    P5B-E, where do I measure Ram voltage

    I can tell you right now without clearing the cmos that the offset added (.3v in my case) will be present on powerup. If your bios default was 1.8v then after the mod it would boot at 1.8v + offset. This voltage is not monitored and runs open loop so the mobo does not really know what the...

    P5B-E, where do I measure Ram voltage

    Found the place to measure, my initial boost was only .05v. I boosted it .3v, now I have 2.1v to 2.4v which works perfectly with my Patriot ram. Of course you are 100% correct even though I had the meter I should have checked it before I fired it up. Sometimes us EE's get a bit careless...

    P5B-E, where do I measure Ram voltage

    Got a meter, know how to mod, just want to tweak it up a bit. Anyone know where to measure it? Thanks

    P5B-E, where do I measure Ram voltage

    Guys, I made the mod to crank up my Memory voltage but I can't figure where to measure the result. I have the 20K pot set 1/2 way so I'm safe with about a .1v boost(2.2v) but I want to go to 2.4v but only if I can monitor it. I sure don't want to overshoot and fry the memory. I don't suppose...

    Monitor res/Vid card res match?

    I have a 8800GTS, their documenttion shows 1600x1024 as the closest match. Looks like the only way for me to find out is to buy the monitor and hook it up unless someone else has a similar card and monitor to verify with! Thanks

    Monitor res/Vid card res match?

    From my experience with an LCD monitor the best picture I get is when the vid card res and monitor res are the same. I'm looking at widescreen monitors and there doesn't seem to be an exact match. Is there a way to disable the scaling on a WS monitor and accept the black bars around the picture...

    P5B-E voltage mod?

    I would definitely be interested in the Vdimm mod. Does it add a .2v offset to the voltage? If so that's exactly what I'm looking for! For the powerup issue I put a stick of my Patriot ram in the fridge to cool it off then used it to boot. I quickly went and set the bios voltage to 2.1v. It...

    P5B-E 1.01 ram voltage mod?

    Does one exist? I'd like to go to 2.4v if possible but even 2.2v would help. Thanks for any info.

    P5B-E max ram voltage?

    Found it, it's a 1.01G rev which explains the 2.1v limitation :(. Can't believe it, I just bought it a few weeks ago, the new rev has been out since last year and I get an old one! Seems the Patriot ram I have needs > 2.1v to overclock. I read where guys have gotten 1187mhz out of it, I...

    P5B-E max ram voltage?

    I can only get 2.1v on my P5B-E and I have Bios 1002, any ideas why? Does anyone know where the rev. is marked on the board? I'm wondering if I have a rev where the voltage won't go any higher? Thanks

    p5n-e and e6600 not overclocking well, why?

    Are you sure it's not the ram causing the problem? Have you slowed it down to compensate for the FSB increase?

    8800 GTS Cooling Question

    I know this does not answer your question but if cooling is an issue run RivaTuner and crank up the fan speed. If it's like my eVga card it only runs at 60%, you can easily bump it up to 75% and have it still very quiet..

    P5B-E max ram voltage?

    Guys, I'm waiting for my mobo looking through the manual and it shows a max ram voltage setting of 2.1v, is this true or will it allow a higher setting and how? Thanks
