March 22, 201510 yr It works on retail 5820K, tried both mods. For 2nd mod I did it without external power device. Just connect it to VDDR MOSFET or coil and your VDDR = you "uncore signal voltage". MSI X99S XPOWER AC Before mod: 3700MHz After Easy 4G mod: 4100MHz After 4G+ mod: 4500MHz (1.6Vddr = 1.6V "uncore signal voltage") This CPU is capped at 4500, test on X99-DELUXE, will have to try with my 5960X.
March 22, 201510 yr I have used the wire from the 80-pin IDE cable (ATA66+), don't know what AWG gauge is that but it seems to be working without a hitch. Here you can see it connected to Vddr inductor: Thanks Roman for the mod! :banana:
July 15, 20159 yr Great Mod! Don´t know if anyone told you; the special heat resistant Tape you used for covering the pins is called "Kapton Tape or here in germany Kaptonband" Easy to get!
December 22, 20159 yr I cannot see this not working for a 5930k. Can ANYBODY verify? I have a window fogger repair kit I used for 775 BSEL mods. I'm sure it will work just fine for the lazy mod. Looking for 4ghz+, at 3.6ghz right now and it's just not enough. EVGA Motherboard.... never again. Solid (very solid), but lacking in options.
January 4, 20187 yr is this mod still relevant? I have 5820K and SOC Champion. You shouldn't need to do this if you have the Champion as it has an OC socket, it's ready to go.
January 4, 20187 yr You shouldn't need to do this if you have the Champion as it has an OC socket, it's ready to go. Ahh cool, thx. OP mentions it also works on other OC socket boards so I thought it might also help on the Champion.
January 4, 20187 yr Set the CPU switch to OC mode and 3 extra voltages appear in the Bios from memory they are LV4 to LV6.
January 5, 20187 yr Set the CPU switch to OC mode and 3 extra voltages appear in the Bios from memory they are LV4 to LV6. Cheers. Yep I see it and I got uncore to 4.3 Ghz-ish under SS so that seems reasonable.
