Any word on this?Quote:

Anyone else experience similar or know of a solution to my problem?
Thanks for any help and great work wittekakker persivore and all involved :toast:.
A fixed resistor won't cut it . Get a 50K vr and set it to its maximum value of 50K then lower the value to find the right balance. It will take a little time to adjust . I set my voltage to 1.6 in the bios and lowered the resistance until I hit a 1.6v reading from the motherboard chip. I'm sure others have their opinion on where to set the voltage at but this worked well for me as I am now sitting at 1.59 in windows and 1.61 under loadQuote:

Read Vdimm with a multimeter. The BIOS only has an option to SET Vdimm, not to READ Vdimm.
hallo again, one more about this vdimm mod: on what value I need to set 20k pot before starting up mbo?
20k for start, lower to ingrease voltage. I hope for you 20k is not to much voltage yet for your memory.
gonna try out the vdimm mod tomorrow, 2.1 is too low and i just measured the actual reading with a dmm and it reads 2.02 :(
so things to get are a couple of wires, a 20k VR and some time and steady hands heh
thanks all for the heads up
I`ll buy crucial ballistix this week, and I need at least 2.2V for it, probably and more at 1000+MhzQuote:

EDIT: Does this look ok?
Dswarp:
I think the voltage will be quite high with a 5k vr. Set the bios voltage to 1,8 volts and the VR to 5k and the vdimm should be at about 2,3-2,5v i'd guess.
If you have more 5k vr's lying arround you could always have two in a serial connection = 10k
I actually eneded up finding a 10K resistor and used that.Quote:

So, I've managed to do the Vdimm mod, it all worked just fine... But I sniffed around in this thread after the VMCH mod, and I saw something, but I never got it quite straight, does anyone have a clear pic that tells me which points to connect?
It'd be very much appreciated, I'm more or less stuck at 450FSB stable with this piece of junk...
well i have just bought all the bits to do the mods and thought i would check the voltages at all the different places before i mod my board to find out whats what.
on no36 i get 1.26 not 1.28 so im defo a bit low on the mch.
then i ran across a problem when i try to measure the voltage between the two 1.35v i get 0v?? am i supposed to test those two points together for vfsb or do i need to check one of them with my black multimeter wire on a ground.
Sorry to bother you chaps but the result of 0v is puzzling me??!!!.
i look forward to a reply so i can find out my readings properly but if im supposed to measure the voltage between those 2 points and im measuring it right then why is my vfsb 0??
thanks
mike
On the points we meassured 1.35V we put one cable of our Vmeter on that point and the other cable to ground. I've you put your second cable not on ground but on the other point where you meassure 1.35V, then it's obvious you see 0V on your Vmeter.
ah good i thought when i got 0 v i had done it wrong so ill remeasure it with black probe on a ground, thanks for clearing up my confusion.
thanks
mike
1.32 where it says 1.35 so i shall defo be modding this board with all the mods shortly as i have serious vdroop , my bios is at 1.4125 and its getting 1.33 in windows and drops to 1.32 under 50% load and 1.30 at 100% load.
im gonna go to maplins and get all the bits for the mods and get this board sorted.
what sort of volt should i set vmch too ? say 1.4v ??
thanks
mike
Depending on how extreme you wanna go.
Could you specify that a bit more, please? I can't find any pin 6 on the pic in post 35 and I don't understand where the pin 9 is either.Quote:

Vfsb is fine, but Vmch should be on the pin thats marked green. Its fine to use the same ground for both mods :)Quote:

It should be between the MOSFET leg marked as 1.29v and the un-shaded (non-white) point (ground)Quote:
