Has anyone had luck pencil modding this on a rev 1 board?
Like my post above. The mod seems to have hit and miss.Quote:

mod worked for me on rev1 c1 ds3. used copper ink from rear window defrost repair kit
So the location is correct, apparently a pencil won't do it?Quote:

Unfortunately I don't have that ds3 anymore, but yeah, I don't think you can reduce resistance to 0 with a pencil. I didn't have any noticable issues after the mod, and indeed vdroop was gone
I didnt get anything from using the same #2 pencil I (successfully) pencil modded my P5B-Deluxe with. No affect on droop at all.... :(Quote:

Are we sure about the mod I posted above and the locations? This one is completely different. So I highlighted in 2 other colors possible locations. I tried the first (yellow one) with no change in droop at all, which tells me that isnt the right location. Or is it possible you are supposed to pencil across the (green)?

anyone?
I got the silver pen. www.bondloc.com :) Just that my Rev 1 DS3 rig is over in another house crunching away. Well its the one that has the biggest droop. I'll try it tomorrow. I MAY try it out on my main rig DS3 tonight here. But that'll be a lot of hassle. Would prefer to try it on my caseless cruncher.
Lemme know where you are gonna connect with that pen, and if it works...Quote:

Finished. No change. Covered the green resister in silver conductive paint. Still droops.
The original mod was the yellow one ;)
Check the pics back on the top of this page.
I did check them. I'll have a go at the yellow one tomorrow perhaps. ;)Quote:

I can confirm that the vMCH and vDIMM mods work, 10K VR works fine. Can bring it up higher than 3V with only a 10K VR but have only tried up to 2.82V. Did 501mhz Cas 3 with 2.82 and 1.68V on the MCH. Don't put more than 1.74V on the northbridge or it won't post, it has OVP at 1.75V.
Where do you guys measure the Vcore from on the board? You have any pictures showing where?
any of the copper coil backs around the cpu area will show you vcore and droop.
the pwm units will also. 1 leg will show way high voltage which is simply the input voltage of the PWM the other leg will show real vcore.
dont be surprised at all if you see a much different voltage than what the bios shows.
So like this.....Quote:

That correct?
Can anyone else confirm this?
Also Lestat, where is the VRM for Vcore??
ON the Rev3.3, the Vdropp is hardly anything anyway.
Lestat, could you confirm what I've done in the picture?
BTW, mines the first revision.... and carey8 how did you find this out?
Here is a working Vdroop and consequently Vdrop mod for the GA965P DS3/S3 V3.3 motherboard.
Before this mod for me on my DS3:
1.5V in bios
1.47 Idle Everest
1.42 Load Everest
After mod
1.5V Bios
1.49 Idle Everest
1.49 Load Everest

Thanks for the layout picture RejZoR.

Good work, thank you.Quote:

same question. I am still using the board with my Q6600 G0 at 3.6Ghz. That CPU would do far more and stable if the Vdroop weren't a drawback.Quote:
