multi meter noob help

ok i'm doing this mod
http://www.motherboardfaqs.com/article.php?12.255


what setting on my multi metter do i need to have it on v dc or
a dc


also what readout should i get before the mod? the 1.7 as stated in the bios?

how do i know if i did it right? cause every setting i set my multi meter too i never got 1.7 before i did the mod. the only setting i could get it to read anything was at v dc 200m and it was like between 3.4 and 5.6 on the multi meter. i know i had the right contact points checked 10 times.

V dc

First set your Vdd voltage to 1.5V or so. Save the settings and reboot back into the bios. Now take your meter and set it to Volts DC. Measure the voltage of the Vdd so you know what 1.5V in the bios really gives.


Use ONE of the 2 points in the pic. So put the meter on one of the points and the other pin of the meter on your case.
Both voltage checkpoints give different voltages, but that doesn't matter. It's the difference after the mod that counts.

Now you know what 1.5V gives and you can do the mod. Turn the system off first.

The trick to this mod is to lower the resistance of the little resistor on the pic. Normally it's about 570 Ohms. So take your multimeter and check that. Set the meter to Ohms. Now pencil as stated on the site and measure resistance again. 30 Ohms less would give 0.1V increase.

So lets say you measure 560 before and 530 after penciling. Start the system, set meter to V DC and measure on the same voltage check point as before. If the voltage is higher then you did it.

Repeat the pencil trick until you have the desired voltage

i think thats what my probelm was. i was putting each tip on both spots i'll have to try after dinner with one on one and the other on the case.
