alright cool
Come on i wanna see some benches in dual channel mode at cas2-5-2-2 at 250+. Do the mod and kick some ass.
Who do you talkin' to :banana: :toast:Quote:

just as soon as i can get to radio shack and pick up some vr's ill be doing some benches at 250+ 2-5-2-2
ill be comparing 1gb mushkin pc3200 lv2 bh-5 to
512mb kingston hyperx pc3500 bh-5
Anyone and everyone :stick:Quote:

took off the cap... and i have crap for vtt 2.9-3.1 is 1.29 vtt and 2.8 and 3.2 are 1.36 (so yuou could say that 3.2 is crap as well) and 1.36 is good for 2.8 cause it undervolts to 2.72 my volts are rock stable now though
So you added a fixed resistor to the ground? Iam confused about series. Would 1/4 watt resistors be fine? Does the values stay the same? 100 ohms from mosfit to mc50 and 900 from mc50 to ground?Quote:

Yup :) Oh and i had some slight issues with my volt mods. Mainly VTT went wack on me. I ended up replaces the 1k ohm vario with the same. But i decided to add a 1/8 watt to my varios for VDD and VTT. Both were 50 ohms and i added them to the ground side of pin in series. Anyways it seems to be working again and i just managed to raise my corsairs pc3500 max to 260 cas2-2-2-5 Turbo cpc enabled hehe
I have recently puchased a Max3 too, it has a sticker on it saying v1.0, yet when I checked there is no MC64 on mine either...Quote:

I noticed that I got the verion 1.1 (ver1.0 but with the M64 de-soldered off the board.)
This is good as I really didn't fancy attacking my brand new comp - first upgrade for 3 years...
Oh don't let me cofuse you. I was rambling a bit. One of my pots fried so i added the fixed resistors to another pot. You don't have to do that. I just did it as a safety factor. And yes a 1/4 watt resistor would work fine.Quote:

Well, I got my ic7 max3 and I like it. I am able to use a higher vcore than I could with the asus. You know what that means so far 4.1 is stable, but the prommy cant do much more I fear.
Thanks for the reply catch22atplay.
Yup i had the same results. The Abit mobos all achieved a higher O/C compared to the ASUS mobos. Of course you could do the V droop fix on the ASUS mobo for Vcore and that should help it. But i really prefer the Abit mobos over any other brands. Hell my first ic7 did 305fsb my cpu limit with zero mods. No other mobos i tried from other manufacturers could get anywhere near that. Hats off to abit even with theese little issues.
Hey catch BTW I've founded my HynixD43 mem AGAIN a very good pick !Quote:

I do 245FSB F1-Stren-A-A-A 2-6-4-3
PS.
I broke my VDIMM mod... One of the solder joints of R50 is broken and has no contact... Now my VDIMM is 0,5V lower than 3.3V line
Thank god it is not 12V ! Must fix that tommorow...
so for the vdd mod i remove mc64 and solder a 2k vr where mc64 was, correct? also, what do i set the 2kvr at? 2k ohm? Thanx
nm i figured that out, but on doing the mod i accidentally removed the top pad of mc64, is there any other place i could use instead of there? or am i gonna just be stuck without the vdd mod?
Top pad was only a ground anyways. It's the bottom one that you actually need. Find another ground. Set the vr at 2k ohms to start
This upper one on the pic (arrow) that's ground, aye ?Quote:

Okay here's how i did my IC7-G Vdd mod, well my m8 did it for me & advised me of a simpler way of doing it as those 2 pads from the "R50" resistor are damn small!!
Desolder "R50" resistor
Solder a 10 Ohm fixed resistor to the bottom pad of the 2 "R50" pads left after you've desoldered the "R50" resistor.
Solder the top of the 10 Ohm fixed resistor to the bottom leg of the mosfet closest to the "R50" pad.
Solder a 10K Ohm VR to the fixed resistor. My m8 soldered it to the side closest to the "R50" pad.
Solder the ground wire of the 10K Ohm VR a spare fan pin header so that you can just use the ground off it.
I'm not 100% sure but I suppose my m8 could've soldered the fixed resitor's ground to the fan pin header instead of the mosfet leg...
I've uploaded a pic of my mod. Not a good sight but hopefully it will clarify some of what I've just said. I've had my XMS3500 running 3.3v (haven't tested any higher yet as I don't need it when running 5/4).
here's a pic I posted in the "how to volt mod IC7 Vmem" thread (page 13).
And here's what i posted up in that actual post:
"I am a nOOb when it comes to voltmodding & want to vDimm mod my IC&-G mobo.
I went to my loacal electronics engineer & gave him the blueprints of hipro5's method of how to mod the IC7-G with all relevent pics of the mod.
The thing is, my soldering guy has done the mod a little different from the methods described in this forum.
Instead of solering the 10 Ohm fixed resistor to both of the "R50" pads, he's actually solder only one of the fied resistors to the "R50"pad closest to the "Winbond Chip" & the other wire to left leg of the mosfet closest to the "R50" closest to the "Mosfet".
I've borrowed "johnrr6's" schem2 (hipro5 method 2) & edited it to show what my electronic tech guy has done.
I haven't fired my board up yet as I would like to ask one of the senior members if the way I described is possible. Too afraid that I might blow up my mobo if I turn my PC on & my method is wrong.
hipro5, I have been following your method (that's how I wanted it done in the first place) but my tech guy says that the "R50" pad closest to the "Mosfet" actually goes from the left leg of the "Mosfet" goes to the "R50" pad closest to it so it makes no difference whether I solder onto the "R50" pad closest to the ?Mosfet" or if I solder directly onto the left leg of the "Mosfet".
Could one of my peers please clarify this for me? I'm kinda shaky as my mod did not turn out like how hipro5 described."
It has worked beautifully!!!
thanx that helps me greatly, ill be doing that mod now.
i just did the vdd and vtt mods and am wondering where the voltage monitoring points are? couse my bios still shows what it always did. even when i adjust the vrs nothing changes in teh bios, though ive only adjusted them a little bit, didnt want to fry anything
vdd is monitored in bios but vtt reads wrong (old) value after modQuote:

alright thanx, is there anywhere i can read the vtt from?
how can you tell if the vtt mod is working? it doesnt seem to be for me because 3.2v makes my system extremely unstable.
You soldered some wires to upper mosfet after cutting trace ? It's that leg where you should measure VTT voltageQuote:
