Gigabyte DS3 Vdroop mod

[cursivearmy1]

So which mods can I do on my new GA-965P-DS3 Rev. 3.3 ? ?

[Stapler]

I've spent an hour measuring things on the board, and I just can't seem to find a VCore read point for the rev. 3.3. Does anyone have a pic of where it is?

Edit: Btw, does anyone else have issues with the board freezing in windows with 1.6v or higher set for vcore? I've got this issue with two CPUs, so I'm certain it's the board.

The 1.6v+ issue, I've had with a rev2 board as well. I ended up settling with the highest 1.59v setting

same here, we're using DS3P and it wont boot over 1,6v

what does this mod do??

With it you can lower your Vdroop. Vdroop is the drop between Vcore idle and Vcore stressed.

are there new results about the mod?

Yes! Thats a problem for me. Anyone notice that the vcore sellecte in bios is far diff than vcore in speedfan (at idle)?

hi, i think its named undervolting. the vdroop is a reduce of some more voltage.

i think, that there is no problem with the board to boot above 1,6 vcore, because i did a stabil boot at 1,8v (cpu:e4300; you need a nice cooling). on the other hand i was not able to boot above 1,5125v with my old d805 and the same komponents.(I have a ds3 rev 3.3, no ds3p, 2gb ddr2 kit mdt)

Well My chip has had 1.7 before in another machine. just this one freezes when I up it in Easytune, and has problems with the keyboard when done to 1.59-1.6 in bios.

oh sry, i understood it in the wrong way..

is it a usb keyboard? i heard it have not 100% overclockingfunction if there is a mouse in the usb port, maybe keyboards make similar problems..

No! Its a normal PS2 one. See it works in BIOS then when I continue into windows, it will not show up characters when i press keys, CTRL key doesn't work in BIOS. maybe the keyboard needs more cooling!

[largon]

Does somebody knows where the Vcore readpoint is?

vCore can be measured from the inner leg of any of the numerous vCore inductors around the socket, this applies to every single motherboard. CPU mosfet drain (the "metal plate") works too, drain voltage might be itsy bitsy higher than real though.

^^ i think so

I've looked everywhere and haven't been able to find a vdimm mod for this board either. I have an S3 rev1 C1.

That would make my day...

I have the vdimm mod if you still need it for the S3 rev1 c1. Also have the vmch mod.

Ziddey - that vdroop mod doesn't work properly.

[ziddey]

what do you mean it doesn't work properly? I don't have my old rev1 board anymore but it was just dandy for me?!

[RejZoR]

Hm, is there really no one that knows DS3 Rev3.3 vdroop points?

[ziddey]

Get good pictures of the area and post on vr-zone asking for shamino's assistance. I'm sure he could help

[RejZoR]

Rev1.0 vdroop mod...


Rev3.3 layout...


The layout is from S3, but i've checked it against my DS3 and it matches perfectly. Do i really have to register on VR-Zone too to get this thing running? ...

[ziddey]

to get it running? from the looks of your sig, it looks like it is running. as for vdroop mod, goto vrzone.

[RejZoR]

You call 3,3GHz running? :P I'm hesitating registration on VR-Zone because i'm already registered on like 35 forums... (ouch)

[ziddey]

i call 3.3ghz an 83% overclock.

[RejZoR]

My goal is 3,6GHz :P
