8rda+ vdd mod: ground to pin4 or ... ?

[borchi]

i've done the vdd mod on my 8rda+ mb.

my question is what is better to use for ground, pin4 of the 3037 chip or something else. for the moment i'm using fan header ground as i thought it would save me from some soldering on the chip itself.

is that bad? why?

thanks!

Did the fan header ground work?

I was thinking of grounding mine to the mobo mount screw..

Practically any ground will do. I have mine connected to my case for very easy disconnect,

yeah use any ground in the case you want..

I would use pin 4. Why? Remeber that there are two ways to regulate power - by limiting the source or the ground. I wouldn't trust anything else to have the same ground strength as the pin.

the fan header did work, but now i'm using the pin4 with same results.

using the pin on the chip is best practice as then you have a common earth.

Allot of Vcore mods need you to use the chips earth pin not the case as noise on the earth can make things unstable.

I ended up using the fan header..My v.card was in the way for the grabber..
