can anyone find me the volt mod to an Ecs 915p-a. i saw one a while back and now i cant seem to find it. thanks
A voltmod to your motherboard? I can't think of a reason you'd want to do that off hand, besides, it should be in your BIOS. Unless this pertains to your graphics card voltmod, which you should keep to the other thread.
no no the motherboard is having stability issues i would like to provide some more voltage to the chipset... thanks
You should never have stability issues with a chipset unless a) it's faulty or b) it isn't being delivered sufficient power. What Power supply are you using?
its an Ultra 350 watt pc specs: Pentium 4 630 (3ghz, 2meg l2 cache, 800 mhz fsb) GeForce 6200 256meg agp 1 x 200 gb SATA hdd sum generic DVD burner 2 gb ddr(1) pc3200 400mhz ram
i suspect its a problem with the power regulators... on the motherboard i have tried a 600 watt and that doesnt seem to do the trick either if you are wondering if the 600 watt has enought oomph to run it, the same 600 watt runs my SLI system without any flaws including an e6300 C2D at 3 ghz
OK so we can rule out the power supply. As for the voltage regs on the motherboard you could well be right. You can test that though. If the PC is stable enough to get into windows for a few minutes, download speedfan and see what it reports the chipset voltage to be. If it fluctuates, or looks low, then it's probably the vregs. However, on an ECS board it could be anything, they're usually of pretty low build quality I'm afraid to say.
+5v = between +5.08v and +5.11v Core = between +1.39v and +1.40v Aux = 1.55v +3.3v = bewteen +3.26v and +3.30v thats what the Hmonitor showed me, the rest of the voltages are grayed out
Aux sounds like your chipset voltage. 1.55V sounds fine to me. Try running a CPU intensive application (such as a CPU benchmark) and a chipset-intensive operation (such as a large file transfer) and see if it drops. If it doesn't, the Vregs probably aren't the problem.
You needn't run them for very long, a minute would probably suffice. If there was a major voltage drop, you'd spot it instantly. A small amount is to be expected, but if the value dips below 1.5V, you have regulation issues.
the aux didnt even change .01v, although the other voltages fluctuated a bit but not more than .05v so the regulators look okay what then is the problem with the stability? the stability issue is that suddenly the whole computer turns extremely slow, the ram has been checked with memtest 86, i even dropped another know good stick to make sure, the hard drive was wiped and a new installation of xp was installed. drivers are updated, i have used several other graphics cards but still get the same problem.
If I'm honest, I think it's the motherboard itself. I've had issues along those lines, completely solved by replacing the board, and as I've mentioned before, ECS boards are known for their problems.
do you know of any cheap lga775 boards that can run a p4 630, have sata, have a pci-e slot, and not be ecs?
