Seems like my chip is held back by the HTT limit of the 0440A2 Taiwan chipset :( Any freaking working VDD or what?

VDD might help might not. Only way to find is to try. I suggest you get few micro grabber with resistor and use it :)

I have SMD grabbers in the mail. So is it the one posted here? Does the NB chip get mighty hot?
The moronic layout of this board doesn't really allow to improve the NB cooling @ all.
Hey no mercy I'm very interested in doing the vdimm mod that you have picture of. I just need couple more details and a pic of what capacitor that you have connected it to.
Plus what type of wire I need?
Seems like my chip was limiting my HTT, so I won't be doing any mods on the board just yet.
:stick: lol nice Nforce2 you got there
this makes me think there are about 3 or 4 empty spots on my DFI infinity that i could put some caps on..
im out of town for a week but im definetly trying this soon.
There are a lot of boards with "empty" places for add some caps that helps sometimes a lot :) ...i remember the canterwood and springdale from asus...Quote:

Can u give tell us differences before and after the mod...the 3,3v = vmem is obvious but the vcore...more mhz or only more stability?
Other question, when u tell that u are going to change the rest of the caps how do u know about the correct value to improve the stability?
Add more cap's of the same value on empty places is one thing but changing the present one's by others with higher values... just don't wanna see caps jumping of your board :)
I stuffed mine with 7 3300uf caps...runs without problems so far, but i can't say yet if it's more stable now...will test it when my new cpu arrives.
Anyone knows where to messure the Vcore? :)
whats a good way to unsolder this stuff from my old mobo?
You know the four caps that are lookated to the left of the 7:n 1800ufs caps. Is it nessesary to change them to maby dubble capacity?Quote:

from waht i hear soldering caps in parrarel is a much safer/better way of doing that.
U mean have the old ones and solder new ones also?Quote:

Cheers!
Did I miss it, but is there a picture for the vcore mod? Thanks.

is it a good idea to add a cap in a Vio Mod?i was thinking of a 3300uf cap 6.3V or 12V one

Some of the Fets on the nearby area shoul give the same voltage, but you must test one on one to find out cause I don't remember wich one at this time.
Someone please to answer...Quote:

Err...yet it seems to run 2500Mhz on 1.47v, it crashed once, but it may have been due to to memory timings...and it runnign really really cool, so im beliveing it is running lower volatge..
THANKS!Quote:
