Abit AW9D-MAX, vcore mod needed

[hipro5]

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


Regards

Martin

At over 2.03Vcore, it shuts down from OVP......

Thank's for info

Hmmm EVGA shut's down on 1.95V, ABIT over 2.03V. Not good board for haard clocking

OVP mod ?

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.

You need to measure from the leg of the coil, the copper part is insulated and wont give you a reading. so measure the parts with solder on them.

well thanks for clarifying!

but as i stated, i used the resistors and they seem to work as well.

im just about to order a waterblock for the northbridge to gain more then 435 fsb like i did on with cooling. i wouldnt extra cool the mosfets if its not beneficial. what do you guys think, is it worth to order a waterblock for mosfets as well for high fsb ?

Need your help guys:

Any alternative vmod points for vdim and vmch where grabbers can be used?

Any alternative soldering points for vcore mod?

Thanks a lot

I can verify that the vcore mod is working.

Here is also a read out for the vmch, along with a vmch booster mod. (either ends of the thick wire)
The booster mod is engineered by Hipro, all credit goes to him!

I'm new to the modding scene. I'm just wondering what kind of wire that is, I've decided to finally put my soldering iron to good work but I'm still in awe of all the info out there.

That specific one is just a wire from an MOLEX -> SATA power cable, but any one will do... The thicker the better.

Success! Booster mod and Vfsb mod. This was my first time modding a board. Booster was very simple. Its been a while since I soldered but I think they came out OK. There is a little too much bare wire showing but it should be ok. Vfsb mod was a little scary but after reading Thrilla's awesome guide I was a little more confident. Now I just need to find the sweet spot and finally let this e6700 run wild

If anyone was wondering, not only can you use the read point for voltage, but GURU also has Vfsb labeled as "CPU VTT 1.2 Voltage"

And a few pics





Anyone know the safe range for voltage? GURU starts buzzing at 1.45v which is like 1.39-1.4 actual. Thanks for the guides great work!

vdimm and vmch / chipset mods for AW9:

vdimm:


......cut......

Both mods will give approx. +0.1V when soldered in.

I have tried them both myself

guys,
I would have need to arrive to 3V max on the vdimm, it's possible with this mod or could be of the problems?....which is the max sure voltage that i can set with this mod?

thanks and sorry for English

True, I can verify that one

i have done this mod but when i lower resistence from 50kohm the readout voltage indicated drops from 1.22 instead of rising
i looked at the datasheet and see the pin below may have the opposite effect.
would using a 50kohm resistor on this other pin perhaps raise vfsb for me?
datesheet here: http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/data.../5/LM358.shtml
i'm aiming for more fsb for a coming cpu/gpu dry-ice bench.
i have good copper cooling for the NB and i would appreciate any help with more fsb ...

thanks

I know the board is kinda old already, but if someone is still interested, I could post the GTLREF and some other mods.

I still use this board daily and very interested in GTLREF and other mods, post it please

[celemine1Gig]

OK then. As soon as I get back home, I'll post the needed information, if I don't forget it. If I haven't posted it one week from now, please send me a PM, because then I sure forgot about it.

Edit:
I'm back at home now. Will collect the pics and post them when I'm ready.

Here's the pic describing the VDroop-, QRSEL- and GTLREF[3:0]-mods:

Update: I also did the Southbridge Voltmod yesterday. If anyone's still interested, I could post the instructions for this one, too. It's on the same LM358 as the VFSB-Mod.

Edit:
My account where the pic was hosted was changed. I will update as soon as I have the time to and have finished all the mods. Will be ~ mid February 08.

OK, on request here's the updated link to the pics for VCCPLL-, VDROOP-, QRSEL-, and GTLREF-Mods:

The pics should be pretty much self-explanatory.
