Thanks guys; this makes me much more comfortable about using them. As usual, you guys are the best! :toast::rocker:

Thanks, pwolfe - I appreciate it. My fans run at 4 watts each, so hopefully its not too much power for the resistors (which I think are something like 50 ohms). I believe 4 watts translates into...

Thanks for the replies. No, the resistors don't get hot. I am unsure what resistors are placed inside the Noctua Low Noise Adapters, though.

pwolfe,

You used the resistors in multiple...

I am not using the Low Noise Adapter cables for my Noctua heatsink, but I want to use them with my case fans (Cooler Master R4-L2R-20CR-GP). My only concern is the Noctua fans that come with the...

^ I agree, which is why I am waiting to see some "professional" reviews/tests. I look forward to it.

Hmm..only one intake fan bothers me, but I'll wait to find out what the thermal tests show before I draw conclusions. I don't water cool (for now), so airflow is important to me.

Other than my...

That's a great looking case!

Have any thermal tests been run/compared to other popular chassis?

Oh - haha, my fault. I thought Computex was this weekend. Sorry.

So...any updates and "official" pictures?

L640A - hit 3.0Hz before having to up vcore from 1.325. Need 1.55 to maintain orthos stability at 3.4GHz.

These new batches stink! I wish I would have jumped on the bandwagon earlier.

I purchased the eVGA 680i Rev. A1 and have issues that no one over at the eVGA forums seem to care about. I even e-mailed their tech guys and have received no response. Due to my experiences with...

The vdroop mod works, I can vouch for it. I am stable at 3.4 using 1.55 vcore now instead of having to use 1.625.

So your vcore is set to 1.5 in the bios? Ouch...yeah, that's a pretty bad droop IMO, almost as bad as my Asus Commando (before the pencil mod).

I wouldn't crank the voltage to 1.7 and hope that...

I think 8 hours is the common stability number, but I honestly don't know for sure. Some say 24 hours is the only way to tell, and yet even some say 72 hours. Who really know!? :D

All I want...

You are the man! Thanks a lot! :toast:


Thanks for the info - that sucks! I wonder if they have released a bios fix for it by now?

would you mind linking me the info on how to do it? I did it on my commando and it was like I had gotten a new processor (that's how much better things are). It as simple as the commando pencil...

Agreed. Would you mind using speedfan to monitor vdroop? Just run orthos while speedfan is running and watch the vcore to see if it drops. If it does, could you please specify how much?
...

I am starting to sound like a broken record now, but I will ask anyway... so does that mean that vdroop isn't that bad at all on the eVGA 680i mobos?

Yes, I have posted the same question like a...

congrats! How bad is the vdroop on that board?

blind ripper (or anyone who can help), what is the vmod for the new A1 revision? I have one of those boards on the way to me now so I would love to know how bad vdroop is and what the vdroop mod is....

Does anyone know what the vdroop is like with the eVGA 680i boards, specifically the Revision A1 mobo?
