![]() It shouldn't be that critical though. The idea is just to break the connection to the resistor. I still advise against cutting the pin directly.

Over 8 hours since last reboot at 1.975v.... EDIT: Before anybody asks... intended reboot not a shutdown.

The thing is one guy already shielded his diode on the anode side and it still shut down. I think it's the vcore VRM sensing something wrong. It may be a bios fix if the auto shut down is not really disabled when set so or it's not calibrated in code correctly.

Yeah, this is strange. Been running 2.2V for almost all night long at stock speeds. Haven't tried 159x11,5 yet (which I know works 100% stable). And I believe my temps are fine, quite high for TEC cooling but anyway thats because I'm not cooling the water enough.

There can be two reasons (at least) it doesn't shutdown at stock speeds running 2.2v.... Less heat is the first. But assuming heat is under control, you are using much less power (power = current x voltage) at stock speeds. If you leave the voltage the same, but increase the CPU speed, your current and power will quickly climb. That's what eventually led me to start looking at the overcurrent protection. Bondo, that was me that tried the wire insulation on the CPU pin. It was something I tried earlier in the thread before I tried this mod.

Well, I find it hard to be a temp issue. Now running 159x11,5 and 2,0V and my temp is just as high as when it shuted down before only this time it doesn't. I haven't done anything but installing a few fans blowing on the voltage regulator.

If possible, you may want to RMA your board. If you get a new one back with the same problem and you really want to stick with the 8RDA, the mod is always a choice again later.

i doubt you'll break the mobo anyway by trying his mod... i did it to mine and had no negative or positive effects.... im gonna try to rma mine anyways...

Guess what? My friend just set up his system and he has the SAME problem. Anything over 1.90v and it just shuts down. I wonder if all the Vcore VRM's are in the same place? Where is yours located?

It's a 36 pin chip next to the MOSFETS, just behind the PS/2 connectors. The part number on the top is IRU3055. Tell him to RMA the board before trying this. He might get a good board.

ET & Holst, This is how much we like this board, we want to keep it and make it work even with this problem. In that regard, this board really deserves a thumbs up. ![]() We all know that cutting traces on a new board is not the answer though. This is an opportunity for Epox to step up and really address the problem and make a good lasting impression in the minds of overclockers. A good opportunity to build brand loyalty. We are your customers, what benefits us, benefits you. We would really appreciate whatever you can do to remedy this situation.

right in front of all those little resistors right?
