i wanna DFI again but they always come late.... make me wanna jump ship to asus already

Wah guys....going OT here already....

Anyway...do you guys know whats Vdroop actually....it has been discussed before....

Voltage set in bios and whats shown in windows doesn't really count as droop....

it's the drop of voltage during load rite?

Yes....droop is voltage difference between load and idle.

well the differences of vcore between bios and windows is not consider as vdroop....its more like a vcore inaccuracy to me....to get the exact vdroop its better to measure with a DMM on the mobo itself....u will see 3 different values usually..... bios, windows and DMM....DMM should be the most accurate ones.... and vdropp is measured during the fluctuation of idle and load....so u may wanna make 2 times of DMM reading...once during idle and once more during load...
thats my 2 cents correct if i m wrong

yes....you are right...software apps is just not the right choice to read voltages. Therefore i always use a DMM...meassure it directly on the mobo itself...and of course, get a reliable DMM. Just ignore the voltage set in bios for now. Measure the voltage in windows at idle and load....then u will see the droop.

it seems 99.9% of a P35DQ6 clone version eyy

layout look like P35DQ6 but bios is a lil different with more options....
dont like the ctrl+F1 function tho... very troublesome....sometime i tend to forget to set..

yeappo
the bios is different. but refer to review..
wtf CTRL + F1 again?

Wah, just back from low yat plaza yesterday, and saw 1 gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 from ALL IT Hypermarket.

Now u guy already have do so many things on this board.

I saw a Fatal1ty champion Aluminum casing (forget the product code) selling at ALL IT Hypermarket with RM1,799. Is that crazy too? LOL.

Forget that casing, it's just a marketing gimmick. That casing won't make your system fly. lol

sorry ure right its the correct terminology..

the bios reading is not inaccurate.. its the difference of reading from the voltage from the PWM to the I/O sensors on the CPU pin
hence different reading from PWM to I/O

vdroop is the difference in load vs idle...

the problem with such bios readings is.. its going to get worst as u volt higher and it will hit a limit.

the best way to read the vcore is via CPU proc Pin...

read via the cpu proc pin?....true but unlikely....just read from the caps or chokes....

i think the second board with x38 will be asus maximus eta next week...

well its actually from the caps.... its around the cpu socket but somehow i m not sure which is the correct one...need sifus to point it out

then DFI beat all the oc king mobo later on

Wowww...good review...
especially from newbie...

FYI Mr. Benny is not a newbie....if i remember correctly he start OC since 5 - 10 yrs ago...spoken to him during singapore competition... cant remember how long already

newbie pulak.
seems to me ure the newbie

jetkiat, you might want to google for the TS at Indo website. Then you will know who is him.. Haha..

Certainly not newbie.
