Gigabyte EP45T DS5

Hey guys

I have this board here since when P45 hit the market, for review. As it is a very early sample it has some problems which I think that could be fixed. The major problem is that I cant change vcore on BIOS, just on windows with software. The vcore is always around 1.15~1.20v. Another problem is that vdrop is damn big! I set 1.6vcore which results in 1.53v (idle) and 1.49v~1.50v (load).

So I'm looking for the vcore and vdrop mod for this board.

Now you should be asking "why he needs this for such a board"? Easy, I can get less than 45.1k pp at 4Ghz with E8600 and can also bench 1M at 600FSB on air.

So now lets show the picture, if you guys need more just let me know and I will take :)

and this one has already some values for the vdrop mod. Peter (Nosfer@tu) helped me out to find these things, so now what to do?
