Mr. Hipro?????? Need your brain.
Above 3.6v the voltage starts to spike under load and vtt is not following at this point. I think it's vref that needs to be modded for that? Got any inside info? Want to share?
Nice hexus dude!!! Killin some of the all powerful A64's!!
Also have you been able to successfully run 4 banks with streetracer yet? The bandwidth is seriously nuts at that point.
Thanks
Is it possible to not unsolder the R50 resistor for the vdimm mod and just solder a 200 ohm potentiometer to its ends to change vdimm?
is it ok to use a 2200 uf / 6.3v Electrolyte capacitor for vnorthbridge stabilisation?
No......Only with the new Clockgen and.........Peltier-water on Northy which are almost ready to give them a try.......My mobo has already been prepaired for them a lond time ago(if you see photos of my mods)........Quote:

No.It's the first mod(simplest) for up to 3.2Vmem max(not well stabillized though)....Quote:

anyone tried this mod b4?

Hipro you're my freakin hero man! AMAZING mods!
IF I'm not too late, try to solder one end of the resistor(not SMD) one the right leg of the Mos-Fet and it's other end onto capasitor(brown one) below R50.......... ;)Quote:

Only the top layer is damaged. Can I salvage this board? Is there a way to make some direct connections, thereby bypassing the traces, or can I pick up the traces at another location?
If you meen 3.6Vmem(Vdimm) , you have to mod your PSU so as to give 3.8Volts on 3.3V line so as to stabilize your 3.6Vmem....... ;)Quote:

No I haven't tried all four banks cos my Rams are full of heatsinks and there is no room for four of them left.....
No it's not cos the R50 is 0 Ohms......You have to solder a 10 Ohms one........As for the capasitor,it's OK....... ;)Quote:

k, another question for you...
Malves from this forum also made a mod guide for the ic7. and he does not use a 10 ohms one to replace the r50 0 ohms one, he solders a 200 ohm vr right to the two pads if I am not wrong. Is this correct, or is it correct to do it your way :P?
If you only use the vr without the 10 Ohm resistor, your voltage is fluctuating above 3v. With Hipro's mod you get a strong voltage at all, this is my own experience
thanks for your reply, clears things up for me.Quote:

VERY NICE WORK:banana:
If you ground the trimmer, like I did, you'll have stable vdimm. I had my vdimm up to 3.5v and it was stable.Quote:

Never tried this, maybe it works fine too :)
1. to stabilize voltageQuote:
does anyone know why he uses 10 ohms?
2. works as a bridge when the mods are off - via jumper (i.e. vagp mod you cut the trace between IC and FET. If you solder only the trimmer, when the jumpper is in the OFF position, there will be no connection between IC and FET).;)
Would doing vdd (vchip) mod help for better fsb ??
It seems that my max3 doesn't want to go higher than 270 fsb
when i set 271 in clockgen and run prime i get instant error and 270 fsb i can run prime all the time.
i don't think its the cpu that is limiting me because it's a 3.0c SL6WU (i can run 3.6ghz @ 1.55v with stock cooling) and known for very good overclocks.
I can run 270 @ 1.675v and if i change to 271 and up to voltage to even 1.85v it doesn't work.
i'm using mach2 and have already done the vtt mod.
mem (mushkin pc3500) is running @ 3.0v 5:4.
I tried 3.2v and doesnt help either so i don't think it's the memory cause i can do memtest+ on 270 1.675v and mem at 3.0v without an error.
also agp/pci is set to 75/38.
hipro, hows the 5v line from psu directly to the mem mosfets mod going?
hi to all. i've modded my ic7-g with vmem, the capacitor, vchip, and now i'm here with vtt (1/2 ram). i've read all Hipro guide, and i've chosen to follow the second way, far simpler than the first. has anyone done it? i don't understand how many things to solder... thanks
What do Hipro mean by "high internal resistance" capacitor is required????? How do i look for theM?
I have a question here. I just completed the cap on the nbridge, the 15kohm resistor for northy, vdd and vtt for my 1c7
now when I boot up is the vtt supposed to remain stock? I tried to raise the resistance of just the vtt but the voltage did not change from 1.29~1.3 (used mlti and hardware mon) have i not properly cut the trace or somethign? feed back would be greatly appreciated. -John
EDIT: also a note. when Iwas doing the mod, the brown mini cap on mc50 broke off. I currently have the wire for the vr on the pad closest to the winbound chip. would this have anything to do with the vtt not changing?
EDIT yet again.. so it works.. the thing may have been working all this time. it semes that the vtt does not change till around 100+ on the vr. not a gradual change but a sudden one. the hardware moniter sais nothing. I also poked at the trace on the back of the board via kyoce's method described on this post > http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&pagenumber=14
one final note... those damn vr's get mighty damn hot... I'm thinking I should sink them...
i have now done all the mods and set the VR to max but what is the best volt for all these mod`?
Vagp
Vchip (Vdd)
VTT
???
Low ESRQuote:

Hello to all, i write you because your help. I've seen the ic7-max 3 mod guide by malves, and i have decided to mod the mobo. I've done all mods except vdd mod. i've used 500ohm trimmer set at 0 ohm. After the mod, i have powered on the mobo, but i have seen only back screen Now, i can't power on the mobo either from the case , but the first time that i have test the mobo, i could power on from the case...Why???? I've tested the voltage:
VDD: 1,3
VTT: 0,6
VDIMM: 0,8
I have rechecked all trimmers and they are ok!
Please, help me
please, help me..
i need your help
