Do you still have your 8RDA+ after a chipset VMod 4-6 mths after?

mata2974 · Oct 14, 2003

Back in Jan - March of this year when the nforce2 chipset was hot, most of us who owned 8RDA and 8RDA+ did a voltage mod on the chipset to get over 200FSB, I am trying to track down those owners if their mobos are still working. After I did the volt mod I could go as far as 220FSB, that was 8 mths ago. The mobo has since died (well kind of, it still boots up just with a high risk of killing the processor), and took 3 processors with it. How have you guys faired ?

Mine died after 5 minutes in a conflagration of smoke and fire. Everything but the board survived. Seems the smd grabber I used wiggled a little bit and touched the next leg over on the IC.

still in my sig...

and still working well... 1.84vdd voltage after mod....

oh ya, i built mine in feb

PoX Freak · Oct 16, 2003

Bought mine in January, this year.
Did the volt mod, with a small resistor after using a variable to get 1.80 Vdd.
Still runs fine, and posts at better than 226 FSB, although a little tricky. Win 98 is fine, but Win XP just crashes before welcome screen. Highest post was with the current system.
2825Mhz, 226FSB, 12.5 multi.

Mine lasted about 3 months till a lightening storm killed my mobo and cpu. I had it turned off but still plugged it. The power supply and all other components were fine though.

Mine's lasted seven months and counting at 1.85vdd. The northbridge doesn't want to go much over 200MHz (A3 stepping).

mine is lasting strong..

from Jan until now.... 1.90v VDD

check my sig

EclipseJP · Oct 26, 2003

Mine is still goin at 1.84 for a while now. Forgot when I did it.

Blue078 · Nov 1, 2003

8RDA+ still going strong since March 1.95volts on the vdd.

Best NF2 board I've had.

Showstoppermd · Nov 1, 2003

no,
it ran fine at 1.85 for about a month
then i wanted more...
hehe my northbridge actually blew....smelled awlful
but it was my fault. when i was adjusting my potentiometer i rewired the grabbers incorrectly and boom :bang head

i was sad and excited at the same time....that was 7 months ago

That must have been scary.

Did you recover everything like CPU and VC

WyrmMaster · Nov 6, 2003

Still going strong since last feburary or so, 1.825vdd. Never would do much over 200mhz FSB stable, so it hasnt been pushed too hard.

I just hooked mine back up tonight.
Running a brand new 2100 through the paces to see how this compares to my 1700 that I had on here before..

Showstoppermd · Nov 8, 2003

the power supply conect melted a bit but was still usable...everything else survived...cept the mb of course.

EluSiOn · Nov 20, 2003

ok... my 8rda died after 8 month... it died yesterday... sigh.... it was a good board...

Milkman · Nov 21, 2003

I just got a refurb version 1.1 from newegg, running without vdd mod @ 210 fsb right now , still wanna do the mod, wish someone was selling kits premade like Larry quinns volt mods.

I also like OnDborder got mine a while back and just set it back up on my water I managed to get and is running with 1.9vdd as it did 2-3 months ago 24\7 when I took it down all seems well and I think I have had the board 9 months or so and have been up to 220+fsb with 1.97vdd.

Drisler · Jan 5, 2004

still going since March.

filip04 · Jan 5, 2004

still going since feb... oh yeah, upgraded my cpu to a barton 2500, but the board still lives...
