Also, what's you're NB voltage set at? I've heard the X38 barely needs any voltage compared to the 975x/P965 - I think I have mine on the first statically set option (1.20V?)

I also did the VDroop mod with a conductive pen - that may be a huge difference too.
You did the vDroop mod with a conductive pen? Just a blob of ink on the SMD? How is your vDroop now? Usually people stay away from conductive pens/paint for mods because they allow too much through the circuit...but if this works better?
