Volt Mod

[Epicurus]

Does anyone know where there is a good site that shows how you to volt mod a MB. more to the point a Shuttle AN50R MB

Cheers

Also I am come to the conclusion that my PSU is crap. I upped the volts on the mem to 2.8 and my PC powered off. Does this sound like a naff PSU???

yep it sort of points the finger.

Get yourself a PC Power & Cooling 510 Turbo Deluxe.

if I've got the Turbo blah blah does that mean I can just tweak a pot to 'do a volt mod' or is there more too it than that?

Is there anyone thats done a volt mod. If so can you tell us what stuff you used, where you got it. Like wire, is there any special kind, size of soldering iron bit.. etc

I would also imagine that you would need a meter to read the amount of vots that you are using and where would you go to test this???

Cheers

so do you need to volt mod or not if youve got the Turbo 510 deluxe

The better power supply will help keep the system stable by providing more power.

If you want to change the voltage to parts like increasing the vdimm over whats selectable in the bios then you will have to volt mod the motherboard.

I think that I will start off with getting a better PSU. I dont think that I can afford £190 for one, so will have to look for one a little bit cheaper

Also does anyone know how to turn 2 PSU's on from the same switch???

Cheers

i got someone waiting for his an50R to get volt modded.

u will need 2 10K pots for the Vcore mod.

I can do the mod but adjusting will be a pain cos first of all i got no amd heatsink so i am still looking at it.

Some have killed their chips due to the spikes from the VRs,

get a low wattage soldering iron, i bought a 12W one myself

Done this mod twice now... but the vDimm only....vCore isn't really needed in my case, plus 2 close to the Prommie mounting kit for my liking... vDimm took bout 20mins in all and I'm using 2x 1k resistors... memory presently at 3.5v 24/7

have you got the +3 modded then?

have you got the +3 modded then?

I think the AN50R uses the +5v for the dimm slots,divided by 1/2.
