I have just built a system from odds & sods laying around and purchased a Asus P5QPL-AM Mobo only problem is VDrop & VDroop on the cpu voltage
I have a Q6600 running at 2.77Ghz because of the problem, the chip needs 1.35V to be stable at 3.2Ghz but the board at Idle Give 1.352V & Load 1.248!!!
I cant find any mods anywhere, can anyone help??
Looking at the wimpy 3-phase VR layout that this board uses, I'd say the following:
Back down your overclock, run the CPU at stock and maybe even undervolt it.
There is a reason why the regulator gives in so much under load with your current settings. Pushing this board any further won't be healthy (at least for the board).
If you really need to push that CPU then get a board that is suitable for the job. This one clearly isn't, unfortunately.
