    Discussion about the VTT

    So? Any thoughts or hints? We all know this is the voltage of the FSB (correct me), but raising it up endangers the cpu as well as stabilizes the overclocking systems...but sometimes it brings more trouble than ease the pain...any thoughts on this?

      Re: Discussion about the VTT

      It's mainly a reference voltage for the I/O buffers/logic in the CPU to decide what is high (binary 1) and low (binary 0) on the signal lines connected to the CPU. It's not directly relevant for CPU overclocking - only Vcore needs to be tweaked for CPU overclocking.

      However, if the FSB needs to be overclocked in conjunction with an over-volted Vio, then Vth may need to be slightly adjusted accordingly. There's usually no point in indiscriminately trying to overclock the FSB, because there will be a severe reliability penalty.

          That is correct.

          To word it a little differently.

          Digital signals are sequences of "0"s and "1"s by way of a voltage that is above or below a threshold value.
          The logic voltage pulses are created from Vtt inside IC chips.
          Basically the chip applies or removes Vtt voltage form/to the Logic circuit to make a sequence of "0"s and "1"s.

          Lets assume an imaginary Logic circuit just to get the idea across.
          Vtt will be +1.0 volts.
          In our logic circuit a "0" is 0.0 volts and a "1" is +1.0v [which is Vtt].
          With threshold a "0" is really 'less than' +0.1v actual voltage. - Not exactly zero volts.
          With threshold a "1" is really 'greater than' +0.9v actual voltage. - Not exactly +1.0v.

          If there is excessive noise in Vtt then "1"s and "0"s can be 'read wrong' which is a corrupted signal.
          - Lets say there is 120 mV of Ripple in Vtt and the next pulse is supposed to be a zero.
          Because of the ripple the next pulse may actually be +0.120v which isn't low enough to change the logic state to a zero if the previous pulse was a "1".
          .
          Hope that makes sense.

              Marvelous! Thanks, this helpd me much and actually you solved my problem...On one of my VP6 I reach 1.94v VTT !!!, which is for the AGTL quite much ...I can run it only at default settings, all the goddish options of Overclocking are for nothing... Thanks Bonez, this is one of the best answers of all times. I got

                  Upgrading a Samsung ue55nu7096u with logic board from an ue55ru7105k -- good idea?
                  by ohren
                  I hope this is the right forum to post in despite not technically being a repair, but still a question of swapping boards.

                  I thought I'd explore the possibility to upgrade an existing working Samsung ue55nu7096u with the logic board (and power board if needed) of a newer model (ue55ru7105k) of the same size and appearance (and resolution). The reason being I'd like the extra inputs of that board including component in, an extra HDMI port and bluetooth. Its panel is broken so I have no use for the board otherwise.

                  The models launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively....

                  Will I have a bricked logic board after reflow of the GPU v-core U8900 chip on my Mid-2012 15" Retina Macbook pro?
                  by korben_dallas
                  Hi everyone! I'm trying to fix my black screen / failed U8900 GPU v-core on my Mid-2012 Macbook Pro 15" Retinaby doing a rework/reflow of the chip (once I determine that's the real issue; but it likely is).

                  I've been disabling the GPU in NVRAM for a few years... but it's just time for a better solution.

                  I'm new to soldering but the only feasible way to fix this issue is to do something myself.

                  MY QUESTION:
                  I've been seeing some people (on this forum mostly) run into issues with the logic board needing a serial number or it being deactivated (?)...

                  by Yanleb
                  Hi all, I just want to share the repair of my 60PK550-UA TV set.

                  The TV set was powering on, just no image. After verification, nothing wrong on the YSus or ZSus boards. Nothing wrong on the main board either.

                  But I noticed that the LED was not flashing on the Logic Control Board. This is an EBR63450301. The LED is supposed to flash even with all the flat cables disconnected, with only the power cable attached.

                  All the voltages measured at the electrolytic capacitors on the board were good. From top left to bottom right:
                  C57: 3.30V
                  C61:...

                  Logic Board 820-00840-A Missing EDP_BKLT_EN
                  by mferna14
                  Hi dear friends., I am working on a Apple MacBook Pro A1708 , Logic Board 820-00840-A that has no backlight. The logic board powers on fine, but no display. After Checking on the backlight driver chip, I found that the EDP_BKL_EN is missing. And this Power Enable comes from the PCH. So does this means this Logic board cannot be repaired & brought back to life again? The resistance from GRD to the test point of EDP_BKL_EN is around is 0.66M ohms. R8442 (0ohms) is ok. Any suggestion/Tip if any would really appreciate. ​

                  by mferna14
                  Hi good Friends., today working on a Macbook Pro A2289, Logic board 820-01978-A. The history was liquid spill, Cleaned & replaced all corroded components & now the logic board shows 20v & .01amp on the meter. Not taking in any amps. Upon trouble shooting I get the required stable voltages 5V, PP3V3_G3H 3.3V but no PP3V3_S5. Checked the schematic, assume that this is generated from U7800. Checked all the Input/Output voltages on this chip. All is fine, except PP3V3_S5 is missing. Resistance from GND to PP3V3_S5 is 146 Kohms. First I need to make sure whether PP3V3_S5 is generated from...
