Now my motherboard (sometimes) boot's at 135 (!!!!!). 130 is bios stable

. Mine original voltage was 3,8, the max now is 4,1. I think it really likes some more juice. Is there a way to attach the 5 volt line to it? Also, my 500 K6+ died today

. I hope you will mod Massman's 5AX sometime...

VCC3 is a common thing for socket 7 so it's not that abnormal you found the same voltage regulator: SuperSocket 7 revisited!

It's not chipset related. Yes you can probable feed the CPU directly from the 5V line, although I would not take that risk. Your game, not mine

You probable have to desolder the Vcpu coil, the one which reads the cpu voltage, and then solder a wire from your PSU onto the soldering island which is closest to the cpu, the one were the filtering caps are connected with. Open a thread and share your results, maybe some PI scaling numbers, some pictures of your modified board?

Thanks for the offer, one day that GTS will feel the cold, first job is to get a PCIe system running.

Want to lend my E8600 / DFI P45?

geoffrey · 24th November 2008, 22:38

Currently bidding for one so that I can take my time for it

Just picked up:

Blind's old MSI P35 Platinum and Intel E8600 ES (VID 1.1000v Q814A526)

Ow, you're back in the bench scene? :-P

If you ever need another motherboard, please let me know.
