Just draw over the resistors and a #2 pencil works just fine
Anyone have the same system as me:
Q6600 G0 with Tuniq Tower 120
eVGA 680i A1
2GB Crucial Ballistix PC8500
PC Power and Cooling Quad 750 SLI
Thermaltake Armor
If so, how are your overclocks?
I think most people have a EVGA 680i and a g0 Q6600 in this thread. =)
My clocks and temps are awesome... but i'll post better results after I do this vdroop mod (tonite)... >=) but prior to mod, I could do 3.8ghz, but at 1.500, which does a crazy vdroop to 1.41v and crashes. I can always do 1.6, i have watercooling, but I wanna do this mod and go from there..
i would be very happy if i were doing 3.8 on 1.5 volts...

ive got 3.5ghz with 1.47 volts out of my B3 and im quit happy for the time being, intill my next upgrade in the fall, when 45nm quads come out.
Why can't you? Temps? You have the same chip as me? There's an FSB hole, jump over it? I had problems from 3.28ghz to 3.5ghz, but anything after that was smooth as silk.
well I couldn't be happier with 3.6 Ghz with 1.38v idle, 1.40v load. and im not done testing yet, I might be able to get it even lower.
i nominate this mod of the year.

Are there any negative side effects from doing this pencil mod ?
Nope
I'm with u man, so easy and so usefull
omg... I just did the mod. It is FRIGGING AWESOME..
Anyway to give mad props to the author? good god it's awesome.
Here are some screen caps, not really pushing the board. Just wanted to see the mod in action...
Before the mod, idle cpu (note the BIOS set vcore is 1.3625v, actual is 1.33v)

Before the mod, load cpu (note the BIOS set vcore is 1.3625v, actual is 1.29v)

After the mod, idle cpu (note the BIOS set vcore is 1.3625v, actual is 1.34v)

After the mod, load cpu (note the BIOS set vcore is 1.3625v, actual is 1.36v)

hmmm...good question...wish i knew the answer....i can get 3.6, and have booted up at 3.8.....my problem is stability. i am wc'ed on cpu and nb, so temps are ok~decent.
i really need to up the volts to (cpu) 1.5 or above (in bios), to get things semi-stable, but i fail p95 or lock up, or i core craps out...so for now, i am at 3.2.
i will try the pencil mod, and see if this help on the oc...to those that did the pencil mod, did it help you oc? or get you a higher/stable oc?

Treatmentx, you're missing loadafter screencap,you have 2 idleafters.I'm just curious about the voltage value.
Core i5 2500K @ 4,5 Ghz, Megahalems
Asrock P67 Extreme4 (B3)
Corsair CMX8GX3M2A2000C9
Zotac GTX580
Corsair Force 120 GB SSD
Alienware AW2310 120hz
Coolermaster HAF 932; Corsair TX 950 W
Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
Sorry about that, corrected in original post
Question
How/what do you guys use to monitor northbridge temps?
Spontaneous reboots, is probably from overheating the NB, anything else I'm missing? can overheated memory do the same? I know overheating CPU will just give you errors on Ortho/Prime before it actually crashes.
Also, can people share their BIOS settings.

Bought a G0 chip today and it appears that my motherboard is limiting me to 375 fsb. Tried all multis and the suggested voltages here but the board will not post over 1500 QDP - posts error code 19 or 1A but usually 19. The cpu is stable as a rock at 375mhz but at 376 it wont even post
Tried jumping the FSB wall but it appears there aint one as its the same no matter what fsb I input greater than 1500.
Chipset is 570 btw - any ideas?
Looks like its gonna be a long wait until x38

Yup - thought that the new revision had sorted clocking quads
Had similar issues with my old QX but that could be sorted by using the unlocked upward multi - sadly with this quad I'm stuck at a max x9.
There's a hole you're stuck at, I was at that hole for a while too. It seems weird, but you gotta jump above 1550, try 1560 with appropriate voltages.Yup - thought that the new revision had sorted clocking quads

This has to do with some kind of fsb strapping, was discussed in a thread... long story short, there's some weird holes around 350-375. Just skip over it!
Im guessing you probably tried, but when I hit that hole I found that 400x8(9) worked fine. also try P30 bios if you havent yet.Bought a G0 chip today and it appears that my motherboard is limiting me to 375 fsb.

there is a strange bug that was preventing me from posting with a 7 or 6 multi on 400+ fsb unless I had my vcore set inappropriately high..
I like the voltage mod a lot, combined with higher motherboard voltages it's allowed me to run stable 425x8 3400mhz 1.45v for a few days now.

Can you elaborate on the voltage mod, what does it do exactly? I did the vdroop mod, love it.Im guessing you probably tried, but when I hit that hole I found that 400x8(9) worked fine. also try P30 bios if you havent yet.

I've built 8 EVGA/Quad systems since G0 came out. All the boards performed pretty much the same as far as holes (or lack of holes) You just have a bad board or not so good quad. RMA the board if you can. EVGA has the best RMA service around. These boards work good with the G0's. Don't give up yet.

woops, I meant the vdroop mod.

yup, ive had many boards, they all performed the same, or very close to one another, you most likely have a really bad board, or a bad cpu, try it on another board or RMA your board....good luck

Sounds like you got a board like the one I have!
SuperMicro X8SAX
Xeon 5620
12GB - Crucial ECC DDR3 1333
Intel 520 180GB Cherryville
Areca 1231ML ~ 2~ 250GB Seagate ES.2 ~ Raid 0 ~ 4~ Hitachi 5K3000 2TB ~ Raid 6 ~
Tried :
FSB 376 - error 19
FSB 400 - error 19
FSB 425 - error 19
FSB 450 - error 19
with 7,8 & 9 multis (HT & CPU) and all manner of votage variations and still no joy.
I am currently on P30 but have also tried P28 (gives a 66mhzx9 at stock lol).
I'm pretty sure it aint the chip as its 100% stable @ 375x9 but just refuses to boot anything above that even if I drop the multi.
How can I RMA a board that isn't faulty - works fine @ stock speeds and a slight overclock and clocked my c2d's upto 4ghz? IT just dosn't want to play with this quad nor my old QX (had the same FSB wall with that too). Will they accept RMA due to poor Quad overclocking?
