Evga 680i a1 vdroop mod question - Page 2 - Overclock.net

I did the vdroop mod, but I have a problem. My settings are at stock, my vcore at 1.2625. No matter how much I shade it won't go up to 1.26.
Should I wipe off and try again? How exactly?

Any ideas guys?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong....

I cant get past 1.24 and sometimes when I start up after trying again the BIOS resets itself!

Please help!

Maybe I'm not shading enough? I shaded pretty well...... I don't really know

I have the same problem, but don't worry about it, mine is .01 volts under my set vcore, it wont make of a difference anyways just try and get it as close as possible, it won't necessarily be perfect.

.02 is still not as good as I expected, I guess I'm just stuck with that?

What the shading of the resistor is supposed to do is reduce the drop in votage to the CPU when it is put under load. It does also bring the vcore up closer to what it is set at in the bios. To test how well the vdroop is working, just open CPU-Z (ver 1.41) or speedfan, then open Prime 95 or Orthos and see how much the vcore drops under load (when Prime 95 or Orthos is running).

Good Luck.

it doesnt drop anymore it actually goes up a small amount bringing it closer to its set value under load

Yeah mine does that too at voltages under 1.35v, abouve that and it doesnt move at all. That can be dangerous if you have your CPU at the maximum voltage it can handle (above 1.5v can be dangerous for the CPU). You can clean the resistor with alcohol and a Q-tip and try with less shading, but I cant guarantee it will stop. I myself only did 3 traced with a No. 2 pencil, maybe 2 would work better. It doesnt affect me much because I only run at 1.42v vcore max.

Mine doesn't change at all, which is good. But it's still .02 from the BIOS vcore, according to CPU-Z/Speedfan.
