Hey Cob,

I'm not sure If I'm using the correct jargon but the only way I know of to counter vDrop is by vModding the board (or pencil mod).

example:

vDrop = Set 1.3000vCore in BIOS get 1.275vCore actual

vDroop= Set 1.3000vCore in BIOS get 1.275vCore actual but when CPU is under load this reduces to 1.250vCore

So in the second example if I used/enabled load-line-calibration/Voltage-Dampener I would get no droop under CPU load.

It's just that it appears some people are afraid to use this anti-droop feature? especially on their very shiny QX9650's etc. Is there some bad side effect of this feature that I am not aware?
