The pencil P35 DS3R vdroop mod DOES NOT work. I did it last night and my volts tanked!!!! Normal 1.35 became 1.22 and load was 1.04v. I lost stability at stock settings... remove the mod and its running 3.6 @ 1.525, 1.44 actual now.


Sucks cause I wouldn't have ordered this board if I had known the vdroop mod didnt work.


EDIT - in fact just to test it again today. I made 1 swipe with #2 pencil. Booted up, voltage dropped from 1.49v to 1.44v idle at the 1.525v setting. Under load 1.44 dropped to 1.37 and the machine froze. SO, the pencil mod VR-Zone is touting actually LOWERS your voltage!!!!!!!!

I would be tempted to email them and tell them your findings.

I already did... I just dont want others to do it and screw up something...or just have stability issues and unknowingly think it's the board. I havent gotten a reply yet.
