When volt mods go wrong...

I fried my NF7 this week when checking the VDD mod I did a while back for consistency. It was running at exactly 2.0v, which is great, but then the multimeter slipped......

I shorted what looked like a mosfet for the southbridge, and the comp restarted and the southbridge got REALLY hot. The comp didnt POST so there was a problem.


Now, every time I turn on the comp the southbrige gets boiling hot within about 20 seconds and nothing happens. It got so hot initially that it caused the heatsink I had thermal taped on there to fall off. Not fun.

Luckily, I just got a raise so I bought myself an AN7. Great! Another board to fry the living crap out of.

W00T Abit

Oh, and for added "stability" I usually run 2.1v just because I can
