This couldn't be because OCCT is using all of your CPU cycles could it. Try running OCCT, right click it in Windows task manager and change it's priority to lowest.

Nope. It still locks up on me. I'm so confused.

Anyone know of a spot where you can read the vdimm voltage?

Some has a pic of the surface mount resister on here, Just put your positive on the one side of it and you negative on any of the mounting holes. I would find it for you but I don't have a few minutes right now. It does work, I've tried it, I've actually found that the DMM measurement was more steady than UGuru's reading

vdimm not vcore, sorry you wasted your time finding it. Which reminds me, I did the vdroop mod again. Vdroop is now LESS THAN .001! Sweet I can run 3.2ghz on 1.3v(bios) 1.291 IDLE 1.291 LOAD.

NICE

I just finished soldering my Vdroop mod (both difficult and nerve-racking even with a new fine tip needlepoint and a large sight lens) and unfortuantely the resistance part of my DMM is phucked. However, Whatever the screw turn is at it is showing a vdroop of between 0.009 and no more than 0.01

1.439 at idle
1.449 at load

Does this seem right?

(alik, I have no idea how you managed to pull the mod off with that junk gun you have, you must have hands with robot-like precision)

[Alik4041]

Seems good. You should get a new DMM and fine tune your vdroop. Set the vcore to your desire. Then check the vcore at idle with a DMM. Run P95 and check the load voltage with the DMM. Attempt to change the voltage to match or come close to the idle voltage by turning the VR. Takes more than one try to get it really on the dot.

BTW, not only did I do that mod once, but after I ripped it off cause I thought my motherboard went bad, I DID IT AGAIN! Junk Gun FTW! Oh and here's my secret...

Laughing Well after seeing that!

hey that doesnt seem to bad, i tested my vdimm last night with my dmm. I feel special! Once i have some time, and procure a 20watt iron, iam going to probably try the mod.

shakey hands are bad

[strange|ife]

Here are the pictures. Just thinking about how hard it was to get the job done with that solder iron tip and 2.4mm solder make me want to scream! BAH!
I used an IDE wire for the mod. It looked much cleaner but I guess it didn't work .

Your iron tip looks like it went through hell and back!

did u order the solder online? i went to frys and cant find silver bearing solder at all, all they stock is rosin core.

nothing under 4mm either=[ Ohwell gonna have to plan this one out

[alpha0ne]

^ Please try to edit out the images when you quote a post, it only takes a few seconds ^

[Alik4041]

I bough it from Sears a year ago for 10 bucks. I'm melted plastic, glue, CDs, DVDs, pretty much had a lot of fun with it. So I ended up with that lol. The picture of the iron is after I sanded it down last Monday. i was trying to get a fine tip. i can't believe after a couple hours use it turned into that again lol. I'm fine with it Itz all Skillz I'll be hot roding my x-fi card with this. We'll see how that goes. i plan on replacing ALL the op amps and the CAP with that iron

any body know about new version Uguru ?? I hope we can set FSB higher FSB 600 from windows...

[Kersh]

sorry for my bad english

I have this board from 2 weeks ago, and all works perfect, today I reboot, and change 3 values of the MB

I upload ONLY one point more than default on

CPU VTT
ICHIO
ICH

inmediatly superior option, no more.

After that, I save the bios and reboot, but the computer dont work anymore, I receive C1 error and all the fans are at max capacity always

I try to:

Reset bios with jumper
try all of my 4 modules of ram, 1 on 1 and 2 on 2 on all combinations
turn off the sai, then the power suply havent go energy, and then click on "on button" of the mb to leave the capacitors out of energy, I Dismantled all the computer and ensambled again, reset again the bios, get out the bios battery and wait 3 hours, Then I try again and nothing. C1 error.

Whats the problem?

thanks

I have done the vdroop mod today also. How is the best way to get vcore rock solid. When i try to adjust the droop my vcore just going up a bit.

That's what its supposed to do, set the voltage in bios, connect the multimeter (my uguru values are -0.02v from actual). Load the cores, and wind the vr down in resistance and stop when the voltage rises to meet the bios set value. Take it off load and see how much it changes, mine only moves 0.005v

Got my IP35 Pro.

No POST. Halts at C1 error code (memory detect error).
Using TeamGroup DDR2-667 (TXDD2048M667HC3DC-M) that is D9GMH rated for 3-3-3-8. The sticks do work on a Gigabyte i965P board - although with some coldboot issues.

[Heidfirst]

Try with only 1 DIMM installed, if it POSTS go into BIOS & set the Vdimm to the manufacturer's recommended voltage for it's rated speed.

Iirc the earlier BIOS didn't support CAS3.

Hmmm....running same memory on my rig and never had a problem. As Heidfirst said, try one stick (preferably slot 4) and see if it boots. If that doesn't work do a good Cmos clear.

Usually the SPD on these sticks is set loose to allow booting at 1.8vdimm ,mine are
8-3-3-3 @200
11-4-4-4@266
13-5-5-5@333
Maybe yours have a different SPD programming?

I'm not getting any resistance reading on my mod. I'm wondering if I'm taking the reading from the wrong place or the resistor is bad (although I have no vdroop, actually it goes up 0.008 to 0.010 from idle). I just bought a replacement DMM today too. I get no reading even at 2000 Ohm. I took both reading from the vcore measure are and then tried the actual resistors the wires were soldered to. Nothing. Nothing happends or changes when I rotate the resistor either, even 6 or 7 turns.

90 pages is a lot to read. Can someone just tell me if I'd be gtg with the ip35pro and a q6600 go if I wanted to run my system 24/7 at 400x9 = 3.6ghz? Cooling with a xp90c and a lot of cfm.

Yea your good. Thats what I run exactly. 3.6 24/7 with c1e and eist enabled to kick down the volts when im away. I am prime stable and under 60c on load.

once you solder the VR to the appropriate points, you will not get an accurrate resistance reading...you should have set the resistance before doing the solder job...you can try checking with power off at the terminals at the base of the VR to see if it gives you an approximate resistance reading.

if you are trying to read vcore from the solder points..DON'T!..it doesn't work that way.

if you are getting no or literally no vdroop or vdrop, i would say that the vr is working.

[pcdrive]

Hi to everyone here, I plan on buying this to run a Q6600 but I've read a review over at xbitlab and they noticed a problem when unexpectedly restarting the machine the board doesn't remember speed setting of the fans. could anyone verify if this is correct? not a major problem but I would think it an annoyance.

[EJTREM3]

The I gave of today recibed my motherboard, but is a total disaster, to begin can't bot with my burner ide, before but al while trying to remove the drivers old of the motherboard previous I join itself, resume it and try again and the same thing. before I join itself myself and me not the the screen removed of bot,, and removed an error 8.4, trying with other memories, clean the cmos, remove the battery, remove all and it again to arm all, and the same thing.

Sincerely the boards abit I think that they are a total disaster and never in my life I buy again something of this mark.
