wombatman · 12-18-2005, 09:08 PM

I'm saying the voltage drops by 1/10 of a volt when put under load. This is a known issue with some of the Asus boards. It's not a power supply issue (I actually bought a new one).

The main reason I'm even thinking about doing this mod is that to deal with the major voltage drop. I've got the processor overclocked from 3.2 to about 3.7, and I should only need to set the voltage to about 1.46 or 1.47 (not exactly certain). To actually accomplish this under load, though, I have to set the VCore much higher in the BIOS to account for the voltage drop. This tends to cause higher temperatures than are necessary (although they only get to about 62 degrees Celsius or so, which is well within operation spec).
