Vdroop is there to protect both the CPU and motherboard mosfets from from overshoots in load to idle transitions

Take for example, On the P35-DS3, the bios set voltage is the absolute max that the cpu will be fed considering from overshoot from load to idle transitions. That is why upon monitoring, the droop appears to be alot.

This implementation should be apparent in most motherboard that do not have load line calibration.

This "phenomenon" is there due to the current limitations of power delivery designs, as the capacitor and chokes feeding the cpu with power require a "split" second charge up, as well as discharge. It is also apparent in gpu's as well.


However, if you understand this and would still like to mod the board for a lower droop, all you need is a multimeter and a pencil

it means,

its there to protect your CPU and the mosfets from voltage spikes.

penciling to get a lower droop is not suicidal, just that it lowers the lifespan of the mosfets(quad cores and high speed cpus, oced, etc etc 4ghz >) /cpu (voltages exceeding 1.4v)

So it doesnt matter if the board is a DFI, asus ROG, or even a lowly ECS mobo, they all suffer from the same thing. no/less droop = less life span of both mobo and cpu.

good la, your spikes to the cpu wont go above your bios set voltage of 1.325v

technically, and theoretically, it prolongs the mobo mosfets and cpu life span. when I said technically, and theoretically, at least that is what it is designed to do



that is what ocing is all about

a balance

pencil

go take a close up pic of your buck phase PWM, its a small little black chip just above the ram slots or near that area, the chip is about smaller then a 1 sen coin


you need a multimeter for the next step after u get me the pics

come la, im at Petaling Jaya

later mamak fella wonder wtf are we doing, looking at mobo hahahah
