Default Got my new p6n sli-fi

I got my new p6n sli-fi in today, it has a ton more features than my ds3r did. I can run the ram unlinked, and it has sli. Unfortunately, it has the same damn vdroop that my ds3r did. .055 volts. The ds3r had a vdroop mod, but it doesn't work. This board, however, lets me clock to the same speed I had before at a lower voltage. I set voltage to 1.5v in the bios so that it will be 1.475 in windows because of a .025 initial vdroop. Then, under load, it drops to 1.44. Either way, at 1.44v it's still stable with an overclock to 3.3 GHz. It's a good board and supports sli, so i'm keeping it. Because of restocking fees and shipping fees and such, getting this board actually will cost me another 10 bucks, not a biggie though. Anyway, the reason i'm posting in this section is this. Does anybody know where I can find a vdroop mod for the p6n sli-fi or p6n platinum? They're pretty much the same board, so the mod should be the same.

I probably should have just bought the p5n-e in the first place. Oh well.

Theres a fsb hole between 1500-1700 apparently. That may be holding me back, maybe if I change the multiplier to 8 I can get a better oc. I'm going to try and work out a better oc sometime next week. Need to get ready for a new year of college this week.

I've been reading around that this board has very little vdroop. So showing the same amount of vdroop as my old board is weird, that means that the reason for the vdroop could be the fsb wall. I'm going to set my fsb over 1700 tommorrow and see if I can get past that wall.

I'm going to try an 8x multi with 1752 fsb.
