Hi everyone,
I have done some searching and all the mods I have found on the internet has been really hard. So I have come forward to ask for help here, to perhaps can find some one who can more simplified the modding process for me.
I have both of these boards. I am using the AI7 and the IC7-G is on the way from a trade. Both of these boards are well known for voltage droops.
My experience from the AI7:
The Vcore it varies from 1.525-1.44V on load. If I set the voltage higher then it varies even more.
As the Vdimm, I am using OCZ RAM kits which love voltage but the the voltage drops so great that my system will just restart at any time.
This voltage drops only occurs when overclock which bring about the highest varies in drops.
I had the P4C 3.4Ghz which I can only go as high as 3.6Ghz, it was a 30 caps. I sold it and the new own got it to 3.8Ghz default voltage. His board was the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe with the voltage mod.
Now I have the 2.4Ghz M0 stepping, 30 caps, which I know can go as high as 3.3Ghz on default voltage. I can only go up to 3Ghz, 250FSB.
I want to try the OCZ RAM booster but it says I need to mod the VTT. I have read on how to do it and it's confusing, at least to me. What exactly do you remove and solder on?
Thanks for your help guys. I don't mind buying a specialize soldering tool. I just have the standard soldering stick.
