Everything You Need to Know About The Motherboard Voltage Regulator Circuit - Page 2

I didn't expect a quick reply but I'd really love to learn where to locate the important voltages; VCORE, VTT, CPU PLL, NB and DIMM Voltages.

Perhaps you can also add voltages for the GPU and GDDR on the graphics card.

This tutorial should be in conjunction with how to use a Digital Multi Meter to measure voltages in a computer like the PSU which is the easiest and safest.

Easy, yes! Safe, no!

High voltage AC and somewhat powerful capacitors provide connection points where you don't want physical contact with your body.

Poking around the motherboard and other components is far less probable to harm you (while causing more damage to the computer).

err, i meant measuring the rails not the insides of the power supply.

taking measurements from the motherboard is very unforgiving because you slip and the motherboard gets it.

Excellent suggestion. I will prepare this tutorial as soon as time allows. It is not a difficult for me to show these, however I want to put as many pictures I can...

no pressure, i look forward to it. in fact i've been scanning the tutorials this past few days just to see if its already up.

btw, don't forget CPU GTL Reference and MCH Reference if its not too much to ask.

No, not much to ask at all.

Due to the several different voltages the extreme overclocker may be interested in manually monitoring, I will probably break this idea down in several separated tutorials.

Once again, thank you a lot for you suggestion.

Cheers,
Gabriel.
