@gsan,

the vdroop for this mobo+Q6600 GO, about 45mv.

setting 333X3 to 3ghz, 1.26V, ram at 5-5-5-15 1000mhz 2V,
idle 1.26v load 1.215v.
i test the q6600 up to 3.2Ghz , p95 for 30minutes, even the vcore drop till 1.215v, still no errors.

so, any others with quad core come share your vdroop issue.

rgds,
albert

what is the vcore reading in bios? 1.26v too?

mine is also like urs...vdroop around 45 - 50 mV...need to get the exact figure later. btw, how's ur vdrop? mine like another 35-40mV...so basically once the quaddie is on load, the vcore dropped around 80 - 90mV compared to what i've set in BIOS...really not good.

why the vdroop so high ar ??

dude ure vcore is worrying..
get a voltmeter..
and find a vdroop mod.

r u referring to me?
well...i'm gonna try to plug in the extra power into the mobo...the FDP one and see how.
btw...havent found any mod yet...maybe the model is too 'young'...

hey help me to oc my E2160 hehe
im a very noob on ocing
last time use asus quite easy now use dfi all the setting seems to be on manual
even the ram oc T_T

mmm...sorry la bro;change of plan...all the sudden, the stock got rembat by some other supplier, so my seller could not get any stock...so, sleeping with my quaddy la tonite

what proc cooling do u all recon ? i found on xigmatek pretty good !
and so is thermalright ultra 120 XD !

both are good hsf...but for xigmatek, try to replace the push-pin (really hate it! ) with the spring loaded bolts like the one used with Ultra 120.

Picture tells it all.

... nice pic and it really tells it all.
love that one...but i think i'm gonna put one 20cents coin between the bracket and the heatsink...just to make it tighter...experimenting!!!

lol .. envy u all la .. i wanna get that but no more stock edy T.T !

Tuniq Tower 120 or Xigmatek SHDT1283,both is good,as good as Ultra 120.More value for money when compare to Ultra 120

BTVX FTW!

read the preview, its beat all the expensive HSF

A little outta topic here... thou still related to the same board anyhow (cause I'm using it )

I just bought a 500GB Seagate 7200.11 32MB SATA II HDD and currently running on UDMA Mode-5 (ATA-100) as showed by my system device properties. I running WinXP and BIOS SATA mode: IDE. Someone told me I could run it at UDMA Mode-6 (ATA-133) if I select BIOS SATA mode: ACHI. However, doing so will need to reformat the Windows and also installing a SATA driver before installing the OS. My Floppy Disk Drive "kaputed" and taken out . Any recommendation? Or just continue with UDMA Mode-5?

My first time playing with SATA II. Sorry for my noobness ...

what is vdroop? hmm.. is it voltage after load that been measure? btw, this some link i found.. but i still dont understand..

http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=126

those reading are all from cpu-z and mobo utilities.

i try get the bios vcore later.
