    can you please tell me how to tell the speed of winbond ram, and at what volt you got it in your nforce and bios version, tnx
    Tell me what it says on the chips of the ram. I am using the UBER hacked bios, but, makes no diff I still can't get above 200. I have the ram at 2.8V

    Not the sticker info, there should be some printing on the actual chips, what does THAT say?

    Ok, that is the good Winbond 5ns chips. This ram is rated at CL 2.5, but I run it at 4-2-2-2 at 200 FSB. Now, keep in mind that it should not be the ram holding back your FSB, it is something else, chipset voltage I suspect. I used the UBER bios but that still has not let me go past 200 How high of a FSB were you able to go with your other ram?

    195, when I try 200, it corrupted my drive, do you know the procedure to reach max, a program to test memory, I try memory86, and when it reaches 64%, the section of errors goes up very fast, its this normal, I try@ 133, 166, 190, and samething

    If you are getting errors in memtest, there is a problem with the ram, especially at only 133! How many sticks do you have? If you have more than 1, test each stick seperately with memtest to see which one is the problem...

    I try 166, like for 30m and no errors, what is the shortest period of time need to find most errors?

    I am happy to report that my first vmod was a SUCCESS!!!
    No pops or smoke when I turned it on!!!

    Here is a pic:


    Here is what I have my 1600+ upto so far using 2.0v:




    My temps are still awesome 34 idle--38 load.
    Man... The SLK-800 and 92mm Tornado is a great combo!

    I tried to set the voltage over 2.0v without success.

    I set it to 2.05, save changes and exit from the BIOS.
    Then something weird happens.
    The system will not display anything and some of my case fans stop working. My CPU fan still runs but my exhaust fans stop.
    I have to pull the power plug, lower the resistor(voltage) and wait a few minutes for it to reset. Then I get video again.

    Does this systemboard have some sort of OverVolt Protection?
    Could it be something else causing this?

    The reason why I did this volt mod was to get this 1600+ stable above 1800mhz. I was kinda hoping to hit 1.9ghz with the vmod but it looks very doubtful.

    Maybe I should just fry this damn 1600+ and buy me a 1700+ Tbred 'B'. I heard they have been hitting 2.5ghz!!!

    yes you are correct, whener you pass the limit your mobo will freeze, and if you restart while alittle over, you system will freeze and off and on again and it should work, but everytime it will need to be shut off and then on again, something like, but is better to find the sweet spot and you won't have any problems

    Yeah...thats exactly what is happening.
    What I did was adjust the volatge regulator higher with the system off. I know this sounds crazy but I did it in small increments. I got the system to boot at 2.05v but I can't reboot. It just craps out.

    So I backed it down to 2.01v and now it works fine.

    I just ordered a 1700+ 'B'.
    Hopefully I can get it upto 2.5ghz like some of the others I have seen. 1860mhz just isn't cutting it!!

    some more bad news , I found out that the problem with my system not wanting to run my memory higher them 174, the more I increase the cpu volt mod, the more errors I get, I think there is a conflict, can somebody confirmed this

    dammi* now I get the same issue with my r9700, what could it be?

    Guys do you think by putting washers on the bottom of the screws that grap the board to the case might help?

    Nunez, could it be that your hitting the capability of your ram? I have a 256mg Samsung pc2700 and I cannot take it more than 178fsb at even the most relaxed setting. My OCZ on the other hand goes as high as my mobo can take it.

    no, you don't get, in simplier terms

    pc with mod, max 174 4-2-2-2

    pc without mod, max 200 4-2-2-2

    this is also happening to my r9700, the more voltage the gpu gets, the worst the performance of the memory, just like the cpu


    this is an issue, cause I need more voltage to be able to run the cpu real fast, but in return the memory is doing bad, when both are used at the same time, dammi*, Now I remember that a friend told me that if a board is not designed to run cpu volt up to 2.2, there might be problems getting one that only does 1.85 to 2.2 oh well, thats life,

    solution, new mobo, or just get half and half

    You won't be able to hit 2.25v on the vcore... most people top out at 2.12-2.18v.

    For 3.3v, hmm... I think that would be around 11.5k? When I was @ 12.6k I believe I had 3.2v. *I think*. I could be wrong.

    sorry for being a tard, but i looked through the first page and couldn't find my answer, so my question is, what do I use to connect the wire to the chip? Solder? Glue?

    Sorry for the dumb and probably repetive question

    I used an SMD Grabber, I would NOT recommend glue for this mod, either solder or use a grabber. I put some pics in this thread somewhere...

    No. Radio shack does not have them. Fry's does if you have one near you, or you need to order from online. Here is some more info: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&threadid=1152

    Here is my pictures: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1505#post71505

    SMD grabber is a little hook that you use instead of soldering into the board to make the connection, good for people like me that don't have any experience with soldering

    yes you can buy some grabber at radio shack but they are in a form of hook that looks like and L with one stringe coming out which is not as good as the ones found at fry's or online, that has two and hooks more secured...

    I bought some online for the mobo and I'm using two that I got from radio shack for my r9700, but I had to clue then to make sure then don't slip
