You open it and try to find a pot, oherwise you add it yourself
IIRC the last pin of the L3 is to unlock the cpu or something like that, pc ice can you be more precise?

[DR. YT]

ok so to do this mod on a 1700 i just closr the third l12 bridge?

[jonspd]

Do you guy's think a little peice of wire and clear tape will stay on and work it's just a thoght I had. I see look's like someone used supper glue so Y not something like shipping tape clear with a little peice of wire and place the tape where the wire closes the 3 L12 bridge.

[antipop]

A friend of mine had the same idea to unlock his 1800+ XP and it was a complete failure no matter how precise we were

[jonspd]

Ok well let's try this which 2 pin's do you have to connect on the motherboard socket to be the same as the L12 mod?

[antipop]

I've done it but i don't know if the mod worked, how can i check if my cpu is now a 166MHz chip?
Isn't there a jumper to change on the nf7?

[kup]

WOW!

So by modding my 1700+ to a 166MHz Bus on the chip it should get me far greater overclocks on my nF7 S r2?

And I just join that L12 bridge?

I HAVE DONE THIS AND IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME

Hey pc ice, can i do the 3.3v psu mod with a couple resitors in a series or sumthin dood?

also ive been stuck at 194 max not stable do u guys think connecting an l12 might stagbilize me at higher fsb?

[Jethro]

yeah 8k3a, did the l12 mod seemed the same so i decided to try to get my 3.3v rail up from 3.24. I went to do the mod u describe but then i remember the PSU having 2 pots and couldnt remember what the second pot did, i knew one did 12v/5v and it turns out the other lil pot is for 3.3v WooohOoo.

so i tweaked that pot and me 12/5v pot and now im at 12.16, 5.05 and 3.42 wooot!

hafta try high fsb again, do u guys think 3.3v rail being fixed is good for fsb?

[Jethro]

awesome dood, thanks for the tips wish i hadda unlock multi to play with i hate cranking her up to 13x194 cuz i need 1.95 for 2.52 to be stable. where 2.4 is rock solid at just 1.8vcore (13x185)

so far ive hard modded the cpu's default vcore to 1.65 (for a diff board) and tried unlocking 13+ multi's with no success so ive got my 5th L5 blown for a default of 13. Just cant seem to enable the high bit multi's. May reconnect my fifth L5 to get all my lower multi's accessable again and try for higher fsb now that ive done the L12 and PSU tweaks.

thanks again for your help dood.

From what I have read you should be able to wire the to red pin holes together to make your 2100(266) a 2700(333) by default. I'am going to be tring this after I have setup my NF7-s on my 8rda.

[Volcom]

is this good for a 400W ps ?? And If I do this ps mod will I be able to get a bit more from my OC ??

[jonspd]

I see that your 12+ and 3.3 is kinda low is it about the same as in bios?

[Volcom]

yeah would it help or not really ?

[danbfree]

Say what?? +12 and 3.3 low?? Uhh, last time I checked 12.54 is well over 12v... I have an Antec Tru 430 and mine sits at 11.6 for the +12, 3.22 for the 3.3 and 4.95 for the +5v. If anything his +5 is a little low but not too bad. I guess I'm missing something here since I'm not as hardcore as you guys!

[twiggy]

Those rails look fine to me.

[Volcom]

pc ice you would have a pick of your Ps ?? If i saw i would give it a go but I am stupid whit plans LOL

[Volcom]

And I dont have a brown wire DAMM

[Volcom]

I dont have a cam damm

I've been reading success stories of the L12 mod all over, but I did'nt quite understand why you would have to change the 8bit value? The abit nf7 rev2 gives you access to all multipliers whatever 8bit value you have, so I don't think it would change anything...

Am I missing something here?

Hey. The mod is not for multipliers but for default fsb of the cpus

I think 133Mhz cpus improve fsb ocing by making them 166MHz, and 166MHz cpus the other way round

But the WHY is what I do not know

But who cares It works

[Jethro]

as far as the PSU issues go doods do like i did take urs apart look and see if u have pots if u do set it up to work without cover on top your pc say start your puter to the pc health screen in bios and tweak the pots inside the psu very carefully. U may have to take note of the position there in break the lil dab of glu seal and put em where u remember them being at~ then boot the puter and adjust em.

Be very careful not to touch anything but the pots, if u really want to be safe get a plastic screwdriver specially for adjusting pots for like 2 bux at Rad shack.

But that would be the L12 mod to make it default to 166fsb. I don't see any misunderstanding in that. I'm wondering on why you would also have to change the 8bit value... Never heard of anyone else mentioning having to do that if they can allready select low multipliers from their bios.
