5v line mod... need a how-to

[eobard]

Can anyone give me a link, or actual info on how to mod my ps to up my 5v line? I've got a cyberzone KC-300 ps and my 5v usually is either 4.835 or 4.813. When it drops to the 4.7XX range, which it does, my system hangs for a moment or crashes. This only started since I volt modded my motherboard but I don't want to de-mod my board unless I have to. When the 5v is strong my system is perfectly stable running 800mhz@1150mhz@2.06v. There are no tunable resistors in the ps.

You will have to buy a stronger PS. The switching regulators in most PS are fixed voltage. Apparently something in your PS is weak as there should be plenty of current capacity in that regulator to run most Athlons, even modded and still keep the voltage within the 5% spec.

This wouldn't be much help at all, but IIRC, the Antec PSU'a are the only ones i've heard that has a 5v/12v trim pot. Also, it might not be a bad idea to just get a nice AMD approved ps (not sure if cyberzone is on their list).
