I was playing around with my P5N32-E and 4300 and came across some interesting observations,

Ok now i set 1.3V in BIOS for Vcore.Booted into windows,checked Asus probe and i see 1.3V,interesting but nothing great,alright,maybe Asus fixed Vdroop in latest BIOS,who cares

Just to test stability @ 2.4GHz, i ran orthos and left it there.while killing some time on the PC doing nothing,i found something interesting, with full load Asus probe showed Vcore = 1.28V



I was like WTF ! This is a Asus Board and it must have massive Vdroop :P I monitored it for a good 15-20 mins and it didnt budge a little

Does this mean that with newer board revision and latest BIOS,Asus has solved the Vdroop issue or am i just jumping to conclusion too early



I am still on stock cooler so not going beyond 3G ,as Indian summers have just started and the temps are already hitting 40C

Settings -
Vcore in BIOS - 1.4V
Vcore in Windows - 1.39V
Vcore with Orthos Running - 1.38V

So Vdroop is still 0.02V Wooot !!!
here is a Suicide or quick shot though 3.4GHz

Temps were scary @ 3.4 so rolled back immediately.

Oh and btw,the stepping is Q641A373

Nothing more till i slap on my WC kit on after a few days.
