Thats a good question. I would check it but I cant even get the computer to POST yet alone boot into windows. I do have a CPU Fan I could plug into the Mobo just to see if thats what causing the problem. Thanks for the help.Quote:

Any thoughts on this one Ace?
I think your on to something lulhed. I dont use WC on any area of the board. But this board seems very senstive to FLEX. I had to rma my board because i over did it when i did the bolt through mod for the heatpipes, iam postive that is why my board was being flakey. Ive since done the mod again, withless torque, and all is fine..flex is non existent.Quote:

need help
i keep getting CODE 90 cycling to 99 and continuous rebooting everything was working fine then i shutdown the computer and turned it back on and this started thx for any suggestions.
Normal shutdown? What were you doing before you shutdown? did you install any drivers, firmware, etc.?Quote:

i got the 90 code after i finished up some dry ice benching.
when i tried to boot it up again on water it worked for a bit then crashed and kept giving me that dang 90 code.
i let the board dry out a bit longer with a fan blowing on it and after a while i got the C1 error which i can easily fix.
board is now up and running.
2x1GB sticks I set voltage with my patriot 6400llk and then swap out memory and that doesn't work and neither does clearing cmos and unplugging all power then restarting after a bit - I know the sticks are good but what am I to do:shakes::mad:Quote:

Just what I needed Ailk4041, thank you :up:. The IDE wire did the trick. Quick question though since this is the first time dealing with VR's. I turned the thing as much as I could clock wise before I soldered the wires on, is this right?Quote:

here is what happened i was pressure washing my fence outside even tho is not directly in my window i believe some mist could ahve gotten in there it is a remote possibility but that is the only thing i could think of since the system has been rock steady since day one, i took the mobo off and put some fans on it to dry it and see what happened tomorrow
and yes i am watercooling tho i believe it was the mist from the pressure washer however remote it might seem thx for the feedback

Now you will not be able to read how much resistance is on it. No worries though. It's probably around 0 right now if you've turned it all the way clock wise. Turn it back counter clock wise 2/5th of the way (not 2/5th a turn). In other words, if you have a 15-turn vr turn it back clock wise 2/5th of however many turns your vr has. So 2/5 of 15 would 6. So you would turn it back 6 turns. That should get you where you need to be. Then you can fine tune it with a DMM between idle and load to get it where you want. :up:
If I'm not mistaken, clockwise lowers resistance, counter clockwise increases resistance.

And reflash the bios if u can post at all, with the parameter switchs that we posted earlier, dont know what else really to tell you. have u tried another psu?
would it make a difference if the HZ was an early model - not the recent ones - I bought them about a year ago at about 340 USDQuote:

where does the other end of the wires go?..sorry for my ignorance
They are going to the blue 1kOhm variable resistor.

Mine are as old as that, 4Gb at 900 1T cas4 no problem.Quote:

I didnt have a monitor plugged in at the time so i just hard powered off after it stayed at 7F, which im assuming is the bios. I didnt want to run the computer on such a doggy old PSU but it did pass the 8.2 power sequence. Looks like im going to get a new PSU. Now to see if the PSU really is bad im going to put it in my second desktop to see if she boots. That should confirm the bad PSU. If the other pc boots then i will try to boot the new comp. w/ PSU out of the case to see if there is some possible grounding occuring while the PSU is mounted inside the TJ07. Maybe one the the leads on the PSU cables is touching the metal frame of the case.
Report back later.

Edit:
Pulled PCP&C out of the new computer .... tried booting w/ PSU out of case .... no go, 8.2 error code still. Swaped PcP&P into old computer booted w/ no issues. Im deff. confused on this one.
Ok could someone with knowledge of electronics please explain the whole Vdroopo mod please? I believe this would help a lot of us noobs messing with VR's and soldering. It would be much appreciated. And thanks for all the help already :up:
So for me I'm just putting together my build, the board hasn't even been turned on. Could someone please explain how to measure the resistance before you solder and then after? I'm using this http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=family
Options are:
OHM's 200, 2K, 20K, 200K and 2M
DC options 2V, 20V, 200V and 500V
AC 200V, 500V
Heres a pic of how I did the solder, I used the middle and bottom legs of the 1kOhm VR and it's a 20 turn.
Thanks for all the help guys :)
thanksQuote:

You can send the bad one back to PCP&C to get repaired/replaced; I think they have a 5-year warranty.Quote:

Now back on topic, I did purchase a 1K ohm varriable resistor today while @ frys electronics. Don't have the courage yet to start soldering onto the mobo.Quote:

Remember, lowering resistance will decrease vdroop.... Ive given up on this board and when I took out my vmods, I checked the resistance and it was only 50ohms.... not saying thats where it should be but just suprised it was that low....
This issue has been flagged to CPUz... if you start uGuru first and then CPUz 1.41 the system will lock after 1-2 mins... run CPUz and then start-up uGuru and all runs OK :)
Another item that appears to be incorrect with CPUz 1.41 is the Command Rate - always reports 2T even though set at 1T in BIOS which is also confirmed by Memset :confused:
These boards are getting better ... although I am not fully sure about the v12-2 beta BIOS... still cannot complain ;)
