ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

Also would I be safe with a NB voltage of 1.56v with the stock heatsink?

I also get a massive vdroop when I stress test the CPU. Vcore goes from 1.425v to 1.36v :/

Reseat the NB with AS5 and you should be alright, if the MB temp start creeping up, just position a fan to blow across the stock heatsink and you'll be ight.

Mine drops from 1.36 to 1.31. Yours just seems to drop .15 less than mine. I'm not quite sure what's causing that though. You have a better power supply than I do, so I don't think it doesn't have enough power. Then again I don't know the normal power consumption of your specific processor.

My vdroop was pretty bad before i did the pencil mod. I used to have the vcore set to 1.45 just to get 3.2Ghz but now its set to 1.4 and i think i may be able to get it even lower.

I have heard about this pencil mod and even seen where the mosfet is located, but before I try it I'd like to know more about what it actually does. Has there been a particularly good explanation/post that you've seen that explains it in any level of detail? I'd also like to know why the resistance wasn't lower straight from the factory (there has to be some sort of safety/stability concern). I assume the graphite provides less resistance than the primary (normal) path, and that it bridges the connection, but then again I'm not sure how the mosfets work. Any info would help.

Congrats man!

Married life is the way to go...aside from taxes.

My wife and I are working on our 3rd month.

Earlier I posted that I was able to reach 400fsb on stock volts, but that has changed....

occasionally the computer freezed up (especially during gaming) but I upped the vcore to 1.35625 (just one notch) and all is well again...

EDIT: voltage is actually 1.35625

[Asce]

Ive manged to get a 375fsb at undervolted settings before, but its great knowing you can acheive that sort of OC before needing to change the voltage.

Yah gotta love this mobo+c2d..

I thought it was my gfx card at first lol. Hope that upping the vcore everynow and then doesn't become a trend for me

i have E4500 and now it is 2.82 and i want to test, where i can find Stability test
