This is also why I mentiioned pencilmod may work, however it truly depends which is default mode...8-phase or 4-phase...and I can tell you based on behavior that it's not 8....but if it was, then i think we'd not have these issues, with droop-mod in place.

One good thing about it tho is that I won't be killing any more ASUS boards with quads....new P5K-pro(p35) has EPU as well...so may be a "new" standard feature from now on.
Lol, my bad! Ok then, does anyone have the white papers on the EPU chip? So we can learn how to force it into 8Phase mode?
