i installed the E8400 tonight and 1.376v idle = 1.344v load :(
almost the same vdroop as Q9550

there is no any v-drop mod for this mobo ?
Can anyone tell me what this mosfet (circled red) feeds? Cos it (and the undersurface of the mobo below it) are running really hot.

Would it be worth buying the DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS when I already have an Abit IP35 Pro being RMA'd? Would it be a better board for OC'ing? I know somebody that will import it from america (newegg) for me but I will have to pay for customs.
Passed >4h of Prime95 Small FFTs with my old L722A Q6600 at 1.44v 9 x 400FSB (shows chip OK) but just couldn't go over a mere 40mins of Blend without system rebooting. Dropped one multiplier to 8x with same settings (shows mobo/RAM settings OK) and it clears, obviously the onboard 4 phase supply can't supply stable enough to keep both chip and mobo happy at the same time or can there any other possible reason/s?
Using a newish Corsair 620HX.
NB cooling ?
edit : only a 120mm @ 800rpm over the NB/RAM gave me 22-24c less on the NB (AND the stock cooler on the Q9550 is temporary...the tuniq doesn't fit)
Overall cooling is a must, I got a 120mm for the PWM/RAM/NB and another 120mm at the base for the SB area and I'm just OCing mildly for now... :D :up:
Got a reboot after 3.5 hours of Prime. bummer.
I used the same settings as with the 475*8 run, only this time I changed back to 423*9.
Sometimes, I got reboots after 30 minutes of Prime.
Maybe it might be a heat issue with the NB and PWM's, as they got over 70°.
Placed a 80mm right before the NB, and temps went down to low 40's, but still got that reboot after 3.5hours.
I just received my DFI UT35, gonna give that one a try.(unless you want me to have another go).
I think the DK will go in another rig, along with a E6750.
No problem.
I don't know why I get these reboots, not even a BSOD or so. Just hard reboots.
I was suspecting my memory (2Gb Ballistix PC8500) with even at 333/667 mem divider, I got these reboots.
Also keep in mind that I'm running my quad at 3.8Ghz, which might be a little to much for this board.
Same thing I got with my Q6600@3.6 doing Prime95 Blends, sudden system reboots when Small FFTs clears over 4hrs without problems, see post #184 above.
The stock NB sticker/wty issue is a PITA since NB temps are uncomfortably high with overvolted quads.
Indeed, those spots (NB and PWM's) need some good active cooling.
Regarding the Tuniq Tower and the p35 dark. I had to mount it exhausting up instead to back of the case.
