Epox 8K9A2+ Vcore mod.

[KS1]

I think Fewture meant HIS was 8K9A2 and not 8K9A2+, did not you Fewture?

Anyway, You can follow the mod guide corresponding to your m/b. Both of them are shown in this thread.

A bit confusion about the boards..

On my PCB is: 8K9A2

But I think mine is sold as a 8K9A. The 8K9A2 would have LAN onboard??? And the 2+ would have raid also..

But all this type stuff doesn't matter very much now does it? All that matters is the chip. So if you have a 8K9A but w/ a different chip i would NOT recommend soldering on it. I'm sorry about the confusion I might have caused.

What matters is the chip and not the board. Very simpel. :p

8K9A vcore mod done!

see it:



HIP6302 CHIP

10k resistor PIN 7 (FB) to PIN 9 (Ground)

but now comes the funniest thing, i've checked the kt3 mod at mods4me and they recommended a 18k to get 2.0v (1.85vbiosmax)
As i wanted a little more i've used a 15k resistor...after i soldered it i measured it and it read 10k this was certainly caused when i touched the resistor with the iron while was soldering! i was a little scared because i thought that it was gonna be too much voltage, when i plug the board and turn it on, only more 0.1v!! what the hell! This must be an OVP but how did the guys at mods4me got 2.0v?? i'm confused...

i checked the PDF again and searched for the OVP and it seems to be pin10 (VSEN) wich is connected directly to the vcore line
so what should i do now? cut it?

Where did you measure the voltage? If it was the bios, it could be inaccurate so measure at the mosfet.
