P6T WS Pro - Need More ICH voltage? - Page 2

No worries mate, im just recovering my backups , it has about 8 hours to go.

I'll take the board out and get some goods pics once i run though and find the right voltage. If i don't get it done tomorrow, i'll definitely get stuck into the next day, just unsure how the recovery will go since i lost my recovery software in the backup. New software is looking good at recovering and promising

Had to edit mate, my cheap multi meter is giving me a hard time. Brother in law will be up by Wednesday or Thursday with his Fluke. Snould be right then

Thanks a heap

@ wumpus
Thanks a heap for the info mate, i already did a little on ram, i'll tackle the other suggestions of yours

Hi mate

Finally got spare time to tackle this, last time i could not reach a couple of the Mofsets.

I had it set in the bios ICH @ 1.4V


I made sure mothing else in the bios was near 1.4v. The attached excel file has the voltages for the pic, The closet voltage there was 1.16v, any suggestions what to do? I tested 2 hidden ones from the pic and high lighted them above, those 2 i tested as well


I need this volt mod for this mobo, it is thirsty on ICH, my Rampage III Extreme does not need any voltage on ICH to hit 5 ghz on i7 950. Maybe the P6T series might be little like the Commandos? Cause the settings i used on the R3E are with tuned ram settings, and same with P6T i cant go anywhere with it, i cant drop ICH from 1.4v to 1.3

Sorry for the long delay, i just needed things sorted out and the free time to tackle this full on

Yes i know what your saying, but that motherboard volts on ich cant be dropped from its max volts at 1.4(BSOD if it gets dropped, so im on its limit and need more volts), how on earth am i going to go with a higher oc on ln2? Max i have hit is 4.9ghz(1.4v ICH), there is no way i can see possible to ever reach that with air cooling and ambient @ 20c on P6T WS Pro on a i7-950 without having 1.4v

Im no pro, but do have the record for air cooling on the i7-950 thats on the R3E, i know one thing and that cant be achieved by being a noob. On the R3E it does not need the volt increase on ICH at all to reach the below

Plus i would love to learn how to volt mod, i need to start somewhere, and hope maybe this might be the first volt mod if i can learn it. No disrespect to you and wumpus, i know wumpus is a pro at oc'ing, and maybe he could do it without the volts, but the mobo makes me beleive it cant be done ever. Only one way to find out is mod it, go hard as i can again for the forth time without ICH and then go hard with ICH

Hi mate

I have never volt modded before and am only self taught to use the multimeter. I thought where i measured was the Mofsets, so i got that wrong and know they are now IC's what you have above. Are these the Mofsets in below pic? The 1R0(marked red square) or the one below that, i can only guess, i dont know where they are besides the ones right up the top of the mobo under the heatsinks(that is if they are Mofsets)



Hi Res for reference, not real good of a picture but the best i have got so far, saving it then zooming in its really good

Hi Mate

Thanks a million for the info.

I wont hit the same as the R3E as like you mentioned there is no QPI "slow mode". A question: Did you get a bios chip off the net for the "P6X58D Premium BIOS" or you flashed it with that "P6X58D Premium BIOS"? I got the latest on it 1205 atm and no slow mode , but maybe your bios fix of the "P6X58D Premium BIOS" will get me there

Not the best below, i have not saved them cause it has to beat the R3E, and we starting to hit summer with average day around 28-29c on "air cooling" now, old result below. The newer settings i have are with tighter timings(almost identical to the R3E but at BLCK 216 x23, and same ram timings as R3E) unlike below CPU-Z

Not same chip P6X58D-E, but supports "slow mode" P6X58D-E,MAXIMUS II FORMULA, M4N98TD EVO

I'll still go ahead volt moding it mate, i love to learn how to do this and one day try solo at it if i ever get there. Until you mentioned the "P6X58D Premium BIOS" i was thinking the only way around this would be ln2 the NB and SB, and that would give me some leeway, but cant wait for some info on the "P6X58D Premium BIOS" info. Only using a couple of really old 20gb raid hard drives with the bearings on the way out on mobo and nothing special at all, only the mobo and cpu as being the real value risked. Not that i want to loose it either

Thanks mate.

I have my young fella with me for the next week, so im struggling to get time, but don't worry once i find the time i'll post back right away
