I'm pretty sure there's no pencil mods for any of the GA-X38 boards.

That sucks the vdroop on mine is bad like, .1v so, I say give it 1.35v and it gives it 1.25v.. with loadline enabled yes. I got the fans for my beast last night I got a spot cool for my memory and a little powerfull quiet fan for my chipset and a new more powerfull fan for the side of my case " that makes like ten fans in her now lmao" and was able to run prime95 all night with the following settings, 450x 8 = 3.6Ghz , CPUv 1.35v actuall 1.25v, fsb term +.1 and nb +.3 and PCIEv +.2. I would say at this point I should be able to get 3.8Ghz easy,, and possibly even 4ghz.Some one really needs to figure out how to do a vdroop pencil mod on his thing tha would be sweet.

Very nice indeed, I only have a V1 on my CPU and 2 120mm TT fans and the side of my TT shark case has some open mesh and things are very fine.

I would like to push it to 3.8 but with the current hot weather it's impossible for a 24/7 Machine.......

Good news is the vdroop is only really bad under load conditions
when it's idle it's not too bad,
so try not to run any games or demanding apps and it should be ok

But seriously folks, vdroop is the only gripe I have left for my x38-dq6
apart from that the board is sweet after a dozen or so bios revs.

Finally, I have seen a proper mod for the vdroop for my board, maybe there's one for the ex38 as well if you feel confident to try it, I wasn't game.

Nope I agree, I'm not game for all that work lmao. I seen wires and and was like ha nope. I have her at 470 x 8 right now though on a good note. I just ran through prime95 at 465 x 8 so

Vdroop on my ga-x38-dq6 with loadline calibration activated is only 0,01v ( full load ) .... pretty fine!
