Can anyone confirm please regarding jonny's Vdroop mod the ohms resistance of ~620~650ohms

Is that value set before soldering to the board (so ~ 635ohms set before you fit to the board) or is the variable resister set at ~ 635ohms once connected to the two points on the board


thanks for any help given

i set mine to around above 700 and then turned it down slowly.

i watched voltage in bios and watched it go up as i started reaching the 680 range...

you can set it to 635ish and then just tweak it from there. but the range is right.

I need to know if you set the variable resister to 700 BEFORE the two wires are soldered to the board or did you set the resister to 700 AFTER the two wires are soldered to the board

Thanks........

it doesn't matter.

if you have a 1K VR then set it to 1K and then tweak it down... you won't know what resistance your set to but you will see your voltage go up in the bios.

i set to around 700 before i soldered it on so that I'd know that i didn't have to turn it too much before I was in the range I needed.

What made my mod a little more difficult was that i was using a 10K VR since I didn't have a 1K VR. Else I would have set it to 1K and just tweaked it down.

If you have droop at idle, you will notice your voltage go up as you push the resistance down.

Always do it before. For my mod I ended up having to lower my resistance a boatload before my voltage went were I wanted it. I'll post pictures of my mods later

Look forward to it

you can do it either way....but if you have a 10K variable resistor then it behooves to preset to around 700 ohms before doing the soldering.
