Vdimm/Vcore mod for MSI K8N Neo2 PLatinum-54G Edition S939

[I(illa Bee]

Sweet, thanks big time dude, i just mesured mine, im 1.62v...heres the thing, my BIOS is set to 1.55v with + 10%....so thats the highest this board will go, thats not too high for a 90nm core is it? what voltage do other 90nm users use?

since its 1.4v stock.. my temps look good an its runn good..

[_zZz_]

For "normal" overclockers... is it safe to do the vdimm like this?




what are the differences for pc_ice way?

thanks a lot

Hi, I'm currently running a Winchester 3000+ at 295x9. BIOS is set to 1.55V+10%, CPU-Z says about 1.61-1.63V under load but I'm reading 1.39V idle and 1.35V load from that mosfet!

It's semi-stable at this speed, I can play CS:Source indefinitely but Superpi fails 32M test after about 6 minutes. Is the Vcore really that low?

[Edit] One more thing, using clockgen I can set the VID to anything equal to or below 1.45V but anything higher (goes up to 1.55V) and it just stays at 1.45V. Strange.

that just makes it 3.3v right? I was thinking of getting a DDR booster but my memory like 3.0v, (TCCD) so i was thinking ill try a 3.3v mod and see if it likes that, if it dose ill go with it.

[_zZz_]

it makes Vdimm = Vio.. so u can change the 3.3v line of the power supply...

what do you mean you can change the PSU 3.3v line? Your talking about a sence wire mod right? Not in the bios?

[arctic-k20]

if your psu has pots on each rail like the ocz powerstream psu's - or if you install the pots your self

[I(illa Bee]

ohh ok, yea my PSU has pots, i put them there myslef

I jsut didnt understand what you were sayin..

For the VDD mod, there are 2 solder pads for both the red and brown wires. Do I solder the wires to the pads closest to the SATA ports or do I need to bridge the solder pads and attach the wires. It is hard to tell from the picture.

THANKS!
If you set it higher than 1.75 you wil get more than 10mhz in htt?There is a safe max voltage limit?

probably not

Hi out there .... Have a question about the Vdimm mod for the K8N Neo 2

Here we can see the default mod ...



And here You can see the Mod for the MSI K8T Neo2-F done for a friend of my.



U can see, i soldered direktly to the RamSlots. Will this work for the K8N Neo2 too, or have I to use the Capa Mod ?

[_zZz_]

i've done the one on the first picture and it works great

[Giana]

One other question ... i have read the K8N Neo2 tips and tricks guide .... there is an informnation wich is telling me the OCZ Booster will work to 4V on Slot 4

The OCZ Homepage just tells me the Booster will only work to 3.4V for this Board.

Wich information is correct ?!?

[_zZz_]

the one here of course :P

this board tracks the vtt correctly,so theres no problem on it

I've got 2 questions:

1) Pot for VDD mod should be 20k right? To increase voltage I need to lower the resistance?
2) Can I use JC11 (chassis intrusion jumper) to plug my 3.3V vio mod on it? So I can turn it on and off.... using a jumper

Hi everybody:
My first post (from Spain)

I get same problem that adslegend, CPU-Z says 1.600 and mosfet read 1.39 idle and 1.35 load. If I put 1.40 bios and CPU-Z says 1.400-1.39, mosfet read is 1.20 . Is posible that reading point of vcore was other point, what??

Thanks

Hey ! Is there anyone out there who have made this mod on a MSI K8TNeo2 -F ?

[Zebba]

Or any simple guide to do a vdimm mod on a MSI K8T Neo2 -F

[raydelee]

may i know how to get vdimm reading on multimeter for MSI K8N NE0 2?

thx

[funkflix]

Maybe u should try to read the Thread ....

[raydelee]

it is the JC11 on the picture measuring point for Vdd
both multimeter probe on the pins or red on the either one & black probe on casing

thx

[funkflix]

Red on the green Point Black on Case or any other Ground.

[raydelee]

thanks bro...

[Barr3l Rid3r]

Direct mod on/off





And what I could get from that

[kasius]

Definitely, what is the reading VCORE point?? I´m confused. Some pic?

Bye
