Abit AW9D-MAX, vcore mod needed

**BAR*B*Q** · 10-20-2006, 07:44 AM

can anybody locate the vcore measuring point ?

**crotale** · 10-20-2006, 09:01 AM

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.

**CoNMaN** · 10-22-2006, 07:40 AM

Remove the thermal pad.

**Micutzu** · 10-22-2006, 10:17 PM

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.....

**Revv23** · 10-26-2006, 11:45 AM

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......

**esdee** · 10-26-2006, 02:15 PM

yeah, press it more... you'll be definately be the first to find the single core hard mod for c2d

(actually after squeezing way too much the board to extreme ancles one core was disappearing ... untill he loose the screws) :p

**crotale** · 10-26-2006, 02:27 PM

Way to go Hipro!

**charlie** · 10-26-2006, 06:26 PM

Can anyone verify if mods are the same for AW9D non-MAX???

**Noob-ftw** · 10-26-2006, 06:33 PM

How do you come up with this stuff Hipro? Are you an electrical engineer?

Electronics engineering....

Locate this IC......

......AND this spot.....one side of the capacitor......

Would penciling this IC increase the vCore too?

It might yes or no......I haven't tested with pensil mod.....As a matter of fact, I never had to do a pensil mod.....

What do you guys mean by "vfsb mod red spot 50k vr to ground?" Also can someone show a pic of their completed mod for the vfsb and vmch? I'm a complete noob, but heck gotta learn sometimes right?

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

**coop** · 11-22-2006, 10:15 PM

Here are some pics of mine. I used grabbers for the ic's. They are reshaped somewhat to be a little smaller and more secure. Soldering on the ic's I found was not so easy. This seemed to be a safe alternative. vfsb_vmch vfsb read grab vfsb_vmch pots vcore_vdimm Those are really the only pics I have atm. Camera not so great on close ups.

**shimmishim** · 11-23-2006, 06:51 AM

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?

**crotale** · 11-23-2006, 11:52 AM

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.

coop told me to use the small resistors(?) between the top two coils as a measuring spot and it works for me! the side closes to the cpu socket works.

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

To answer your question, no.
