Help I need a common ground.

[Bender]

I am about to do the voltage Hack for my A7V133 (in the tips section) but I don't want to solder the other end to my case for a ground. I would like to find a ground near the voltage regulators. This way I'll be able to remove the motherboard without unsoldering the ground wire. Are there any ground pins on the voltage regulator? Any ideas?

Why not just use a long wire and screw? You can add a little round washer thingy on the end of the wire and have a screw hold it against the case (maybe a case screw or a power supply mount screw or even a metal stand off screw for the mobo?

If the ASUS uses a HIP6301 IC, then pin 9 is the ground return.

how about a connector in the middle of the ground wire so you could just unplug it to remove mb?

Hoot I can't locate the HIP6301, any Ideas were it would be lurking. What board has the HIP6301, is it the A7V? I want a ground near the voltage regulator so I can make it look professional and be able to remove the motherboard easily.

Well no HIP6301, the Asus uses a 5322 instead. I downloaded the data sheet for the 5322 so I'll see if I can find a ground pin.
