So i want to do the pencil mod on my evga 780i. I found this thread with a picture.

The thing is that im not sure where i need to pencil in. Should it just be where the red dots on the picture or is it across the entire resistor?

I also found this other picture on how to do it but it has three places where to do the pencil mod. Now im even more confused

In the first picture, you have to shade several lines across the entire resistor. In the second picture, it's between the 2 red x's on the same resistor as the first picture.

its the same thing. The red dots show the resistor ends that you have to connect with the lead. So just shade 3-5 strokes accross the top, connecting the red dots.

Use the first picture and shade the one labeled Vdroop.

Remember to use a 2B pencil

its good stuff i pencil modded my 780i and it took my vdroop from .8 to .01 but i shaded it hard the whole thing and for about 2 min. of good ole fashion elbow grease used alot of graphite.

lol u did it that much?

well i want to do this pencil mod w/my motherboard running so i can watch the vdroop decreases, do i just open up CPUid and watch the volts till it stops moving around?

Here's what I did:
Takes some bawls, but, not too risky!
Booted to Windows
Kicked on task manager performance monitor
activated Cpuid
Watched voltage
ran Folding smp to tax both cores to 100% (and watched performance monitor to make sure)
Noted the voltage drop in Cpuid
stopped F@H
*While the computer was still running*, did a couple of strokes of pencil mod!
turned on F@H again
noted voltage drop was less in cpuid
repeated until I saw 0 zero Voltage drop from idle to 100%
(actually I overshot, and actually had voltage go up under load!
so I just erased a little off
Now I have absolutely no vdroop, none, nada!

Hope you get the same results
Cheers

[edit] Raffy Yes that's how you do it! (simultaneous post LOL)(well yours says 2 minutes ago, Mine says 3, yet it's after yours- Jeez I hope OCN isn't starting to do THAT again!)
[edit II] Now teh times have changed again Wot the eff)

Umm.. what's a pencil mod? :O

Domino

A pencil mod is where you use the graphite of the pencil and use it to make transitors bigger. You know how videocards say they have 1000 million transistors, etc, well, if you shade them all together you can make a videocard with 1 giant transistor that make the videocard run ridicously fast. :O

Plus, if you colour your CPU with pretty pictures, like with clouds and flowers, you can actually see a 400 MHz overclock via pencil mod. This makes your CPU happy and thus liking you, allowing itself to be overclocked more.

ooooohhhhhh, jk, it has something to do with lowering resistance and uping voltages to overclock higher/provide better/stable results??????
