Default Asus 750i P5N-D Pencil Mod

Here is a little guide to help you "Pencil Mod" your Asus 750i P5N-D. Helped me out a lot. Still a little vdrop but better than what it was. My vdroop is pretty much gone. I went from 1.525vcore to 1.475 and still coming down stable.

Also I can’t take credit for finding this just putting it together so others can see where to do it. Maximus7724 (extremeoverclocking.com) recommended the right spot to do it.

Ok to the guide…

First find the EPU chip which is located at the top left of the first memory slot.



Just above the Epu chip there are 4 resisters. 2 vertical and 2 horizontal. You want to pencil the top of the 2 vertical resisters. Boom, you’re done.



This helped me out quite a bit. I hope it helps you guys, too.

Yes just an old pencil. Just mark the top of the resisters with the pencil. Some people say one pencil works better than another. I really dont know.
