Help w/ mod on 8rda+

I have built a voltage regulator to get more power into my board. The regulator takes twelve volts in and puts out 5.01-5.02volts (no load). I wish to attach this to the mofsets. I just took my board out to do it and forgot to test with my meter which ones are the 5V mofsets.

I was wondering if anyone could check their mofsets w/ a meter and tell me which ones are the 5V ones so i don't have to remount my block to find out.

More power into what? The chipset? The cpu?

I'm trying to stabalize my 5V line. I'm looking for the 5v mosfets.

Well if someone doesn't beat me too it, my friend is should be stopping by with a multimeter in an hour or so, for the same mod too! If you can wait that long and he actually stops by I'll post the results for you.

Ok, i just checked it with my meter, couldn't wait and hooked it back up. If anyone here is planning on doing a 5v mod to this board then It is the three where the metal base faces toward the io connectors. . I added some heatsinks to my mosfets yesterday, and without the blowhole blowing on them, they will literally burn me. I need to get me one of them new chips that defalts to 1.45v.

Current 5v mosfet reading : 4.78V , it drops as I increas my vcore. RIght now i'm running at 1.675V @ 11X200.

I will post results as I find time to actually install the mod.

It consists of three 7805 5v voltage regulators, each rated @ 1A. I have a 4700uf 35v polarized cap keeping things stable. I have a heatsink glued to the mosfets. Oversized for the to-220 package but its what i had. I'm debating on wether or not to add the smaller filter caps to the end as the voltage is stable, but I have no oscillicope to measure noise. I'm entering my w/c system in a contest in oct at school. I'll take a look at it then as they've got scopes there.

Oddly enough, it was in the Classifieds. It even got replies asking if you were looking to hire someone to check thier mosfets...

I've never heard of this mod. Could you explain the purpose, or link somewhere?
