check the
vcore table for VID3 you will see that 1.35 to 1.45v will stay intact(no change). If you want more than 1.475v you need to set vcore to 1.225.
1.225=1.475 (+.025 for vid5=1.50)
1.250= 1.50 (+.025 vid5=1.525)
1.275=1.525(+.025 vid=1.550)
1.30=1.550(+.025 vid 5= 1.575v)
1.35=1.350+.025=1.375
1.40=1.40+.025=1.425
1.425=1.425+.025=1.450
1.450=1.450+.025=1.475
To check your vcore, before going to windows, just go to bios by pressing "F2" and then check vcore that way. you can check vdimm while in bios, also.
If you have soldered a wire to vdimm read, it is much easier to check vdimm (while in bios "f2" method) and just turn the trimmer toward one of the trimmer's leg. if you see decrease, turn it opposite way.
if you soldered wire to each end of resistor #2, the vdimm increase is gradual and very slow. so dont worry about turning it too far to or away from the leg.
the resistor end to the right( closer to #1 in photo) is ground, and the other end is connected to resistor above it. So you know which wire has current and which is ground. if the trimmer knob is turned all the way toward the ground leg, you will reach near 3.05v (which is safe). So I would say about 5 to 7 turns away from the ground leg should give you about 2.9v
The trimmer has 3 legs. you can just discard one of outer legs and just use the middle leg and one outer leg. The middle leg usually is grounded(wiper).
so, it's best if you solder the ground end of resistor #2 (top end toward motherboard near transistor marked #1) to middle leg of trimmer.
Try above and let me know how it's working.
