hey all!

i just ordered me some new watercooling toys to play with and when they come in i want to disassemble everthing so i can start all over again.
since i want to oc the heck out of my cpu i could use every volt i can get through it, but i can`t find any pic/how-to/tut for the Asus Commando

has anybody done this before or does anyone have a pic of it?

help would really be appreciated

there already a few posts on OCN for correcting Vdroop on the asus commando. Theres a non- solder method and a soldering method. J ust do a search on the "commando" and "vdroop." If you cant find it, then i can help you out with my own pics.

ok thanx!
found me some "guides" so that should work.
but...i just found out that my vcore (when set @ 1.35v in bios) just 1.32v in windows XP idle...and only 1.29v stressed
how bad is that? really bad...or normal?

that sounds fairly normal to me. What you set in the bios won't be what you see when you are reading off voltage sensing software on your OS. I would trust CPU-z's reading. As for that Vdroop it can be a stability problem. The easiest fix for that is the pencil Mod. I've done it and id have to say it helps.

unfortunatly i can`t find a good pencil for the vdroop-mod yet
so if there are any dutchies in here that know what store sells nice soft pencils (i normally never write...just type )

or is it possible to solder instead of pencil the board?
that would be sweet and instantly-do-able

you can solder a vdroop mod on the commando but you will lose warranty! why risking that if a pencil can do the job?

here are some pics for the vdroop mod on the commando:

you can look onto this guide! its for P5B series but the P5B Dlx and the commando are nearly the same

because i don`t have the good pencil
i only have a 4b pencil...and it won`t leave a residu (or whatever it`s called in english) on the board

ow and just to be sure...i should use the softest pencil i can find...and pencil the contactpoints of that "thingie" and nothing else right?
(just to be sure)
