Testing VRMs on A7N8x rev 2

09-28-2009, 04:44 AM

I'm using Akor's method for testing vrms on my a7n8x.
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=600

I'm at step 3 and measuring resistance from my power pins on motherboard to the input of the VRMs. Should I be worried that I see a small amount of resistance. Akor mentions with new caps there should be no resistance but is that just an anal or ideal measurement????

Re: Testing VRMs on A7N8x rev 2

set your ohmmeter to higher range and check again. and it should get 0 very low resistance. to accurately check the component being tested remove it from the circuit board and do a FET regulator test.

GTX 1080 TI Gigabyte Aorus low resistance on vmem

by cind12

Hi guys, i was wondering, i've got 9Ohms on Vmem, one of the mosfet was shortet to ground, so i've desoldered hi and low mosfets nad still low res, then i removed all of the memory chips, and the resistance is still low, so did you had maybe a card with that low res on memories, and the card was working fine ?
Removed the U1866Q and still without result, i dont have thermal cam so can't see where is hot spot when incjeting voltage.
The resistance on core is ok 0.1Ohm ((Power 0.8V when on)
Resistance on 12V 4K ohms (Power present when on)
Resistance on 12V PEX 4K ohms...

FNIRSI HRM-10 Internal Resistance Detector AC Lead Acid Lithium Battery Tester Review on some testing of device

by sam_sam_sam

https://www.ebay.com/itm/405035016711

I got this device yesterday and did some testing on some tabbing and some incandescent light bulbs and it seems to work very well from what I can tell but how do I know how accurate the m-ohms section is what can I use to verify it accurately I also tested some li-ion battery cells and this seems to be fairly accurate because I have another tester and they seem to agree with each other

I also checked some capacitors with it that were brand new and seem to show about what I expected to see with my blue capacitor tester so I think it...

Lowest possible resistance on laptop motherboard rail - Guide Table request

by Nagy Daniel

Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm new to the world of repairing motherboards.

I would like to create a table, or more likely a guideline about the voltage rails and their possible resistance rail.

I know that the motherboard design has a very big depend on the rail's resistance, but I would like to know what is the smallest value for a rail that can be acceptable. For example, I heard that some new gaming motherboards can have 0,5 Ohm resistance on the GPU rail, but on an older type, it could be a sign of a shorted GPU rail.

So, I generated a table with AI so I can...

What is the lowest acceptable resistance on a coil without considering a short on PCB

by Jane

I have Asus FA506 ( board DA0BKXMB8D0 Rev: D). Can you please roughly indicate what the lowest resistance I should measure on a coil? I know that a low resistance is allowed on coils in CPU or graphic circuits but can you provide acceptable values of resistance?
Thank you.

645 G9 with Ryzen 5 PRO 5675U | Resistance to ground of CPU?

by loopster

Hello everyone, I have a 645 G9 here with a Ryzen 5 PRO 5675U.
This board has a blown inductor component above the driver chip to the CPU coil, and I am wondering whether the CPU is shorted/dead.

Could anyone please measure the resistance to ground on the leftmost coil/inductor to the CPU?
My resistance value is 2.2 Ohms, which doesn't look good to me.

Thanks to everyone willing to give a value.
