Indeed. An easier way is to go into the BIOS setup.. go to the place where you can see the VTT voltage (and other voltage settings). The VTT should be around 1.5. It will fluctuate a little. If it's between 1.48 and 1.52 (which is what I see on my rev 1.0 mobo), you're all good. If you see it drop to like 1.42 a bunch, you have the bad one. > > Using a soldering iron and all that goes along with it is not a problem. > What is missing from this information is the location of the cap and what > it is really supposed to be. Is that info available somewhere? http://bp6.gamesquad.net/Q6fix.phtml This also tells you how to identify the bogus voltage regulator. -- =- To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the -= =- body of "unsubscribe linux-abit". -=
