Just a quick followup

Power slope adds a small bump in vcore at a given bios setting..sort a in between value...does nothing for vdroop

Values tested with DMM

No power slope
Bios setting.....Bios reading......winxp idle/load........DMM idle/load
1.525v ........1.511-1.523.....1.51-1.52v/1.51......1.47/1.46

Power slope on
Bios Setting......Bios reading......winxp idle/load.......DMM idle/load
1.5375 ............1.54v ...........1.55-1.54..........1.49v
1.5625 ............1.57v ...........1.57v/1.56v.......1.52v/1.51v

I used Speedfan to report idle/load winxp pro values(everest is the same)

@1.5375 P95 blend failed immed and I could not get a load temp..I was using blend....
@1.5625 P95 blend generally gave a load 1.52 with a few at 1.51v..small fft gave 1.56v

So Powerslope seems to give a bit more juice and vdroop ON MY board with bios 2333 is excellent at .01(better than Intel specs? of 0.02-0.05)

But my bios reports vcore much higher than actually..typically .05v close to what Rick fx saw way back in the thread

Also the software programs seem to pull data very accurately from the bios ..they read the same

So if you have a DMM measure the vcore if you can...others have reported only .01-.02 difference between bios and actually values
