Official ASUS X38 Boards: P5E, P5E3 - Info/BIOS Thread

[Brahmzy]

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?

I have no VDroop now. I didn't have a 2B pencil on hand (only HB), so I decided to try my conductive pen and it's been rock solid. I of course disabled LoadLine option in BIOS. I haven't checked it with a mulitmeter (I have one, just don't know where to check it on the mobo )


Sparx - I have BIOS set to 1.425VCore and ProbeII shows 1.42VCore (can't display 3 after the decimal). I'd say things are right on.

Supposedly the dangers of the conductive pen are that a small overvoltage can occur, but at only 1.425 VCore, I'm far enough away from any danger zone. I usually never run more than 1.5VCore ever 24/7.
