As supplied in the DFI Dark thread and now for quick reference for anyone looking here is the vdroop pencil mod for the DFI LP DK P35-T2RS. There are many more pictures regarding where to measure volts for dimms, vcore etc at the main link below.

Hey chef, have you done it yourself personally...? I mean does it really work.

So to do it... we just draw a line connecting those two solder points? Does it matter what kind of pencil it is? Thanks, i'm a noob at this ;D

No however Autotech claims to have done it.

Yes the kind of pencil does matter. Each pencil has a stepping number (lol) which can be found here. I remember reading somewhere that 6B+ are the best for these types of applications as there is enough graphite in them to create a stable bond between electrical components.

I will be trying this out when my new NB heatsink arrives on the 1st.

Oh fun!!! Just did this vdroop mod and it certainly does work!

Previous volts: 1.440 dropped to 1.375
Current volts: 1.440 drops to 1.408

MUCH better!

Pencil used: #2 aka HB which is the standard American pencil

Same here, works perfect! I can say that CPU-Z reports the same voltage while idling and @ %100 load.

It was my very first volt mod attempt on a motherboard period. And I can say that it was fairly easy. I was pretty scared to get started at first but once I placed the pencil on the side, I felt that it was pretty solid and all you have to do is go back and forth a couple of times without applying too much pressure to get the job done. Remember to gently blow away from the middle of the motherboard towards the mod area to get rid of excess pencil residue.

p.s: A magnifying glass may come handy for those with not so great eye-sight. The picture does no justice. Those little guys are actually 1/3 size of a rice grain. Also, make sure the #2 pencil is sharpened all the way. I preferred to randomly scratch on a piece of paper for 3 seconds to get a smoother point prior to mod'ing.

Good Luck!

I tried this and it didn't work and just tried again still no change.
