Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

I second the vdroop issue. I wish they would make vcore bios = vcore idle = vcore load.

This is a common mistake. Vcore bios=Vcore idle (Vdrop) is a good thing, ok. But Intel specification claiming that the Vcore idle is bigger than the load (Vdroop), for safe run of the chip. I seem to remember that AnandTech strongly discouraged in an article using loadlines in 45nm dual o quads cores, i.e. It´s an ideal exact amount of Vdroop, but not 0. Vdrop=0 is ok.
Already with my new EX58, with all his capacitors in his right place
