Have you tried overclocking a quad on I35pro? This review wich was released just yesterday believes that the Vdrop/Vdroop is pretty bad when you try overclocking a quad core on that board. My curent board has its own Vdrop/Vdroop but it's not nearly as big as what is shown in that review. In fact I am pretty satisfied with the Vdrop/Vdroop of P35-DQ6 it's pretty slight and has not caused me any troubles wich again makes me think why such a perfect high quality board should be plagued with this annoying pcie issue .Seems like every board has its own achilles heel.
Seems like a quad will cause 2x the vdroop a dual core chip does on these boards. Makes sense double the cores, double the droop.
