Tijdje geleden nieuw systeem gehaald en meteen waterkoeling ingebouwd met als doel mijn AMDXP1800 ook daadwerkelijk op 1800MHz te laten draaien. Alles verliep goed, netjes alles gemod aan mijn kast en epox board. Langzaam snelheid opvoeren en de Vcore uiteraard. Hier begonnen de problemen zo gauw ik een Vcore boven de 2.08V instelde kreeg ik last van random reboots. ALs ik de cpu lager klokte (dus een snelheid die daarvoor nog stabiel was) maar de Vcore even hoog liet staan, kreeg ik ook die reboots. Na vele forums en emails afgelopen te hebben, kreeg ik een stukje van Macci gemaild van Rick2001 die van mijn probleem afwist, nog bedankt Rick
en daarin stond precies hoe dit op te lossen. Ik heb de mod uitgevoerd vandaag en ik kan nu mijn Vcore verhogen tot 2.25V zonder reboot problemen te krijgen. Hoger kan misschien ook maar dat ga ik niet testen. Ik heb mijn doel bereikt 1800@1800 en kan nu rustig de rest van mijn systeem gaan optimaliseren.
Dus als iemand het idee heeft dat ie met dezelfde problemen zit misschien is het ook een oplossing voor jouw.

Little EPoX Vmod guide
Hello!
This is how I modded my 8kha+:
1st step:
take a look at this datasheet:
<http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/CS5301-D.PDF>
Note "Hiccup Mode Current Limit" under Features list..
This means that the CS5301 chip controlling the CPU Vcore has overCURRENT(not voltage) protection feature. And the more you overclock the CPU and up the Vcore the more current will be drawn from the PSU. The defaul current limit is reached at around 1,8-1,9GHz (at Vcore of 1,98-2,1V). This is where the "Hiccup Mode" kicks in.
So in order to increase the Vcore past ~2V at ~1,8-1,9GHz CPU speed one has to set the Current Limit to a higher level.
Take a look at page 9 (pin descriptions) of that datasheet.
We already know that pin 2 can be used to raise the Vcore above 1,85V. Soldering a 100kohm resistor from pin 2 to GND increases my Vcore up to 2,26V. However some people are reporting that 100k resistor increases the Vcore all the way up to 2,4V!! So I suggest you start w/ higher resistance like 200kohm.
Pins 4, 5 and 6 are current sense inputs. Pin 7 is reference for current sense amplifiers. These pins are there to set the Current Limit and this limit can be set to a higher level by grounding each pin w/ a resistor. I've used 80kohm resistor for pins 4, 5 and 6 and 50k pot for pin 7. Using lower resistance would increase the current limit even higher. Note that resistance between pin 7 and GND should be 1/3 of the resistance between sense pins (4,5,6) and GND. So set the pin7 pot/resistor to around 30kohms.
[Note: the resistor values may slightly differ from mobo to mobo and from revision to revision, so I suggest you measure the original resistance between sense pins (4,5,6) before modding. It should be around 20kohms for sense pins and 6,66kohms for ref. pin.]
Good luck and don't kill your mobos and CPUs
And if u happen to kill em DON't BLAME me !
