you're not going to trash the old one.Quote:

and you do oc to CONRO E6300 E6400 E6600 E6700 X6800
and T2600 T2700 T5200 T5500 T5600 T7200 T7400 T7600 T7700

but is mobo dont do a oc and you go to make a full mode +extra mode+super mode
and make oc to 6000 MHZ YA IS TRUE WHA T I SYE
I have added two 51ohm resistors and this 20kohm pot trimmer to the kit.
Hi there, I'm gonna be ordering one of these kits soon... if anyone else in Europe would like to save on postage, tell me and maybe we can sort something out :)
I also have a few issues with my CT-479 (I think). I've taken VCCA up to 2.5v (measured at the 533 jumper) and gained nothing. I also have a strange issue where higher vcore limits my FSB overclock... 1.6v will give me memtest86+ errors in test #7 at 240MHz, but with 1.425v vcore I can memtest right the way up to 260MHz. I'm thinking this may be caused by electrical noise? Also at 260MHz my board refuses to POST if I use a memory divider... weird stuff. Lower vcore also solved the freezing problem in test #5 at 245MHz up to 260MHz.
Anyway, if anyone wants one of these kits in Europe, let me know!
Just got my kit in the mail today, thanks Run :)
Ill do the mods this weekend, and some testing.
Ill be back with results of before and after.
Anyone have tested T7300,T7500 or T7700 overclock at Aopen i975Xa?
Any new info regarding CT-479 Vmods?
Are the mods posted here the COMPLETE set of known CT-479 Vmods?
Ive heard mixed results regarding CT-479 Vmods. Most people I speak to say they did NOT gain any additional overclock headroom on their 479 CPUs. What is the consensus after years of testing?
TY!
