VCore Voltage Mod

post #1 of 15

Thread Starter 
My secondary rig consists of an e3400 and a MSI G41M-P26.

I would like to increase the VCore voltage by 10% or so.

I'm guessing you want to vmod the board? One image doesn't load and the other is nowhere near high enough resolution.

I suspect the PWM controller is the IC circled in red below.

We would need a good photo of the surrounding area to be able to find a mod.

Thanks for the responses guys!

I should've probably cleaned the motherboard before taking these pictures... Opps! If you need me to read anything for you or if you want a close-up on something, feel free to ask!

edit: Imgur made the images have slightly less quality. Let me upload them somewhere.

FYI- would be just as easy to post the #'s off of the IC that Owl has marked in Red... this will explain more to us than the pic.

 

*I say this only 'cuz i still cant read them in the pics you posted..redface.gif

That was incredibly hard to read. I had to get my glasses, a flashlight, wet the IC with a tad bit of water, and put my eye literally 5 cm away from the chip.

I cant find any information on that particular IC.. it doesnt look promising. 

 

-Are you certain those are the correct #'s?

I read it again, and this is what I got. Is this the only potential chip that is responsible for the mod? Maybe I need to read another chip?

I think these are a different package # of another IC... 

 

Can you please measure resistance to ground on the 2x resistors I have marked on the pic below?
