Our Singapore associates already showed to Conroe processors owners that vcore increasement of such processor is possible using relatively simple modification, closing or insulating the appropriate contact areas. Of course interest in this procedure appeared between owners of other processors LGA 775, based on architecture NetBurst. Specially for them vr-zone published the detailed illustrated management on the vcore modification of LGA 775 processors , which do not relate to family Core 2 duo.
Procedure examined this time works for processors Pentium 4, Celeron D, Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition, but it cannot used for processors Conroe. The combination of normally open contacts will depended on what nominal vcore has the concrete processor copy . In all in the article it is examined the voltmod procedure for the processors with the following values default vcore calue:
- 1.225 v;
- 1.25 v;
- 1.275 v;
- 1.285 v;
- 1.3 v;
- 1.3125 v;
- 1.325 v;
- 1.335 v;
- 1.35 v;
- 1.375 v;
- 1.385 v.
The maximum vcore, described by this procedure, is 1.6 V. the authors chose value "1.6 v" as the reasonable limit.
using this method to increase the vcore on processor makes sense in such case, when motherboard does not support voltage regulation via bios , or when the change range of in the bios is limited. In majority of cases completely it is possible to manage such setting from bios setup
