Vid Pin Gone Bad

[{PMS}fishy]

I did the vid pin mod on my celeron to get it to default to 1.675 but it didn't work for some reason. In the bios the 1.475 still reads as 1.47. Im getting frustraded as I did everything that needed to be done. What else could be going on here? Do I just need to try it agian? Ill look at it again in the morning.

Did you do the right pins? I messed up once and did the wrong ones..luckily no damage. Sometimes you also have to flash your bios with voltage set to highest poss. setting

I used solder on the back side now.

Yeah I did the right pins. THe cpu sits right in there just fine. If I did the wrong pins wouldnt it have died by now? I wish that I could solder, but I cant and would never trust my self with that, sorry. I guess Ill just pull it out again and try it again.

The first time I used solder was the first time I soldered the back of my ST6 mobo for this vid mod. Just cause it involves solder does not mean it is hard. Now I have done it to 2 ST6 mobo's and got my ST6 to 1.825v as the top vcore which in the end equates to 1.85y~1.87v.

Do you understand? If you can tie your shoes you could do this.

Nope!

You can do the wrong pins and have the CPU survive just fine. Trust me, I know from personal experience (DOH! what a dope...).

I had mine on the opposite corner since I looked at the drawing on the pin side of the interface and used the pin hole method without making the correction for the "mirror image". I was stuck at 1.475 volts until I figured it out. No harm done, whew!

Ok I flashed the BISO and that did nothing. I also redid the wire on the CPU and that didnt do anything either. Any other ideas?

you have looked in the bios to see if the higher voltage options are there? i know it sounds stupid, but i didnt scroll through them all and i thought mine hadnt worked! but they were there... default was still 1.475 V

Try a different wire. It's worth a shot.
