Sweet...I had been looking for some vcore mods and saw that one, but was a little skeptical because of the lack of instructions. But if you do that be sure to let us know how it goes and definetley take pictures.

It works shamino says it does..

lol

well considering some of the projects that guy has done and documented quiet well i tend to atleast mostly trust a modd when he says itll work

and as soon as i do it ill let ya all know, but i dont know how to take close ups very well with my camera (ill take a look in the manual tonight) but ill give it a shot

MADMAX22

ok it works aewsome!!!!!! first of all i tried to take some pics o fthe work but i could really only do the finished portion and my camera is really sucky at close ups

anyways i bought a 10k adj pot at radio shack ($2.50) and took some wire from an old fan connector then i followed the instructions here http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=41735

very very scetchy considering i dont do much soldering (ive been practicing on an old asus p4pe that i broke ) but it all worked out in the end (thank god)

first of all i connected the wires to the pot and soldered them on then put some shrink wrap on there, next i got the end that i was going to be attaching to the mobo ready by stripping it and applying a small amount of solder to the wire

then i opened up my case and did the dirty and attached it to the point in the diagram

next i attached the ground to a coaster screw that s on my case (any ground will work)

next i made sure that the pot was turned alll the way down (most resistance) and previously i had set the vcore in bios to 1.40v

fired it up and it worked great, at the lowest setting it was .5vcore higher then that set it bios
bios=1.4v
actual=1.45
bios=1.35v
actual1.4v

great for a slight adjustment, then i went in to hardware monitor in bios and manually adjusted the pot and it went up to >1.8vcore (thats where i stopped because it turned red in bios screen) i think that it wont post after 1.85 but thats way more then i need now and way more then i could use with water (probably)

so then i adjusted the pot so that it read 1.65v at 1.4v in bios and then basically i could use the bios as a fine tuner
1.4v bios
1.65v actual

1.4125v bios
1.66v actual

1.425v bios
1.71v actual

ok for some reason i cant upload pics so those will come shortly

Nice job ,might have to have a go at that one myself

MADMAX22

thanks, also the deviation that ive noticed was bios= +/- .02v and all of my windows based measurements= -.01/+.03v

MADMAX22

ok hers some pics and yeah i know its all getto right now but its in developement

oh yeah and i was able to get my opti170 to post at 2.9ghz

gotta mess with all my settings all over agian to see what i can do now

(this board oc's so much better then my a8vdeluxe)

Had my opty posting to 2950mhz this afternoon with only 5.1v so with abit of extra voltage may come in useful. Temps kept quite steady @ 29 idle and 35 load so i have still got some room but i have come to the wall of my ram.It wasnt stable but with better ram and a slightly higher v-core 3-3.1 should be attainable

MADMAX22

lol i hope you mean 1.5vcore (ahahahaha) 5.1 that would be a major cooling solution you got there

yeah thats the same thing i ran into, at 1.65vcore i was stable on my old board at 2740mhz

but when i upgraded i only had 1.5vcore but i still made it to 2680 stable and i couldnt post past 2750 9which was way better then my old board but i just needed the extra vcore

i aint run any test yet but just posting at 2850 much less running any programs with 1.68vcore when compared to 2750 at 1.65vcore with my old mobo (thats not bad)
