    ok, its hella hard to read, but this is what im 99% sure it is...

    ISL6569CB
    P0427bcsk
    ^
    could be a o, but i think its an 0

    that help ya at all?

    EDIT: looked on google, only thing i could find is a quote on a forum
    "V core mod use a 50K vr to pin 10 of chip ISL6569CB :-"

    soi would go ground to 50k VR to pin 10, that sound right to you? thanks

    ISL6559CB, I believe. Yes, Pin10 to pin15 (GND) via 50k trimmer. Lower resistance for more vcore.

    yea yea yea...all that warranty BS...lol, ok thanks

    EDIT: i think it is the ISL6569CB, there are both of them, only difference is the ISL6569CB vs 6559 is less pins..

    Probably all NF3 boards use ISL6559 or ISL6569 for vcore controller. So I just looked for an IC that looked like either one.
    Please, post the pic. If it is of good quality, I'd like to put it on my site. If you give me permission, of course.
