Biostar TForce P965 Vdroop?

Hi guys;

I'm looking for the Vdroop mod of the Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe / PT...

VCore controller chip used on the board?

@Quentin: non pas encore; effectivement, le Vdroop est plus important

Please measure resistance between FB and IDROOP.
If I'm not mistaking, droop is regulated through a resistor and capacitor network between these pins, according to the datasheet.

Yes, I think so too.

So, add an variable resistor between FB and Idroop would solve this Vdroop issue.

Let's find easy access point linked to these FB and Idroop pins and fnd the good trimmer value thanks to the resistance there is between this 2 points.

I'll make a graph

Thx so much to both of you

I'll make the measure tomorrow.

So, I've measured FB to IDROOP diff and I always found 0.4ohm...

I've tried measuring directly from the controler, but also from external points.

Seems as if the idroop pin is directly connected to the fb pin. Looks as if it would be best to find the feedback resistors for each phase and change these. Will have a look at that soon.

OK, had a look. Please measure resistance between VDIFF (pin#16) and FB (pin#14).

Difference between FB and VDIFF is 2.12Kohm.

Try and connect a 100K trimmer potentiometer, set to maximum resistance, between FB and VDIFF. Trimming it down should decrease vdroop.

Edit: 50K should also work.

Ok;

based on the same pic; does that make sense? Guess I'm right, but I prefer to ask prior doing wrong things...

Looks good to me, but I don't own the board, so I can just judge from the pic. Now connect the VR between these solder points and hopefully vdroop will decrease when fine-tuning the resistance. At least according to the datasheet it should, as R(fb) needs to be decreased because [Vdroop = I(avg) x R(fb)].

Yea of course Thx so much for your input.

I'll do that ASAP.

I had a look at the datasheet, and indeed that should work

I'd rather use 50k trimmer :

First time I see the same solder point for both Vcore and Vdroop mods.

Before did u try it? No problems with both vcore&vdrop mod?

p.s. Does anybody know where are the readpoints for vmch&vcore?

Please post a pic of the socket area.

The Vdroop mod is working perfectly!

Thx both celemine1Gig & Quent for your help

I bet the red circled controller is the VDDRII one, and the yellow could be the Vmch one.
