makes it hard to trace anything.
how far are we with the mod ?? anything better ?
Its coming along, but I am working mainly on other components I have here at the moment so I can get them out by Monday.
I have identified the chip that is under the CoreCell sink as a rebadged WinBond IC, so mods arent far away.
Rock on dude, I bet you have four soldering Irons going at once.
Steady.... Lmao...
I hope the best...
:D :toast:
Hell fire, Any luck?
Did someone say there is already a v-core mod? let me know someone,
thanks,
TARZAN
whats up now ?? i got my new adatas but there is still no oc 1:1 :( . If there are any mods please tell me maybe someone can help me with my probs http://forum.msi.com.tw/thread.php?threadid=55561&sid= i am so angry right now :(
i want to do the 3.3v mod for memory, does this board have ovp?
will the project have succes ?? i only want more vcore and vdimm :D (2 volt vcore and 3 volt vdimm would be enough ;))
It is a strange board & will be hard to figure, without the chipset & LDT mods I dont think the VDIMM & Vcore will be worth having.
But thats me if it want do High HTT with 1:1 it is of no use to me & in IMO just plain junk, which is where this board stands right now.
But maybe with some off Hells touch he can turn it in to something.
Hell-Fire, is that the same Winbond IC what was used on IC7 mobos? Maybe finding that 680ohm resistor and solder 10ohm vr between ground and other side of 680 resistor.
Or remove the resistor, and solder ~1kohm fixed in there...
Maybe, just my 20 cents ;)
I did the 3.3v mod, its good, ive got 3.36v on pin 7 on the dim slot, i was able to run memory up to 250mhz 11,2,2,2.5, my board always freezes as soon as it hits 251 so i dont know how well it could do, didnt seem to like cas 2.0 though for some reason, but there it is, a succesful mod, 3,900 odd points in sandra :moon:

no can do, sold my camera to buy x800 xt (still waiting) i connected 3.3v to 2 of dimm slots, guess you only need one though, dont think itll make any difference, i connected to the pin shown on the very outside of the short bit shown in the thread here for the 3.3v memroy mod (on the next page i think)
and is it possible to get only 3 volt ? 3.3 is kinda much ;)
i dont know, i was just following what i read here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...threadid=29178
im a monkey see monkey do kind of guy, maybe Rio71 could help you out there.
~thanks btw Rio71 :toast:
I hope this helps speed things up a bit.

We are aware what IC this is, so no, this will not speed things up a bit for us. ;)
I would have long since been done with this mod had I not been working on other components.
I already found the trace on the back of the board where pin #19 bunches thru. I have located everything resistor, capacitor, and FET in the Vdimm circuit loop.
I will work on the board first thing in the morning and hopefully find a way to do this mod without having to cut the trace, but seeing as there is zero resistance in the loop, a trace cut is pretty much a given.
2bad but at least i suppose we will have no choice you are the professional ;)
Well, the main problem is this damn black pcb. I would love to find a top side trace connecting 2 caps or something, but no luck yet.
There is a single resistor that is in the loop, but to tired to mess with anything else tonight....when your eyes start bugging out from looking at tiny things for 2-3 hours...and 6 mods later on other components, its time to take a break before a mistake is made.
Hell-fire: does it work? My decision on buying a K8N Neo depends on the results of this volt mod :)
HKPolice , you know one way or another its going to work. Even if he has got to let the smoke out a time or two.
By the way how does that AN50r run. Do you think it would do 275 bus if it had the mem.
Ya, but I think filter tried the OCZ booster, and it worked, but he couldn't OC the ram a single Mhz higher even with 3.7v on BH5s.... That doesn't make sense.Quote:

I think my board is dead, it freezes after posting. It wouldn't boot at CL3, then i cleared the CMOS, then it started hanging.
I've seen ppl do 300+ FSB, but I couldn't get that high. Didn't try very hard tho, since I liked using 240FSB 1:1.
I can run 275 1:1 with mine, I have run 300+ but with the clock down. The 275 is with 2450 - 2550mhz. I dont see how this is so when the PCI is not supost to lock. But it will do it & it loves it.
That was with my OCZ, now I am running 10x250 with Mushkin 222 maxed out because it is faster than the OCZ was at 275(OCZ is not EB). Thats why I ask.
Mine is not really a AN50r, it is a SFF SN85G4, the board is a minnie AN50r & when I check the PCI bus it is locked(not whith clockgem) PC Wizard 2004. I really dont understand this rig, it is faster & clocks better & is more stable than anything I have built a64 wise.
If the AN50r is this good I want to try one.
Oh back to the MSI, it makes sense to me I have messed with this board alot( it is my board Hell has). It does some stupid stuff.
One you dont have chipset voltage ajustment.
Two you cant ajust the LDT voltage.
Three there is some timings that must be crazy.
When you try & clock the board it acts like the voltage is AUTO AJUST but it dont give enough. This is from the fact that it will only work with the 3xLDT multiplier. 2x dont have enough voltage 3x seems to up it alittle & 4x is still trying to run on what 3x gets, so 3x is the only one that has enough volts to work.
(I may be wrong on this).
Then you have the VTT, I dont know how it works & if it want track the OCZ booster may not help.
I tried many sticks of ram in this board & I couldnt get it to do much.
I finaly got it to 260 FSB but not stable. 250 I could get stable but this was not with BH series ram so it was no good.
Give Hell time to work this thing, its not going to be cut & dry. The Vdimm mod itself is trying to be a pain & the rest may be harder. Without all the mods I dont think the board will be worth having. But we will see.
To voltmod something that is not even ajustable could be real tricky(chipset/LDT). These are the bigger hold back than the Vdimm.
Personally I would like to stick this board right up a MSI REPs you know what. Cost me alot for somethink this bad.
