It's not a chip w/ pins... it's a little "black thingy". And I doubt you could use a grabber. You need to solder.Quote:

I attempted using micro grabbers on the pins but the
spacing is so small the grabber once grasping the pin
were shorting on the pins either side :(
I borked a board trying this mod! The resistor is just too damn small... Anyone with some skillz want to do it for me?:(
You can try to coat the backside of the grabbers with a non-conductive coating like liquid tape. That way it will not short out.Quote:

I had to recheck the diagram like 8 times while doing this mod cus I was like, "I'm supposed to solder it WHERE?!" heheQuote:

hi there,
for those that don't have soldering skillz like me :(, I think the best way is just get a resistor and use one end to connect to the point on the mobo and use hot glue to hold it in place nice and easy:toast:
ok thanks for your help i will try this and see if it works.
Hmm, I'll try the glue. I have some 1Mohm and 1.5Mohm resistors, If I just use the 1.5Mohm resistor, what voltage should that give me? I was thinking like 1.8V?
HI THERE,
I use two 1meg rv, and it gave me 1.7 at high, when I lower one to half its now 1.85v, so use two meg and I guarranteed you will be fine, from there you lower to your taste,
and please use two 1Mohm or a 2 Mohm to be safe!
so, first I did the one on post 13, but it only let me get to 210, and when I measure the point it was high and then when I test again it was stock,
so what I did was to connect to the point on the bottom, now I can run over 230 and the new battery help too:banana:
and keep us informed:toast:
Hot glue gun? Great Idea. My soldering skills have much to be desired so I'll give this a tryQuote:

I could not get a 1mohm potentiometer so i got two that are 500k each. The potentiometer has three prongs coming out of it. i soldered a 1mohm resistor to the little pin and it goes to the first prong,i then soldered a wire coming from the second prong going to the first first prong of the second potentiometer then i soldered a wire coming from the second prong of the second potentiometer going to a ground (one of the screws that hold the mobo) .When i check the voltage all i get is 1.53 all the way up ,and all the way down. did i not link the two potentiometers together correctly? please help i want this mod to work.
ok, that sounds like is not making contac on the board, and to know if you link them correctly measure them before putting them on, also make sure put connect to the lower tip not the higher as illustrated on post 13 and try again and never lower all resistance;)Quote:

guys please don't forget to check your psu, if is not strong enough it will limited your overclock:eek:
How do i check with my multimeter to see if they are inline ? do i check with volts? i only use the voltage setting i have never used any other setting. But i resoldered the resistor to the lower tip (i had it in the middle before) and before i turn it on i checked with my meter at all solder points and it said 0.01 v is this correct?
i booted everything up and it says 2.1v on my meter but now it won't even post!!!!please don't tell me i fried my board!! i took the ground off and it still won't post i even cleared the cmos but nothing!!
oh boy, 2.1v is real high, RMA anyone, its possible, I think anything over 1.85 is asking for it and I keep it below zero, but just give it a break and try later, you might get lucky :(Quote:

Ya i still can't get it to post one time it's 2.1 another time it's 1.9 i took everything off and checked my voltage and it says 1.8! but with everything off it still won't post i need someone to explain in detail how to hook up two 500k potentiometers for me to see if i got them hooked up right and how do i check with my meter to see if it is hooked up right ,thanks for your help by the way:]
i tried to reconnect everything and resoldered my resistor everything looks good but it won't post no matter what i do! when i check the voltage it now says i got 2.41!!!!!! what the hell is going on here??? it has to be these poteniometers i don't think they are hooked up right i need someone to explain how to hook two inline together please please please i don't want this board to be fried i just got it a month ago!!!!!
What i am wondering is how can i get 2.4v when i am using a 1mohm and two 500k ohm resistors and potentiometer!!!??????
you got a short somewhere you have somehow grounded
100%.
When I started I could not get a proper contact with the micro-
grabbers and a short would give me 2.2v+ and no boot my main
reason for soldering to the top of the SMD resistor zero resistance
would give silly voltage as you seeing.
/edit
Sometimes the bios can lock even with cmos reset - Pull plug
on PSU - Flip out batt. put Jumper on Drain leave 10mins
While above is happening take the chance and time to make
sure you have disconnected the mod however you have done
it / if soldered make sure you have not shorted two pins
together or whatever.
Then replace batt / switch jumper back / plug PC in.
What do you mean by point on bottom :confused:Quote:

Ok i will try that thanks ,but i still need someone to explain how to kook up the tw potentiometers inline with each other .
ok i did what u said to try and it didn't work,And when i put the plug back in turned on the switch and pushed power...nothing! it won't even make a noise?,Man this thing is ticking me off?!!!!
Ok i played around with it a bit more and got it to turn on again but still it won't post i think this board has had it ,is there any other way i can check to see if the board is fried????
That's easy...Quote:

let's say you have a 3 pin pot which you should. You have 2 pots...
Each pot has 3 pins in this depiction. You have wire (pictured as "|" or "_"). You connect the wire to the pins (pictured as "X"). The "<" or ">" or "V" shows the path of the connection. So if you follow it, it should make sense. I have a picture of this I believe, just need to find it.
Code:
