Anyone got measured resistance before and after the vdroop mod so i know what to aim for?
Thanks

has anyone got better oc's by doing the pencil mod?
i am starting to lose faith in my 680i...
all i can get outta this is 400x8, which is barely stable
might have to move on to p35...

No love for you on the 680i either hey icon57? Its too bad because for what is supposed to be the premier Quad Core O.C board I was not impressed with mine!
I am getting my Abit IP35 Pro today I will let you know what I think of it, I mean for under $200.00 its a steal from what I can see and the amount of people that have great results with it in 98% that are happy at least.
D.F.I P35 is the way to go but you really cannot get it right now its in very high demand and no one is selling it ATM

i love my 680i, the only issue i have isthe multi reverts to 6x sometimes, but a restart fixes it, its quiet annoying tho.
sweet, im going to try the vdroop mod tonight. i have one of the worst boards for vdroop, bios > -0.05 in windows > -0.05 under load = a whole 0.1 off. I have to run 1.5v in bios to get 1.4v under load. this might give me stability above 3.6 ghz finally!
EDIT
has anyone measured their resistance with a multimeter? I see that it should be 100K after the pencil mod. Is the resistance higher or lower before the pencil mod?

yeah, its either my cpu, or the limits of the mobo...at this point, i am willing to bet its the mobo....No love for you on the 680i either hey icon57? Its too bad because for what is supposed to be the premier Quad Core O.C board I was not impressed with mine!

i am interested to see what your take is on the abit, i am watching that thread as well. i have not used abit since the max3 days of skt 478
i have really toyed with the idea of the gigabyte DS3, there is an open box on the egg for 121.00.
i think the p35 will be very short lived as we head into Q4, so i dont want to invest too much in it.

I have tried my Q6600 B3 & G0 on this board and it craps out at exactly the same points @ X9 & X8 Multi on both B3 & G0 chips so no doubt in my mind its the board for sure! Although I must admit its a hell of a great overclocker for Dual Core

I will have the IP35 Pro in a couple of hours and I have never owned a abit before well not a overclocking board at least.

About to do this mod, but can someone tell me how I can verify what model I have ? It says I need a 00 revision or whatever, I have the T1/A1 (same board), but I don't know anything about which revision. In CPU-Z, it says my board is A2 revision.
Did you try going straight to 3600mhz? There's some holes you have to jump over. Try 1.46vcore, 1.4v for FSB, then just go straight to 1600mh FSB (or 400FSB QDR) with a 9x multi. (watching temps of course)yeah, its either my cpu, or the limits of the mobo...at this point, i am willing to bet its the mobo....

Thats the latest revision. There are only two boards - AR/TR and A1/T1. The reference to '00' I think is D00. The earlier boards were C00 in reference to the first 3 letters on the serial next to the ram slots.
Gar and others, Do you know what causes the board (if it is teh Board) to change the muilti on its own. I have had the same thing happen, it would go from 6x when i checked it in windows, then another time while in bios it was at 8x. it was very confusing since i knwo i did nto change it, is there sum kind of auto multiplier? that maybe changes it depending on heat or how it feels, haha.
intel speed step
Naw dude, even with speedstep and rest of that junk disabled, it changes the multi sometimes and a restart is needed........hope a new bios will fix this.
lol, yes, i know all about the holes in the fsb...i can do 3.6 no prob, but not stable, and i have to use high volts, just to get me there...seems no matter what i tweak, i just cant get 100% stable on this mobo.

The V Mod worked perfectly on EVGA A1 680i. Droop has disappeared, just brushed over the points a few times, powered on, checked droop using speedfan. Brushed across a few more times - hey presto droop gone.
To get 400+ FSB sable I use the following volts
FSB 1.4
SPP 1.55
SPP-MCP 1.55
MCP 1.6
Using these settings I get my G0 Q6600 stable @3.8ghz using only 1.475v
Benchmarks here we come.
I have it on high authority that if a "Hello Kitty" pencil is used, you can expect an overclock of nearly 10% greater then that of a standard pencil.
I'm pretty sure it's a P30 bios issue. It never did that to me on any other bios.

thanks for the voltages! finally got mine 400+ fsb stable after two weeks of tweaking.

Ok guys, quick advice, go back to P28 bios......the multi dropping issue is gone.....3d is faster in CSS, and 3dmark......system seems to be smoother, wayyy smoother, man P30 bios stinks....P28 stable at 3.5ghz.
That's odd. I don't have that multi-dropping issue unless I turn on C1E/Speedstep, which I do anyways... if you turn off both C1E/Speedstep, it goes away... at least for me. *shrug*... but I leave my computer on all the time to upload/download crap, so powersavings is a welcome.
and I could get 3.8 on the P30.... though I'm waiting on the vdroop mod clarification than that should be help in achieving 4.0ghz
Ok guys here is a teaser of my CPU - if I just upgraded my CPU block from Storm to a DTek Fusion. Bios setting are as per the screenshot.

Ok, i'm about to do the vdroop mod. ANY #2 pencil is cool right? =| I heard it's suppose to be #2 HB, or is it the same thing? And can someone clarify, it looks like i'm drawing OVER the resistor??
