Anyone attempted the vDroop mod using a pencil ?

yep just sold the middle leg and one of the outer legs of the variable resistor to each of those points making sure that the resistance between the two legs is 1Kohm before hand.
As for pencil mods I'm no fan of them due to them being really unstable and inaccurate - this is a low resistance mod is its best to do it right!
Thats correct.
A quote from Michael Hyatt
"Pulse-width modulation of a signal or power source involves the modulation of its duty cycle, to either convey information over a communications channel or control the amount of power sent to a load.
The temps vary according to the amount of power being used and/or how well they are cooled. (none of mine are above 40*C, but they are extremely well cooled) 50~60*C is safe; 60~75*C is warm and acceptable to some; anything above that, and I think they are too hot and you had better consider improving your (case) cooling."

thanks for posting that mod.
at least i have an idea now.
anyone hear of news on upcoming bios releases btw? I have b04 right now. Im hoping they includ a vdroop regulation option like in the p5k.
i had a p5kdlx, but returned it. board was not stable with my rams, i did like that feature though

Wish I had the skills and know-how for that mod.
Just had a look inside the case, and that area you've posted is minuscule.
Can I take it that the resistor would be something like this

Any photos of the finished mod? Maybe able to take it in and get it done by someone who does know how.
Is that something that could be done just in a bios mod?anyone hear of news on upcoming bios releases btw? I have b04 right now. Im hoping they includ a vdroop regulation option like in the p5k.

DDR2 Reference Voltage
CPU GTLREF 0-3?
VTT and MCH seems to be the most significant.
Upping VTT a bit with my quadcore has increased stability a bit, or should I say given me a few extra minutes before prime failure.
MCH You up when going for higher FSBs(I think I'm right in saying that). Also of note the higher the MCH value the more volt options in the VTT, so I presume the increases should go hand in hand.
ICH I leave as is
ICHIO Same really. Maybe just a nudge up
CPU GTLREF
Read this
http://sg.vr-zone.com/?i=4409&s=7
In theory these settings should have a significant effect on the FSB you can reach. It's a percentage of the VTT. A quadcore requires a different percentage for instance to a dualcore. The aim is to find the sweet spot with this setting(As the article says)
In practice it doesn't seem to be too effective on this board, so around default is the way to go.
As I say, non expert advice. Expert advice hopefully to follow

Your advice is appreciated, as for your vmod, the pentiometer you listed will work fine, I get my supplies at my local radioshack

Really need help with this Pro mobo. Can´t get past 480fsb nomather what voltage i set. Using the B04 bios and a E6850 G0.
Have active fans to pwm and mosfets. This mobo should do over 500 fsb what i´ve seen. And caan someone explain what the CPU GLTREF 1-4 do for fsb. What % should i choose ?

This page shows the use of them in practice with a DFI board

However as stated they don't seem to be amazingly effective on this board.

VTT - the CPU->NB interconnect voltage
MCH - Northbridge, you may need to up this a couple notches
ICH - soutbridge leave at stock (southbridge controls disks and other IO)
ICHIO - southbridge related as well, leave
DDR2 Ref - ??
CPU GTLREF- don't know how to explain in a concise way, here's a link http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=87
Thanks for clearing that up you guys, any info on the DDR2 Ref. Voltage?
Had to up my vcore and MCH a little to hit 3.52 stable (not sure which was the culprit), with vdroop my vcore is still under stock

For goodness' sake, don't try a mobo volt mod without a lot of practice. Here are some tips. 3 sec too long with the tip too close to the board, and pow, you may have a new door stop.

Hi,
I am about to pull the trigger on this build. I wanted to post it for a sanity check and make sure I am not overkill on the memory...and that the Tuniq will fit the board ok without any modification. Hoping for a decent overclock, but nothing crazy.

The memory is fine, I have that kit but have not tested it much, but from what I can gather it does 800/1000 speeds with ~1.8v
The build looks good overall
Could someone recommend safe voltages for the options in BIOS? (mch, even vcore, etc)
