just did the vdroop mod...before it took 1.525 bios.which gave me 1.472 idle.1.448 running pi and was hitting 68-70c temps @ 3.6 on my xeon ( which will run 1.39 stable normally) ( i just started there to see the vdroop and temps)
now after the mod, and testing and adding a touch more pencil at each test, im @ 1.4 bios 1.4 windows @ idle, and 1.392 load both cores and temps now down to 54-56 load ( yea need to lap this one but im waiting on my 8400 first to take the system apart) thats a vdroop of only .008 load from bios, so it looks like it pays to pencil then test till ya get a really close vdroop to bios...cant wait to get the 8400 it will be here wed....
