Hehe to begin with , I had a badaxe revision 0304 and my hands were itchy so I vmodded it and theres part 1 where I blew things up , part 2 where I managed to get some clocks after the rma from intel ( intel was kind ! ) and part 3 where the OC results are

Part 1 :

After spending 2 weeks vmodding I finally did it ...and fried a couple stuff as well but here are the preliminary clocks before I fried it ( no windows testing except in safe mode as my hard disk fried along with the rest )

As for how I blew up my system ( I was in a rush to measure the voltage and forgot to set it to voltage DC instead of the resistance ( Ohms ) which it was currently set to and therefore short circuited the whole thing ( the multimetre apparently survived and the gigabyte motherboard somehow got fried when I was using it to test my system for spoilt parts )

The clocks are here and its up to you to believe at your discretion :

CPU : 3786.62 MHz

FSB : 473.32 MHz

DDR2 SDRAM : 946.65 MHz 4-3-3-8 ( 1:1 ratio )

Multiplier : 533

Bootstrap : 1333

BIOS : 1334

VCore : 1.6V

VDimm : 2.751 ( 2.2 in BIOS )

VMCH : 2.008 ( 1.725 in BIOS )

FSB Voltage : 1.395 in BIOS

Temperatures : below 55 for everything ( rams were especially cool for some reason )

I'll let the pictures do the talking for the rest

the messy worktable




ram voltage ..




how the badaxe revision 0304 blew up heh heh..




after blowing it up...




stuff I blew up dont ask lol...thats like 500 SGD +




part 2....must OC !! hands itchy power




the badaxe revision 306




the NB voltage on the rev 0306

Hey senior member from Sg'pore.
vDimm so high.. wht RAM us using??!
Wht is 1333 strap means, i read some article b4 but cant really understand..
Thanks for sharing.

Edit:
[Pic. 4] Wht soup is tht? Finish it 1st la bro, put soup beside h/w is danger haha

i think it's mushroom soup....
btw i heard badaxe is a very very very good board,and TS,one more question,
how u manage to get ur multiplier to 533?can teach me?


473.32x533=252279.56GHz


u have the world's best cpu and mobo!!!!!!!

(just joking,hope u dont mind )

Tat looks like maggi to me...
Btw, i was wondering for quite long what the heck is a Badaxe, now only i know it's a mobo...
Pardon me for my noobiness...

wow..looks like u really love to fry all the pc stuffs ha..
anyway thats a really high vdimm..i wonder how did u managed to get ur stuffs cooled below 55C even with very high voltages..

yea last time I also wondering a very weird name from Intel, but from what I've heard , this board rocks, stability and overclockability are one of the best

cooking stuff at computer table?

btw, how the proc? survived the ordeal?

PS: i got the same set of speakers and i want that mouse. look just like a mouse pumped with few 9mm!

good luck with your frying activities. i wish i have the money for this kind of "hobby"

hehe havent post the results pic...yesterday got dced by mother lol

the proc survived...and yeah haha its maggi mee...my own receipe with eggs

hehe that mouse only 30-50 SGD ( MX518 ..quite cheap...in malaysia its expensive ? )

those temps achieved with 2 12cm 90 cfm san ace fans...relatively loud and annoying lol....but gets the job done.....although very dusty !!!

lemme think.... to change multiplier go to advanced in bios ( something like that ) and chipset options ( something like that ) but of course you must unlock the bios to engineering mode....connect the 2 round points next to the CMOS jumper ( should be less than 1 cm away from it... )

then adjust lor....to get 1333 strap set to 1333 strap ...there are options for 1066 / 800 too IIRC but most of this you need to UNLOCK to Engineering mode

lastly...thanks for all the kind comments

and finally ... oc pictures ...using 256MB kingston hynix FP-C4 though...most elpidas cant go above 2.3-2.5vdimm so it wont post.....



dont bother about that orthos...for some reason..1-10% OC also like that one


E6400 ( L626A320 ) trust me this batch cant oc for shit...able to post @ 3.6-3.7 ghz but to be orthos stable 3.1-3.2 or so...I need more vcore than 1.6v ( will try and hunt for mods for this ... PENCIL only )

oh btw... intel approved my RMA even after I blew it up to that condition...maybe isopropyl alcohol I wasted was worth it

lastly....

Do so many thing...... Finally yr mobo is "Kaboom" already like that??

This post has been edited by Daywalker: Feb 15 2007, 09:15 PM

no lah....kaboom but intel approved rma so I didn really lose anything except a ton of time

PS: they were nice enough to do DHL Express !!

how u managed to get intel approve rma?

here's some of the possibilities:

1. intel certified overclocker
2. he show all those fried mobo to intel representative
3. blame the mobo low quality
4. the mobo "stop" working for "unknown" reason

probably the 4th option

haha I not so lucky for first...no.2 I not so rich

no.3 a bit lah

no.4 mostly

The pic on ur monitor in ur 4th picture is pron ka?
Anyway,how long did intel ask u to wait for warranty?

hmm...max_cjs0101.....i reckon it is pron....lol

but with this kinda damage to the mobo, can still rma?

boom kaki there nice intel do RMA for.. how u make them cant check that u vmood it leh ?

nice idea bout the taping blow part...

hi everybody,kind of a newbie here and to the overclocking world..need some advice and experience in overclocking the c2d processor on the intel badaxe2 m/b.does the board overclock well with c2d and is there a voltage and fsb adjustment settings?(last intel board i bought was a rambus board ages ago).if it helps i'm using a dual channel ram fron crucial with micron d9 chip.thank you all for your help.

well sorry for late reply.. I just used a ton of isopropyl alcohol..try and absorb as much of the residue and hope they dont notice lor...the RMA procedure was 1 week including negotiations etc


the images are OC pictures lah ! lol

and I think I got lucky or maybe they dont check throughly...
