DS3 resistor mod, for D9 ram

[Shelnutt2]

Hey guys,

I'm working on an article for overclockers.com and its to bring some light to the DS3 and D9 issue. I've read several post here and over at anandtech that the issue comes right down to a resistor on the board, unfortunately I have yet to see a post were someone has actually said what resistor it is. All the post I've read are people saying they've done the mod and will post shortly but never post. So any help anyone has is appreciated.

Thanks!

I believe the DS3 rev 1.0 has the issue but the DS3 rev 2.0 does not. I'm not sure what the resistor was. This is as much info as I could find: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1833336&postcount=2565

I'm running a rev 2.0. The RAM I have (Patriot) was D9 half the time but I didn't bother to check. I'm not having any problems at stock with it though, D9 or not. The only thing is, it uses the SPD timings@500MHz (according to CPU-Z) for 400 MHz operation, so timings are detected high by default. I have not tried lowering them to SPD@400 MHz yet.
