Vdroop is good and not an issue. I was able to overclock my C0 to 4.2Ghz at a lower voltage than I was on my EVGA Vanilla board. Overall it's a great board and a new bios will be enabling PCIe adjustment and the ability to go beyond the 222BCLK wall. Check out the Foxconn BR thread for more details.
Technically we don't even have official word on that. The guy that posted that stated he worked for Foxconn, so if we assume that is true then we have to believe his statement:
"ok a bios will be out soon that will give pci-e freq
and after that they be one to go above 220bclk
plus i know there be a lot more fixes comming
so wait and see"
This leads me to imply that they are working on it assuming this guy does work for Foxconn. It would be nice to get confirmation, but until then we have to take it for what it's worth.
I will try and see if I confirm that Lord Trident is working for Foxconn.
Thanks.
