FB = pin8, just find a cap or resistor connected to this pin and you found FB

Yeah, sorry, that's actually the most important part: either you remove the resistor or not, connecting both 'ends' is the message. I've updated the opening post.

Don't worry, I don't mind

FYI, we will be changing default cooling category to 'blanco' and not 'default stock cooling'

Same issue again with the UD6. Seems like I'm missing something :-/

Without modification: coldbug ~-110°C Then tried 255MHz ... not at -95°C, not at -100°C, but works at -105°C Max bclk was 260MHz, but not cold enough. Now board warming up and will see how it works after coldbug modification.

Link to scores please

These are modifications for other boards than the MSI and Gigabyte. I haven't tested them myself just yet, so PLEASE DON'T TEST if you don't want to. I don't guarantee these work, I'm just following the same methodology. PLEASE confirm if it work! Asus M3F

I will try again with UD6. First without coldbug mod, then with coldbug mod.

That's 1366 ... different problem on 1366

Yeah, same mod for the Trinergy. I was a bit afraid that there would be some OVP, but I can run +0.3V without a problem

Strange problem with the modification, though. Before the modification, I was able to run 240BCLK on phase-change SPI32M stable ... after mod (and under extreme cold), I again have problem at 230MHz BCLK ... same as on the Trinergy.

If I understood MSI correctly, the problem with the Vcore cannot be fixed with a bios update. Hardmods are thus required. Just FB to GND will work fine. Can someone provide me feedback on stability with this modification? I've just tested the Gigabyte board with the same modification and I get the same kind of instability in SPI 1M (230MHz BCLK max).

That pin seems to be the cause of coldbug on any mainboard, so you can just tape over the CPU pin pad to remove coldbug. No soldering needed.

If you remove points, you lose all points.

I suppose we could make default -blank-. We will not make this field mandatory.

Okay, I couldn't wait for Hicookie to return from his biz trip, so did some quick reverse engineering. Here's the modification for the GA-H55M-UD2H and the socket pin it's connected to. Normally, the resistance of this pin is ~ 750ohm. Connect to GND means it'll be 0ohm. Just trace back to resistor and remove the resistor and connect both points, or just solder over the resistor. Should actually work on any board ... but I'm not responsible if this turns out incorrect. Anyway, just did the mod and I can boot up at -130°C no problem now. Same 661 as I'm using with the Trinergy. Works for me, but if you're not comfortable trying this out yourself wait for Hicookie's confirmation!

It's positive that you can improve those scores?

1) I'm actually using stock cooling on the graphics card in that score 2) Cooling type has no effect on either points or cups or ribbons. It's purely informational

The i5 750 is in fact a 4xCPU ... but the ranking isn't really right. I think I have fixed it, so should be correct in the next ranking update.

I bench for my team. Every point, even 0.1, is worth to bench for.

Yeah. There's a fix coming in REV3.5, together with the WR points, but it's maybe too long. I'll see if we can get a temporary fix.

Thanks!
