can anybody locate the vcore measuring point ?
Measure it at any of the four coils around the CPU socket.
Did you guys remove the thermal pad of the coolers to apply AS5 on the north/southbridge? Or just aplpy on both those two "chips" and put the coolers with thermal pad that they came with ?
Making the mod's right now. :)
Remove the thermal pad.
Definetely remove the pad, it kills the thermal transfer.
Can we se the bost Vmch mod?
Isn't this mobo TOO "strong" ?......
Take a look at the PCB.....:D

hipro do you think its making contact? Maybe you need more mounting pressure!
Yes I have thought of that too.....Maybe I'll "press" it a bit more......:DQuote:

(actually after squeezing way too much the board to extreme ancles one core was disappearing ... untill he loose the screws) :p
Way to go Hipro! :D
Can anyone verify if mods are the same for AW9D non-MAX???
How do you come up with this stuff Hipro? Are you an electrical engineer?
Electronics engineering....:)Quote:

Ditto, if anyone would be kind enough to show pictures of their completed mods it would be appreciated.Quote:

also, where the heck is the vcore measuring spot? someone says any of the coils around the cpu but which coils were they referring to? :)
The coils are the four black cubes with a thick copper cable in them. They are placed around the socket.
I measure it at the back of the board, at the CPU side of one of the coils.

It's also possible to measure at one side of the small capacitors inside of the coils here. (Just try... one side is ground, the other is vcore)
i've tried all 4 coils and i can't get the vcore to be measured.Quote:

One simply question : what max vcore mobo can do ? More than 1.95V or not ?

To answer your question, no.
