Asus X48 Rampage Formula pencil mod needed
hey, I am in dire need of a pencil mod to make my Vdroop better. It is holding me back from getting 3.9-4.0ghz on my Q9550. Anything helps, thanks!!!

I plan on doing this soon on my rampage as well. I remember reading it takes a couple strokes of a soft led pencil. Also, be sure not to get led from the pencil anywhere else on the mobo.

I just got a question about the type of pencil. I read that B2 (or 2B i forget) are good for this. I have an HB2 (just your standard pencil lol). Will that work just as well, or am I best to go out and buy a B2 pencil. thanks!

I used HB2 and it worked fine. Vcore is 1.300V in BIOS and 1.280V under load in CPU-Z.

Alright so I have tried it out and I am quite impressed actually. The voltage in bios is 1.3625 (or something very close) and in CPUZ it hovers between 1.352 and 1.44 (mostly at 1.44, it just jumps to 1.352v for an instant and goes back down every now and then). Now when I use prime 95's small ftt's, I have a very nice surprise.
 I am not experiencing any vdroop at all! Even if it was from the 1.352v, that is still a maximum vdroop of 0.008v!!! Woohoo! I think it is time to hit some higher clocks I was pressing way too lightly at first, and it made no difference at all. Then I tried a bit harder ( and a few more strokes) and just touched it with my finger to get any excess off (and blew on it lol). After 4 tried that was my result  .*edit* http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...=megaupload-20 Just did some research behind vdroop, and it looks like it might be an important function, especially with how sensitive 45nm CPUs are. I might just keep it at 3.8 and ensure the safety of my system rather than the extra 200mhz that I will probably never notice. This was a good experience though :P
