Vmod for A7N8X.

Here are some shots of me turning up the V on my northbridge, I now have from 1.75V to 1.92V from the wimpy stock 1.6V. I currently run at 1.85 to be safe and stable. Helped stability a HUGE amount of high fsb. I can now cruise into the 200mhz+ fsb range with ease and no issues. Have found some interesting things though like when you go up that high it is not really worth it for you have to turn your ram timings down slightly useing 3 sticks so it cancels the performance gain out. Now just need a insane chip to get my fix hehehe :) mabey a barton..?? :confused:

Some more pics.... This was in fact very easy to do if your even a little skilled :nod: all I did was position the resistor into the contact point, hot glued it in place so if I have a prob I can pull it our without a trace! Once it was all in place I used a toothpick to place silver laquer from the contact point onto the resistor wire to insure an perfect contact. Cleaned up the wireing a little for it is hard to do in a situation like this and poof! I now can dial in my voltage with ease :)

[eviltechie]

you should write a guide for that!

hmm how to do a vdd mod for epox?

[accurateimage]

I found the guide on overclockers.coms forums, it was dead accurate and even though I am no electronics wiz I was able to do it with some caution and ease :) I would reccomend it to anyone that cna solder two wires together or build a working pc *L*

[eviltechie]

because the northbridge chip gets so hot afterwards,

this is what this crazy dood did

cooling freak!

Will the 2800 and/or 3000 bartons allow you to lower the multiplier settings to get insane FSB settings?

[accurateimage]

Yep just like all the tbred chips :) That is why I am loking at a 2800+... barton hehe.

[Literatii]

Could you please post what Corsair you have?

[CiKoTiC]

Same as mine, Corsair XMS 3500C2. Awsome shiz... 8)

[eviltechie]

really
i thought AI has PC3200 for the moment
and thinking of PC3500 but not yet

[accurateimage]

pc3500 corsair dood :) nothing but!!!

[eviltechie]

AI, did you solder the wire onto the board's resistor or did you heatglue it

how did u get the wire to stay and completely touch the resistor while glueing if you are glueing

[accurateimage]

heat glued it and when it was in place used silver laquer to make sure the connection was good between the two, when it was I then hot glued over the connection to make sure it would be held in place :)

[eviltechie]

so does the silver laquer stick the wire a tad to the board?

im still trying to find the best guide for my 8RDA+
although im still trying to solve a mistery of my cpu's heating

does not really stick it, just forms a connection. secret is to put it into a puddle on somthing like a floppy disk, wait until it is a little gooey, then use a paper clip or needed to goop it into the resistor and other one. Let it dry all the way and you have a solid connection :)
