Modifying An Asus A7V Motherboard For Duron-Overclocking
Modifications For Less Than 3 Dollars
Three components must be added to the Asus A7V to enable the multiplier settings according to the adjustments printed on the circuit board. A listing of the necessary components is shown in the table below.
Component Name | Type | Position on the board | Price |
---|---|---|---|
DIP Switch | 6 DIP | adjacent to first DIP | $1.50 |
Logic IC (SMD) | 74F125 | U42 | $0.80 |
SMD Resistor | 8-pin, 100 Ohm | R16 | $0.70 |
These components must be purchased for the modification of the Asus A7V. The financial expense is about 3 dollars.
The next picture shows what the individual components look like. The DIP block is available from most mail-order stores for electronic components. Getting your hands on the two SMD components might be a little more difficult: they should be available in stores specializing in electronics that usually offer a large variety of SMD components.
These are the individual components: 1 - DIP block with 6 switches, 2 - Logic-IC and 3 - multiple resistor.
