ive not had much luck getting a modded bios for 3.2vdimm so im gonna do it the good old way. ill also do vtt.
what vr would i need and would i need a fixed resistor?
im think if 200ohms is used for vtt then 1k should be enough for vdimm.
heres a pic i got from the vtt thread

i really need this mod to do 250-260fsb so i can take some of the work off my card in benches. (got 12753 03marks and i want 16k) thanks very much
here is VTT

and i guess ill start working on vdimm :D

Here is the pin that controls Vdimm output/sensing. You can see a resistor and an empty space below it that are both reading Vdimm it appears.
Someone do a connectivity between those places and that pin to see which, if not both, places are connected to that pin. The mod will be easy from there.
you mean the resistor and the pads to the above left of the pin which read 2.62? ill check it when i turn my comp off next. tomorrow im gonna buy the stuff for vtt and vdimm as well as vgpu.
as a side note, my dmm doesnt doo beep check, dont know why. its got the setting but it doesnt beep even on a metal surface 1cm apart
thanks guys
ok done. pin#4 at that orientation reads .7ohms i guess thats continuity.
i tested it with the silver resistor
i couldtn check any more cuase it was in my case. im thinking of maybe not having a case anymore cuase its hard to work on board and also hard to put fans on dimms
ok ive got all the stuff, so would the mod go like this?
and for the vtt, i set to max resistance as well?
Are you going to try and soulder to that tiny tiny leg?
got a better way?
im having no luck on the vtt mod, tried it cats way and hipro5s way, and never got above 1.3v. before i started the mod bios read 1.45vtt, whats up?
im reading this from the wires connected to r19, ive removed it and soldered onto the pads, but no voltage rise. also i cant keep my board powered on for longer than 10 seconds. ishould i put my cpu in, its just an empty board now
UPDATE: vtt successful! cat your way worked! i guess there was a bad connection or something. so now im gonna do vdimm. i think this would be a better way:
it wouldnt let me post on an edit:
Sure you don't have to remove the resistor and replace it like the IC7?
i don't know, this is my first vdimm mod. i didnt do it to my 8rda3+ cuase it involved trace cutting.
it may have to be done by removing the resitor, (which measures about 680ohms) then soldering a wire to each pad and to the VR, then another from the vr to ground
once ive done these mods ill make the first ever KV8 Pro vmod guides
Hi, will be waiting to see the results if the mod is successful ;)
Pics would be appreciated :)
Cheers,
Byron
yeh sure. ill make a guide to both mods. i may even make a website to post them on.
any develpoments hellfire or catalyst.x?
You may have to remove that resitor. It reads 680ohms but that is in-circuit, you need to unsolder it and check resistance. If the circuit requires decreasing resistane to increase vdimm, then you can simply solder a trimmer to each side of that resistor and lower reistance. If its anything like the IC7 mod tho (which i think it will be) you will need to remove that resistor and start at low ohmage and raise to increase voltage. Anyway, unsolder that beast and take a reading :D

ok will do, but i ahte how these resistors are so small, to remove the vvt one i just burnt it then scratched it off with a multimeter probe so i dint risk buring the mosfet. it turned to dust. ill have to be more careful this time
Vdimm mod figured, thx HF for pointing out the res, i couldnt have figured the mod w.o ya :P Post some pixors reject. Basically, remove the resistor that HF outlines and add a 1K VR in its place. Lower resistance for more volts.

i found out a really wierd thing when i increase vdimm to 3v in uguru and then i look in abit eq the vtt lays something like 1.3-1.4 and the vdimm lays in 3.07 wouldnt the vdimm be something like 2.6-2.8?
Pics of the mod CaTalyst.X would be really helpfull :D
How far you managed to go on Vdimm btw?
Cheers,
B
what are you trying to say? When you didn't do the Vtt mod, your Vtt will drop again to 1.3 levels when you set Vdimm above 2.8V in GURU software.Quote:

im trying to say that my vdimm doesnt drop but my vtt does so is it a like that or ust a messuremt bug?Quote:

i havent been on earlier cuase the board was down and i was on eocf.
when i turn on my mobo, it says 83, then 9c, then 9f and off it goes. i dont know what it is maybe theres a short, but all my stuff is plugged in tight. please any suggestions? or ill have to sell one cpu for a lanpartyUT
reject, mind asking you, i'm having same post codes when i don't have the 12v 4 pin connector from the psu connected. Are you sure it is not the CPU ?
Because i had a working cpu from a friend of mine and i think it died on that motherboard! Well at least it was dead when i send it to him back to test it :(
My motherboard is new and i've tried two cpu's so far, both with same results and the second cpu which i got today i hope it didn't killed that one as well!
no, i bought another cpu and put it in and it was the same.
or are you saying these boards kill cpus? if thats true, then abit is well and truly in the gutter, im gonna give them such a whipping :slapass:
Yes that is what i'm saying m8.... i'm w8ting reply from the store i bought the second mobo. If they say that the cpu is dead then NEVER ABIT AGAIN FFS!.
Better try your new cpu on another mobo to see if it still working ;)
Because both of mine didn't!
And to be honest if that motherboard is killing the cpu's then how we can claim our money back for the cpu's from Abit???? (if that is possible)
I've fed up with the whole story, 2 cpu's one dead the other prolly dead too...tested on two same Abit mobo's.
two weeks now without pc... i've had enough with that s**hit.
yeh, abit are really sucking. after nf7-s v.2, there boards have been so :banana::banana::banana::banana:. i dont have another mobo :aboutcry:
i may buy a k8ns pro, and vmod it, but i really want to get a dfi, cept there so expensive maybe i can get someone to send from usa.
if my cpus dont work on my new mobothen abit is gonna get a lot of :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:mail
Yeah if those KV8's killed the cpu's let me know so we can both send them some :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: emails ;)
Never regret i had two NF7's... both where working top notch :cool: and this p.o.s. can't even post and kills cpu's :rolleyes:
Test your cpu on a mobo quick m8!, i'm w8ting mine to be tested in the middle of this week :(
There are two stores in UK which you can pre-order the DFI, www.overclockers.co.uk and www.cpucity.co.uk but i don't know if cpucity ships in Australia. Worth to have a look as they costs as much as the Abit! (~75£)
i have a lot of family in britiain so it may be possible, but first im gonna email dfi to see why there so expensive here
could just forget DFI....ASUS ain't bad....neither is MSI...altho I would like a DFI board....lol o'well....ASUS could be a very viable alternitive.
which board? the k8v SE dlx? becasue the k8n-e sucks. :confused:
those two boards are reciveving pretty good reviews....one's VIA and one's Nivdia....both are nice....main different to me is the higher price tag on the Nivdia.
you can do the vdimm mod the same way it is done on the gigabyte k8n boards. vtt still needs to be modded though. i posted a pic of it in the vtt mod thread.
dude we done it, but now our boards died. :D
jjcom: i need fsb up to at least 270
here are the pics. they are unedited yet but now you can do what you need with them.
btw. i think i know what killed my board. i reset the bios without turning off the power i think. :eek:
I know what killed your board. Your naked cables!!! What about insulation man? :)Quote:

i had them all blu tacked up, i pulled it off for the shots
yes i did vtt first and it was good. i was priming for 1h 40 mins at 260ht, went to bios and put multi to 10 and vcore to 1.65, and tehn bios kept freezinf for about 10 restarts, the i reset cmos and it was dead.
reject, you don't have a buddy nearby to hotflash your bios?
unfortunatly i dont :( but i should be getting a dfi as soon as i can sell my 5600. i might try ebay is it easy?
So is it safe to do this mod or not? Does the vdimm mod kill it, or was it just something else? I need more vdimm, but don't need a dead board.
okey, reject- what are vdimm and vtt mods on your pictures and what trimms did you use?
bump
Just want to know if this is safe to do or not, and how does the integrated memory controller handle this? If my proc. has sufficient cooling does it matter?
all right this is probly old hat by now, but someone on vr forums is gonna do it, so im clarifying:
vdimm: solder a 1k VR to each pad of the removed resistor, and set to 790 ohms BETWEEN 1ST 2 LEGS. lower resistance to increase vdimm. MAKE SURE vtt is at or less than 1/2 vdimm, this board will kil ur cpu if vtt is more then 1/2.
eg. if u want 3.2vdimm, u mmight wanna set 1.6vtt and 3.25 vdimm to be safe
after the voltage u want is found, solder the 3rd leg of vr to the nearby ground hole
this mod was around the time the forums was hacked tso Cat and i talked thru pm at eoc. sorry for any unanswered questions.
