You should have no problems doing 400fsb on that board, newer asrock boards are actually good overclockers which couldn't be said about the old ones. So its unlikely you'll need the mod.

This thread seems to be quite popular as well as helpful.

Sticky pending with a few positive responses to do so.

That's an FSB mod, not VID. I was looking to increase voltages to like 1.4 or so.

Sorry jap, joe is a friend i know in another forum.

Anywho.....your right i geuss 4.88 is a good oc ,HOWEVER I have found some pretty disturbing things on my motherboard(EVGA780i SLI) so I am going to get the pics together in paint and I would like to discuss them here on the forums.
Is it ok if I do that?

Also I did look into the fact that it may not be the same pads to mod on a E8400,you are very right indeed and I did the mod again.
It worked........
A little strange though considering that the mod on the 45nm procs calls for a single piece of electrical tape,using it to simply cover the BSEL1 and BSEL2 witch seems weird but it worked like a charm.Not only did it work it works also by connecting BSEL1 with the next pin up witch is the first VCC. sadly I realized my motherboard will only support 1333.If i want to go any higher I have to change it in the BIOS.
The real funny thing is that the boards people buy always have a certain rateing on the FSB the board itself is a little more compatable......sound strange?
Well when i put the modded E8400 back into the socket and booted up with the defaults loaded my new FSB was not 1600,nor was it 1333,...it was 1431.7?!?!?!?!? lol well i guess it supported as much of the new FSB as it possibly could and WAS NOT stable.
I have had 4 other Nvidia boards in the past but this one has failed to impress me,considering the sloppy job they have done throwing it together.
like I said i'll post some pics here in a few minz and you will also see my pain and moreso.......my disapointment

Thanks for the greeting to the forums and I look forward to getting to the bottom of things.

P.S. How do i edit my profile so I can post my rig and such?

Than in advance Shane

Just attempted the BSEL mod for the first time today on my E2180. It worked like a charm and runs at 2.6Ghz.

The only problem though is I'm having a hard time keeping the CPU cool, when I checked CPU temp after 40 minutes the idle temp was 71 degrees Celsius! I can't seem to find an option in the bios (Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2) for turning up the power to my heatsink. Can anybody help me out?

OlliiillO

Yea man everyone has problems specifically with that motherboard and this mod lol. go get an ASUS or an Intel board.NOT EVGA!

The newer evga boards dont work with the mod unless its the 790i then u have to spend a small fortune on DDR3........

hope this helps somewhat...on another note try to bring up the voltage on your fsb or on the processor,sometimes you can undervolt and cause overheating.or just stick a dryer hose on an A/C unit and shove it to your motherboard......like I did lmao

And by ASUS I mean like a p5n-dlx or something that will support a solid 1333 or 1600 fsb,just to be sure it will hold up.

Also I'm going to assume that the rig info is incorrect considering u did it with an Exxxx Intel model processor,so what are ur system specs? Maybe if we all had a look at those we could make a better judgment of what you could to to better your issues....Hopefully you didnt think this mod would work with an AMD chip.....Good luck !

Ah sorry, if the default voltage for your E6600 is 1.325 (same as default E21xx etc) the VID mods on the front page will work fine.

Make sure your heatsink is correctly seated and make sure you havn't used too much or too little thermal paste. Those temps seem very high, if you can't bring them down you may have to invest in a better cooler.



OlliillO, add your specs here.

It is very strange whats happening with that board, maybe it doesn't like to be modded

The VID is 1.350 so I dunnno. I looked on Google but couldn't find anything specific to the E6600.

Oh and +1 for sticky.
