Hola all,
I bit the bullet and carried out the droop mod on my P4C800-E. Had big trouble getting the solder to stick to the teeny resistor then gave up and realised that the "macci" way of attatching the wire was much easier.
I have the trimmer set to 28k (Before attatching it to the board) and everything has fired up OK.
The question I have is - Is it normal for the actual core voltage to be much lower than the BIOS setting ? I originally had 1.675 - wich dropped to 1.47ish.
I guess adding the extra resistance lowers the actual v's, but I just want to be sure I didnt destroy the baby resistor when I was trying to attach it there !!!
Im at 1.78 now to give me 1.632.
Thanks in advance,
Brett
PS. Sorry for the triple post.
