I'm getting .1 v vDroop at idle -
1.48 set in BIOS, 1.47 reported. will stabalize under load though.


I know a lot of people are probably holding out for a Quad core 45nano, but has there been any testing of the E8400 on this board? What clocks / temps are people getting?

.01 you mean?

Thats not bad at all.

From waht I have seen from other sites, the e8400 plays just fine on it.

Yes, I sure did. Spent WAY too much time trying to read things to small for my 38 year old eyes. Anyway, I did manage to score a pretty decent E8400. Going by the idea in another thread, going for wafer number, my last 2 digits are 03. Microcenter let me pick through their selection until i found something I liked. Of course, they all knew "batch number" but i guess their employees aren't big XS readers.
Anyway, I'm still adjusting motherboard voltages to peg down a stable overclock. I can Prime, and I can SuperPI, but running 3DMark 06 sometimes throws it for a loop. I've only got a pair of old eVGA 8800GTX SLI'd up at the moment.

So, with this vDroop pencil mod - are you folks just layering the pencil lead on that resistor, or are you going back and making an ohm reading and trying for a spefic impedance? So far, I've just layred the stuff on there......
