ASUS P5E3 voltmods needed

[dinos22]

it says it's 0.5 ohm LOL
same for the other spot

kinda goes to 1.5 when i first connect the two spots and then slowly drops to 0.5 and settles there

[dinos22]

btw i have a fairly cheap US$30 DMM so maybe it's not 100%

i did compare it to my friends Fluke and it measures rails (12V and 5V) the same as the Fluke did

vmod solved, see persivores post below.

[dinos22]

ok and OVP?

[dinos22]

do you or anyone know where vcore read point is so that i don't have to go fishing for it heh

[crotale]

Take vcore from the back of the board, at the CPU side of one of the coils.
Johnny Bravo has an excellent thread about it here:

For OVP, try to find an alternative to PIN13 we talked about earlier.

Bad News

"The ADP3228 device is 'pre-release' and therefore the data sheet is not available at this time"

[crotale]

Not needed, we just need someone to try the mod out.

OVP isn't hard to bypass as long as the 22 ohm PIN actually is the FBRTN. We can only find out by trying.

i found the alternative spot for PIN13

in YELLOW circle

I've attached some photos showing Vcore, Vdroop, Vdimm and Vmch mods. Hope they help

[dinos22]

is this for P5E3 DLX with ADP3228

[crotale]

Good stuff persivore. Do you mind giving us a run down off what the two red and two green spots are connected to?

[persivore]

Yea, its for the P5E3 Deluxe. I didn't check the writing on the Vcore regulator, but I assume its ADP3228.

is this for P5E3 DLX with ADP3228

The top red point connected to the capacitor is ground and the bottom red point connected to the resistor is connected to FB (either pin 15 or 16, can't remember which now - resistance to ground was around 850ohms iirc).

[dinos22]

pls check

this is awesome

Sounds similar to what dinos22 measured.

I removed my previous posts not to confuse them with the tested version.

[persivore]

I can't check because the board is packaged up ready to send back to its owner tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure it will be the ADP3228. I can't see Asus using different chips/board layouts on the boards. The layout of the Vcore regulator you posted photos of is the same as the board I modded, so I'm 99% sure the mod will work fine on your board (and other P5E3 Deluxes too) .

pls check

this is awesome

[dinos22]

thanks a lot man

gotta send the board over to a friend to mod it

mmm actually maybe i'll brave it out and do it myself hahaha

I received a new P5E3 Deluxe, one week ago, and on my board, the Vcore regulator is : ASP0700, same on Maximus Extreme

[r1rhyder]

Thanks Persivore, my p5e3 deluxe also has the ASP0700 regulator. Do you think your mods will work with this regulator too? Same board layout.

[r1rhyder]

For Persivore,

Best pics I could get.

[r1rhyder]

I did the vcore mod to my p5e3 deluxe with vregulator chip ASP0700, works great.

[Astri]

Based on persivore's mod, i did the same on P5E DDR2 version. I couldnt find any info around the web for this

So here it is:



It works fine for me

[4Qman]

Anyone getting problems with this board P5e3 Deluxe DDR3 and vcore/vdroop Mod ?

I did the vdroop/vcore mod and i am having really delicate issuse with this board. Increasing the Ccore above 1.8v will cause the board to shut off as if OVP is kicking in

Also the board is having trouble dealing with NB voltage above 1.7v it will crash and not run 3d

My board is on cascade cooling and NB temperature never goes above 20oC as in a cold garage.

any input please.

[HoriWanderFuLL]

I Know it is a Big ask..But does anyone know of a P5E3 vcore Mod..Non Delux Board.

just had a good look at mine with a magnifying glass and mine is showing clearly differant to the delux layout

Thanks Hori
