are there any other suitable locations, where i could ground? wanted to solder it half way up the chord, like hell fire suggested!
also more pictures would be highly appreciated! ;)

You could ground it to anything, the case if you wanted to (but I wouldn't suggest it). I grounded the 5V and 12V all to the same place. Just use any black wire. I would take more pics of mine but I already taped it up.
Good luck and welcome to xtremesystems
thanks for the nice welcome. :D
thought about putting the mod under the nylon. just in case i have to rma the psu! :|
but maybe i try it the way you done it! why should i fry my psu? *g* vdimm worked also out just fine!
If you do the mod test it before you hook the PSU back to your computer. If the power supply has problems coming on after the mod that usually means the voltage is out of safe range.
You might want to try doing the mod inside the power supply. It was a little to crowded for me to get to the wire but im sure if i spent more time on it i could.
did the mod yesterday. everything worked out like it wanted it to! :D
3.3 rail raised from 3.26 before the mod, to 3.47 after!
will to the 12v and 5v today!
At a boy Ichwill, have fun a moddin' Crank it up fookers!
Man, school is kicking my nutz bro. Got Advanced Java II, 2 hardware engineering classes, advanced Physics II, Statistics..thats not counting the 3 labs that are part of those courses....arghhhhhhhhh. Fire needs an adult beverage and maybe some, uhhhh, mmmmmmm toasty. :hehe:
Stupid ASUS and Kingston still havent gotten off there asses and fixed my HyperX stability issue. The damned new bio release allows up to a whoppin 600fsb, but my HyperX crumbles at 215. And for 24/7 usage I have to stay around 200. ACK!!!
I heard they released some new chips, but a poor college guy cant go buying another gig of HyperX after he already spent $300+ bones on the first set. If ya ask me, they should take these damn sticks back and send me more.
Hows things with you oh wise and powerful modder?
Dont all kingston sticks come with a lifetime warranty?
Yes, as long as you don't remove the heatspreaders (not sure if that is "fixable" ;), since I've never done it to my sticks).Quote:

Yeh, they have life-time warranty, doesnt mean they will take em back jsut because of a compat issue with a certain board. Wouldnt hurt to ask I suppose.
Actually... Kingston will and does do that on a regular basis. These high-end RAM companies are EXTREMELY good about RMA's. :toast:Quote:

Da Fire will take a shot at it....why not try atleast. I have modded this board to hell and back and still cant do 215+ stable. Will do 215fsb for benching, but eventually craps out. Nothing worse than being in the middle of fraggin some nazis and puter goes bye bye.
lol, no kidding 8-)
Darn server I play DoD on is full.. argh.
What ya think of CoD man? Lil thread hi-jackage neva hurt a soul. :hehe:
I'm downloading the "preview" now :D
Many of my friends play it and think its pretty awesome. Grpahically it is suppose to e superior to all FPS out there at the moment. Better than Medal of Honor, Raven Shield, and Battlefield.
UT2K3/Halo/U2 have it beat in graphics if you ask me, but all i've played it on is a GF4 Ti4200.. Its just the quake 3 engine.
Personally I like DoD better, CoD seems like a bit much of a rip-off and the aiming system is horrible 8-(
Thats all I am using as well - Ti4200-.
I like many things about DoD over most games...especially its gaming translation. It just seems to play so damn smooth.
do this in the console:
gl_texturemode "gl_linear_mipmap_linear"
Trilinear texture filtering.. you might ahve to do it each time you start dod, though.. it doesn't want to stick for me..
Ti4200 was at an internet cafe place.. i've got my 9700np.. 8-)
Looks like this will be my weekend project.
Can I just ground it to my psu casing (slap some electrical tape on it or something? Or should I solder it on there :( :() I wish I somewhat understood what I'm doin here haha.
Also, to measure the voltage from a molex connector, does it matter which holes you stick it in? (no perversion please ;) serious question!!)
Yes, you can ground it on your PSU casing. Like you said, though, it has to be completely secure. Ideally, you don't want any weight pulling the ground wire down, because if it falls, not only will your rails drop (and likely result in a system crash/BSOD, and possibly even hardware damage), but it could contact something on your mobo and fry it!Quote:

IIRC, solder won't work... My solder wouldn't bond with the PSU casing, for some reason (I didn't really spend too much time on it, though, so don't take my word for it :)). Personally, I use SMD grabbers and attach them to the grill on my PSU. :).:toast:
On a molex, the grounds are irrelevant, (IIRC), but the red line is 5v and the yellow is 12v.
Wonderful! No soldering makes the job look that much easier. Guess I get to make a trip down to the Radio Shack.
I'd just do everything internally and stick the pots on the back poking off the side so you can turn them witha screw driver.. solder the grounds right onto the mass of black wires and you're set.. 8-)
If I had pictures of one modded internally, I'd prob do that ;) But as it is, I'm pretty clueless as to how to go about doin it (those pics from the Japanese website aren't helpin, all I see is some holes and xxohms stuff :D

Hello
One q. so if I got that correctly there's no way I can fix +3.3 line on my Antec TC550W ?
Mine's at +3.2V when I have pots on max voltage, pretty bad and it's holding me back a little.
