Just modded my 8RDA and it works!!!

After 1000 attempts to break a 200MHz fsb I decided to do the Vdd mod to see if it would help. Well it did and I'm now at 210 with absolutely no problems. This also my first 'real' mod so am pretty amazed I could solder those tiny pins without messing it up. I used a an adjustable resistor and set the resistance to 725 ohms; this in turn raised the vdd voltage from 1.56v to 1.80 and has done miracles to this board. I would post some pics but I haven't figured out how to host them yet. Anyways if anyone is thinking about it, I have to warn you that the pins on that super tiny chip are very close to each other, but atleast you can know that even an amateur could do it. Well, I'm off to see how much higher it can go

Thx man, it took me awhile, but I hit a max of 215, which is pretty good

Nice, good stuff, did u remove NB and put AS3? I did that and I can hit 200 FSB DCDDR no v-mods, haven't had time to do the vmod yet.

Yeah I always do that before I even install any of my boards. I put a fan on it and another heatsink on the southbridge but 196 is all I could pull without the mod. Now it's nice
