Here's my PLL.
![]()
So if I disconnect pin 14 that will allow me to set 333MHz via software
and
cutting pin 2 will give me 1.1V.
Is this correct? Just want to make sure.
P.S. (I've read the hardmod topic, just want to confirm)![]()

Cutting pin 2 is not the VID mod. The proper VID mod can be found here, that is the pin you need to cut on the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is located under the heatsink.

Seems pretty straightforward if it's cut carefully. -
Correct, cut pin 14 on the ICS chip and use Setpll to overclock, then cut the pin pictured on the voltage regulator for the 1.1 VID mod.
-
please note the 1.1VID mod has a different effect in non OC mode.
with OC mode disabled it did nothing for my stock VID (0.975v). but when speed step kicked in it RAISED the VID to 1.075v which is going higher instead of lower like it normally would. when you mess with the pin logic manually some times you get undesired results just a FYI.
you need to read the voltage controller data sheet to see what im saying but thats what happened to me. -

use cpu-z to check the voltage

When you apply the VID mod you are hijaaking the VID[0..6] signals being sent by the CPU to the voltage regulator and back to the CPU. The hijaaking being done at the voltage regulator point.
CPU-Z reads VID[0..6] from the CPU's prespective which will not be the hijaaked values. Only the modder *should* know that. The way to check the real voltage is to check th hijaaked VID[0..6] logic levels received by the voltage regulator and lookup the VID table to know what voltage your CPU will now be getting.
The modder will usually do this in reverse. They'll set a target voltage they way, look up the VID table for their desired voltage, their current voltage and devise what pins will be hijaaked to achieve the desired voltage.
Ics Pll 1.1v
