Hi everyone ! I just ordered this board and i'm now a bit concerned about the vdroop of this board since i saw a lot of comments on forums. I looked on google for long hours but still can't find anything. Did anybody did a pencilk mod on this board and if not do you think it has the same layout than the EP35-DS3R for witch i already have found a valuable pencil mod ?

Well, i got the board and some numbers now.
Vcore bios-1.3000 V
Vcore cpuz idle -1.264 V
Vcore cpuz idle -1.232 V
Everest and OCCT read the same voltages than cpuz. My 8400 is at 3.6 ghz orthos and OCCT stable. Is there any need to have a volt mod on this beacause i have a vdroop of .068 V ? Temps are somewhat fine, 35 idle and 48 full load in a 26 C room.

Can anybody tell me if those numbers are something to worry about or i can just let it run like that ?

That's a big drop, but if it works, then I wouldn't bother.

i have similar number.
in the BIOS : 1.324v
on cpu - z idle : 1.264v
on cpu - z : 1.226v
seems stable. so i won't try anything funny.

in the bios if its set to 1.324v, it wont hit that voltage until u put a load on the cpu, the vcore will decrease when idle. thats my understanding anyway.
open cpuz, resize firefox so u can see cpuz, and load a few firefox windows, the vcore should climb. i just did it, and it climbed in cpuz
