The ULTIMATE ASUS CT-479 Adapter Modifications...You want MORE...GET IT...

[hipro5]

MOST of the mods are here.......
Yet another two of them, most for stability in high frequencies(our maxed out)....
Tommorow I'll upload them too....

[hipro5]

This is a simple one.....ADD a 50 Ohms or 56 Ohms resistor onto each existing one......The onboard are 56 Ohms.....This helps when we overclock with higher than 1.55VCore to eliminate the Vdrop due to current drawing, onto two pins of the adapter feeding by those two resistors....




Vchip mod

Solder a 10KOhms 25 turns trimmer onto this capacitor to ground and trimm it so as to accive about 3.7 - 3.75Volts onto onboard chips......Before power up, trimm it at it's MAX value(10KOhms) and then solder it.....This helps the stability and "presses" a bit the onboard chips so as to handle the "load" and the "fast switchings" better.....






I know......I know......I must buy a new digital camera with analog zoom......Digital zoom sucks.....

Thank You!!!

[Johnny Bravo]

thanks very much George always a pleasure to try out your new mods

[cirthix]

thanks hipro5!

now who's going to test them?

Ordering parts and getting some testing done this weekend mate

Ordering parts and getting some testing done this weekend mate

alright

/me waits eagerly

[Maviryk]

I will test them also. Waiting for my hipro5 mod kit to come in. Props to hipro5!

[De5tr0yer]

could u post that mod in one piece here? it's really hard to get it straight when it has so many parts. 23 pages!

[Maviryk]

I just got my hipro5 kit in the mail today, will be modding the adapter tonight.

What's this so-called 200FSB barrier everyone talks about? I'm able to run 207x13, 240x11, 265x10 just fine (via clockgen) on my PM750. For boot-up however it likes around 225 or so, but that's still past this "barrier."

I just wish I had PCI-E

Fastest SPI so far for me is 28secs with a modded P4C800EDLX with 1023 Bios.

The V-chip resistor should be a 15k Ohm pot or more, I used a 10k Ohm one and got 3.92V .

I think I'm doing something wrong, just finished all the mods and my 750 doesn't clock any better than it did before, will be trying a different motherboard tonight.

same here
the 730 in my sig behaves the same way it did before the mods
maybe max of chip reached?

[De5tr0yer]

could someone post that mod in one piece? please? or send it to my email?

Quick question do those tiny capacitors have a + and - Side like alumium caps ?

Or can I install them any way and not worry about + or _

the ceramic caps in the mod (the small surface mount ones) are nonpolar

the electrolytic by the power plug and the tantalum underneath both have polarity

Hipro5, on the chip mod using in a 10kOhms resistor gets me 4v on the chip, is this too high? I notice that trimming down the VR increases voltage so is a bigger needed for can I get away with it?

[hipro5]

You should put a trimmer of 20KOhms......This mod is on my adapter and I use to "push" things a bit more though....I use PSU's 3.3V rail @ 3.7Volts Also I had my adaptor at 3.87Volts......Replace the Vchip trimmer with a 20KOhms or with a 50KOhms so as to have more adjustments.....

[Johnny Bravo]

will do

Hipro, a question for the Legend. On fully modded adapter one of added smd capacititors burned, it was probably soldered on wrong direction. But afterward, adapter worked fine, until recently, when it stoped working, whit no aparent reason.
A question is, it is repirable? It probably died cause that smd, so i could replacing all smds nearby bring it back to life?

It seems that one of the ICs are down.....This had happen to me and to a friend of mine with no reason at all - even default - ......I think the exact same thing had happen to other guys too......

Try to see though if a tiny resistor is destroyed via soldering onto it......Heat is an enemy to those tiny ones.......Use a magnify glass to do so and a multimeter so as to measure them......

[zbogorgon]

I have looked and there is no aparent destruction noticed on adapter

that smd burned, so i looked and "the thing" right above lookes a bit bad (PC7) but i don't know what it is, to replace it. And i think maybe smd right below could be damaged to.

Those SMDs are not burning down that easy......Could you measure the Mos-fet to see if it's down?......It must NOT show you on a multimeter sort circuit......

[zbogorgon]

those points are connected, short-curcuit.
it's not grounded thou.

IF the midle leg of the mos-fet (case) is showing sort circuit with it's right leg(the one you are pointing), then the Mos-Fet is down......

[zbogorgon]

no, those are two peeks, left are all circuited between themselfs, and right, two points are connceted.
But left and right peek are not connected.
