WTF? ...pencil mode...i heart about pencil mode but i don't know what to do...help me a little...it's that safe ?Quote:

With my p5k vanilla I've been very pleased with the mod - a rock solid 1.32 nonfluctuating vcore idle thru load ( alittle less than set in bios).
With my ds3l the mod's been less that perfect but did help a little.
If you don't like it just unplug and clean it off with alcohol.
Ok, nice one, look here...the same one..Quote:

Explain me how you do this pencil mode...you need something to measure voltages or what...how ? :confused:
Just a #2 pencil - 4-5 hard swipes over the resistor - I'm too lazy for a meter.Quote:

Add a little more swipes if you need it - retest.
When you are happy seal with a small drop of finger nail polish "dropped" on not "brushed" on to seal the graphite. :up:
OMG...i hate english sometime's :D...you speak in terms that i don't know...i need to translate what you say to understund :DQuote:

I think you're at your limit.Quote:

No, regular #2 pencil.
Shade the surface - that's all.
Turn off eist, speedstep technology, and thermal throttling in bios.
Enable voltage dampener in bios.
That's it. If it doesn't help, sorry. Works for other people though.
Ok, i will try again...but what you mean a regula #2 ? what mean's #2 ?...atach a picture with the pencil please.Quote:

My E8400 and EP35-DS3L lets me do 9.5 multiplier for tuning (adds 0.5 mult), is that better than using default 9 for E8400, since you don't have to raise FSB as much?
#2 is a standard issue pencil that says #2 on the side.
EIST = Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology
CPU thermal throttling should be there I think.
Good luck.
Try reading the p5kc thread - it will help:

OMG i love u man :ROTF:...now look at this !Quote:

That's incredible !!!...for 1.24 UNDER LOAD to 1.344 !!!!! WOW !!!...can i shade it more ? :D
I clean it with alchool before and the i pencil it 4-5-6 times...now i play a little more and then i must know how i seal it ...?
But now i have a problem...i can run 4GHZ with 1.35 bios but my temp are sky high !...because now it's reading the real Vcore...that's bad :haha:
Edit: I low the Vcore again at 1.32 BIOS, again the system is stable, i cannot belive what the pencil mode can do !...that's incredible...now i have @ 68 degres under load running Small FFTs...i try to lower the Vcore more...cya.
Edit: I low the Vcore again at 1.30 BIOS, again the system is stable, i low again, brb :D
I know you guys are jealous . . . :rolleyes:

This is about four hours orthos stable. The actual BIOS vCore is 1.565v. I'm trying to get it rock solid without upping the vCore anymore, but at this point I might as well give it 1.6v and call it a day . . . or a chip. I'm still holding by my belief that these chips can handle more voltage than we all suspect. I think the initial degradation period/burn-in period has caused some to conclude that higher voltages will degrade chips. While I'm not saying that electromigration won't occur at higher voltages, I just don't think that it is as drastic as everyone fears.
Time to sell that chip on ebay after you "pretest it" for "3.6ghz stability on stock volts!" :up:Quote:

i dont think jealous is the correct term. maybe CURIOUS, as to why it so high to just reach 4.0ghz..you have a awsome board and should need that much voltage. my POS mobo dont have half the goodies your's have and it only takes 1.36v for me to get 4.0ghz but i cant get any higher
even 1.36 is really high imo it takes me 1.268 to do 4.0
Today i stop here...THE PENCIL MODE HAS WORK PERFECTLY.
Without Pencil mode i run 4GHZ with the following settings:
1.37 BIOS
1.31 IDLE
1.24 UNDER LOAD
That was before i pencil mode the board...look at the Vdrop / Vdroops that i have...
With Pencil mode:
1.27 BIOS from 1.37
1.25 IDLE from 1.31
1.24 UNDER LOAD same without pencil
Thank's a lot man, i appreciate, i try to get better performance tommorow, tx again :cool:..and the temps are better...that's awesome
