Help with vdimm & vcore mods for ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe, please.

[persivore]

For the Vcore mod, connect a 50k VR between the pin marked in post #9 and ground. Decrease resistance to increase voltage.
If the pin on the chip is too small to solder to, could someone post a high res picture of the chip so I can look for an alternative solder point.

Cool! Thanks! But you're right, those legs are quite tiny. Here's a close-up I managed to snap, without removing a heatsink. Kind of crappy due to bursting flash, but only this way I could get the traces to show up on a pic.





EDIT: It looks like that soldering pad I marked might be the best choice for an alternative for Pin7, am I correct?

Soldering pad on the top dosn't working, i will try pin7 later. For the M2N-E owners, the vcore spot doesn't exist, there is only 3 phase not 4 phase like on SLI version, the 4th choke doesn't exist so it can not be the measuring point. Use 3th choke.

I have not done vcore mod myself yet, but have you also looked at the 1st pic that ^don.k's^ added in post #22. The top soldering pad I marked on my pic was the one I was not sure about. I was waiting for someone to confirm that since ^don.k's^ marked the very very top one. Now,that I think about it, the soldering pad he marked is the correct one...

I tried and nothing happend:

hello
i was wondering if a 50k resistror wud work. so if i set the voltage to jus say 1.8v, the acctual voltage wud be sumthing like 1.95v depending on the type of resisitor used. can sum 1 confirm plz. THIS ONE: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...50k%20&doy=2m9


or wud this one be better as its 22K and wud this work. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ia=22k&doy=2m9

and Wat bout this 25K: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ia=22k&doy=2m9
plz reply
thankz

hello
i was wondering if a 50k VR wud work. and if i set settings in the bios to 1.8v, wud the actual voltage be like 1.95v depending on the resistor i use.
wud this 50K work: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...2201&criteria=

or this 25k: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...6499&criteria=

or what about this 22k

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ia=22k&doy=2m9

which one s the best. i wud like to have a min of AT LEAST 1.9v becoz that is my rams rating

Here is correct spot for vcore mod:



And the reading spot for vcore is also bad, the another leg of choke is the right one (Asus M2N-E)
