Anyone has a copy of picture #3 ?

Hi , TuKo-san


picture#3 of top came to be shown, deleted the image.

Thanks

My first job tomorrow morning!

Thaks FreeCableguy The components has arrived today. Pretty damm small, but I've got a good GOOT 15W Japonese soldering Iron and some skill, I will make it possibel, heheheh


Today I also find a interesting stuff... I'm using an 920 Presler that can hit 4.7Ghz easy on Air here.

Well, I've Tried to configure the multiplier using Intel integrator tool.

I'm dreaming with 1600Mhz of bus..

How? Well, set 1066Mhz in bios and it will give 266Mhz FSB + 50% = 399Mhz x 11 = 4.3Ghz and that's 1:1 DDR2 800Mhz Cas3 2-2-5

Exactly wher the badaxe performance come from...

ok, It worked, but just while in bios mode (Clock showed is right) when I enter in windows my configuration simply disappear and my CPU returns to 1066MHz 14x 3.73Ghz Crap!!


How can I put down this multiplier? Is it possible?

I have a Conroe 6700 ES and v304 board. I used the conductive ink pen recommended by FCG at Radioshack and it worked perfectly. It wasn't too difficult once you figured out what angle to approach the board. It's nice too that there isn't anything else close by that can get screwed up if the ink gets on it.

I'm slowly moving my way up the FSB using the 1304 bios. I'm hoping for 4ghz 24/7 with a Zalman 9500.

The board seems pretty solid but I don't like how the PCI and PCI Express slots are set up. The 2 PCI-E slots are too close for Crossfire when I'm using a Zalman fan on both. I had to put the stock fan back onto the non-Crossfire edition card in order for both to fit. The Asus DH Deluxe board looks like it has a nicer layout but time will tell if the OC ability is the same as this board.

i want to do this mod 30% up and it wont go any higher

[fluffysheap]

Anybody know where the appropriate points are on this board to measure vDIMM and vCore with a multimeter?

any clarification?

[freecableguy]

you can not change the multiplier on non-ES chips...

[Barr3l Rid3r]

But using integrator tool kit made it work!! While in bios but it worked, very very strange..

I received the components, thanks FreCableGuy!! recommended, and we can do more deals futher

[frakka]

It's the same for me.

On my badaxe I'm able to change the multiplier of my 805 using the Intel Integrator Toolkit to edit the bios. This sw don't allow hard bios mod (I can't unhide any hidden menù) but allows some bios modification like change default settings and that make me able to set Enhanced Power Slope on Enabled, or change the CPU VCore without any hw mod.

My system can boot with multi @14 (in bios I'm able to verify it) but when in Windows the system had automatically set 20 as multi again.



Sorry for my English...

[fluffysheap]

Probably you are not able to actually change the multiplier with the toolkit. The multiplier is locked on the CPU, no BIOS can unlock it. All you can do with the toolkit is change the setting in the BIOS, but since the CPU multi is locked on the chip, the setting won't do anything. Which is why when you go into Windows it still shows the regular multiplier. Sorry, I don't think it is possible.

U don't have to excuse about your english...

exactly the same as here SUX!

Freecableguy, can you ship to me, some 2GB DDR2 memmory now?

I don't know.

I set 14 like default multiplier and 800Mhz like default fsb override.
In this way, my cpu frequency should be 4Ghz (20x200) anyway and 4GHz is the frequency that I can see in windows. But if I enter in bios my cpu frequency is set to 2.8Ghz (14x200).

I can do a photo of my bios main page if is usefull.

Anyone have pic of Vcore measure point on Bad Axe, pls post it.

[frakka]

First page of this topic.
Image 5, green dot (to ground) to measure VCore.

thanks, I think i need glasses and should of saw this already.

[kenofstephen]

will these mods. work with Rev.301 ??

I don't want this nice board to be wasted......

Hi,
No one still will try.
If the board layout is similar,not possible to know worth trying.

[SIOUX]

Anyone have pic of Vcore measure point on Bad Axe, pls post it.

the blue ring i marked, can also be used as vcore messurement point

[Piotke]

Did the first batch of mods, for compatibility with conroe.

Awfully difficult, but I did it

B'd : 304 board (Bios:1304),(Vcore,Vdimm,VNB,Vfsb,Tcore MOD)
CPU : 631 (retail)
cooling : Water

Is rebooting when set more than Vcore 1.6V (Vcore MOD)
And periodic beef sound happens
booting Message : Proeessor Core Temperature Over Hit ~~!

Can do (Proeessor Temperature Over Hit -> Reboot) function disable by Bios?

Please, Do you inform method?

Is equal phenomenon happened ES Conroe?

thanks for ur reply, but i don't know it works or not still.....

[kenofstephen]

OMG!

the most important images on page.1 disappeared?!!

[BarboneNet]

hi guys.....this is the Shamino's Vdimm Pencilmod

http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=3766

For misure vdimm, i use this point (same Dfi nf4 Ultra-D )


ATTENTION:

My rilevation point is correct.......the point illustred in first page, it isn't corrected (it exceedes of +0,45v)!!!!!!!

[toddm27]

what happened to the pics for conroe support, anybody got a back up set of pics?
