AN50R V-Mod Results

[eshbach]

I have succesfully completed the vdimm mod (thanks to mikead_99 for a clip small enough to do it) and these are my first results on 3.0V:

245FSB 2-2-2-5.


time to start adding more voltage! but first, i must affix the resistor so it doesn't dangle freely in my case, heh.

3.0v? Hah! Get OCing! I want to see 3.5v AT LEAST flowing through those sticks!

heheh damn. 3.5vdimm isn't that alot? oh wellz.. OVERCLOCK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

daaamn, I thought I was doin good to hit 3200 in sandra. What kind of ram cooling do you need for 3.5? whew....

[icecube_of_death]

nothing but a normal case fan

The most important thing is a strong +3.3V PSU rail. I think xDUCK has modded his to give him more?

3.4v, cool to the touch, 266 1:1 2-2-2-5.



my goal is now 270 since that should let me do 270x9 for 3DMark (ran a test at 244x10 1:1 2-2-2-5 3.0v, 21.2k before nature, didn't bother finishing as that would only put me at about 24.3k max and i want more than that.)

Don't wanna worry you eshbach put I read on amdforums.com yesterday of a guy losing a stick of Mushkin Level II PC3500 while at 3.3 Vdimm. Maybe just unlucky I guess.

That's more like it!!

Btw (to adslegend) - the AN50R gets it's Vdimm from the 5v rail, so there's no 3.3v mod necessary.

Ahhh never knew that. Are there many other boards that do that?

Pfft I've put 3.8v through two sticks of Corsair and one of Kingston, they've all lived to tell the tale.

It's the only one, AFAIK. Could be wrong though, haven't done any research.

Hrm, I'm havin trouble right now with my 512 sticks of ram, the Shuttle doesn't like DS ram :|. Think I should splurge and get me a couple of 256s (so I'd be running a 512 and 2x256 for 1gb)? I refuse to use less then 1gb, as this is an everyday rig more then a benching rig.

Or should I try the HyperX 3200 non A 2x512?

(A sudden influx of cash has made me wanna spend more)

Esch you doin this with clips or did you solder it?

just get 1x256 for benching purposes... i'm using a clip and an end... the end is for ground and goes under a screw, the clip goes to the pin on the resistor. both the clip and the end are soldered to a wire that is soldered to the resistor.

Nice results! Glad to see that worked for you.
