Just did the vdimm mod, how far is to far ?

[CandymanCan]

Ok i just did a scary solder job using a fat tiped soldering iron man it was hard, and it kinda tore the Trace off the board, but it works still thank god. Before idid the vdimm mod i set the vdimm voltage to 2.5v in the bios, now i have 2.84 when i booted up.

I set it to 2.6v in the bios i now have 2.94v, So how far is to far for the cpu? My memory can handle 3.3v fine prob more. But im worried about going to far for the cpu.

I dont have A64 system,but friend of mine was using 3.6V on memory 24/7 before he sold that puter.
You need some fan to cool memory sticks though.
edit: I think though,that it depens how mod is made. I dont believe that he had that 3.6V at mem controller.

I did this mod. Scroll down a bit so u can see Smokey's pics. I used a 10k Pot. Right now im @ 250HTT 250mhz on the memory so a 1:1 ratio using 3-3-3-8-2t timmings. I want to raise the vdimm more so i can change the 2t to 1t, before ido i wnana make sure that 3.2+ v wont hurt my cpu.

Nice job! I wish I had the tools to do my vdimm mod.

It didnt help much tho, I wish thier was Vmod for the LDT, cuss the 2XLDT doesnt work for anyone and alot of people are getting stuck @ 2500mhz because of that.

I wish i had some like pc3700 or pc4000 ram cuss i used 3.78 vdimm just now and my memory isnt stable @ 230fsb or above when i use a 1T timmings, with 2t i got 260MHZ outa my memory

3.1v for 24/7. max if you love your cpu.

Good for you.

Oh yes it is

I have been seeing alot of people using high vdim on this board and none of them have had problems with cpu's breaking. I have seen about 4 people using ~3.7v 24/7 and a few more around 3.5v 24/7 and their processors are fine. Seems like the random a64 death due to high vdim might be a thing of the past...but I guess it is too soon to jump to conclusions.

You are right about that itried 3.8vdimm last night and im still here.... Altho that was only for a testing it idndt help at all. LOL
