Voltage mods

**dragon2309** · 06-14-2005, 09:47 PM

Hey, is there any small piece of hardware that you can connect or solder on to an Abit SG-72 motherboard that will increase the voltage. What about a mod to the PSU, i need to up the voltage in the CPU's vcore somehow and my crappy BIOS wont let me do it.

1. uh... you sure your crappy BIOS wont let you?
2. are you sure you wanna crank that Prescott478?

Your right it is a prescott. And why wouldnt i want to wack up the voltage...... Cooling it is another question i just want to know about voltae mods at the moment

well, anyone got any words of wisdom they want to part with, this post thread doesnt seem to be going anywhere.......? I have an Abit SG-72 and want to increase the voltage to the CPU. Obviously SKT478 800FSB. I need a new project to work on so i might aswell make it a voltage mod.

Are you sure your BIOS doesn't allow you too? Abit should be using one that allows it, try updating it http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/en/down...E=Socket%20478

there is, its a potentiometer(pots), it wont kick up your Ram voltage but it will stabilize it, and its not easy to do
