Links for proof of this?
Loadline is supposed to ELIMINATE droop, not cause negative droop (or as you are describing it a voltage BULGE). Loadline is supposed to keep idle and load voltages very close to the same. Just like the pre-P4 cpu boards worked (e.g. Pentium 3/coppermine/etc, P2...)

Why do you think vdroop resistor and pencil mods were out for so long?

I know this. I do NOT wanna have to hard mod a 400 dollar motherboard. They need to caliobrate the calibration on their loadline trick in that BIOS.

Let's see a show of hands for who's on board with this. We got them to fix the TDP override. Let's see if we can get this one fixed too. I can start hunting for specs on every chip on that dang board and find the pins but it would take forever, and I really don't wanna go "old scool" on a board that costs this much. I don;t want that kind of negative loadline either though.

I'm getting rwady to do some testing now. If I can fix it, I'm gonna ahve to turn it off or downclock and neither of those are good choices, but I can't have that. My rig has some serious bucks tied up in it. It's not just the money, but the time spent testing and tweaking. I don't want it dead.

Just to clarify that. I don;t want a BIOS putting high juice to my 1000 dollar CPU! heh

Be back after awhile after I try to see what I can do about this as a workaround for the time being.
