hummm
i use 10k on X
and the max i can only go up to 2.28v....
my board is 304..

That seems pretty weird.
Did you use the same ground spot that I did?
2.7k ohms should equal 2.5V with 2.2V bios option.

ya, that's right.
I'm thinking about use a 5K Ohm VR instead of 10K

yeah, i used the ground point u used
i will check it again later

is there an alternative ground ,we can use? somewhere the grabbers kan get hold on . like leg 3 or something?

The pin opposite the alternative solder point is ground.

thanks

Opposite in which direction? Could you mark it on the pic for us rookies please??

Up, on first photo. It's Pin4 (GND) on SC2612E.

If you want, you can double-check for yourself by poking around with a multimeter, while system is OFF, using Continuity feature of your DMM - put black probe to ground (e.g. screw hole or other ground you know) and touch that Pin4 with red probe. If it beeps, then it means circuit is closed, which confirms what you need
If your DMM doesn't have this feature selectable (beeping), which I doubt, you can still do it by simply switching it to Ohm Mode and doing the same thing described above. If circuit is open, DMM will show Infinity and If it's closed (which confirms ground, in this case) it will show a reading of 0 Ohm.
