Default Asus P5N-T Deluxe 780i VDroop pencil mod

I was wanting to do the pencil mod on this mobo for vdroop and maybe for vdimm too. Anyone know of a picture that will show me how to do this?

Another question....after doing a pencil mod, is it reversible? Wouldn't I be able to remove the lead from the components to reverse the mod? Thank you!!

From all the pencil mod pictures I've looked at....I can't find any resistors on my mobo that look similar. The layout of my mobo seems totally different. Does anyone have a pencil mod picture of an Asus P5N-T Deluxe mobo? Thanks!

I'm 100% positive there is no pencil mod for this...not even a hard mod...

The reason behind this is...when it came out the early BIOS was awful and the board got a terrible rep. Everyone skipped it for the EVGA board instead. Now alot of people don't use it and thats why you won't find much about the board.

Unfortunately thats how it rolls sometimes. I've heard its gotten better with mature BIOS but who knows.

Would I be able to test a resistor for what my vcore should be and if it is a 100k ohm resistor....can I pencil mod it? Basically just find it for myself.

This board has horrible vdrop and a little vdroop.

The CPU VDrop and VDroop isn't too bad at stock settings, but when I start overclocking and raising the VCore....the VDrop is insane and the VDroop is a little more than I'd like. Can anyone help?

I noticed the board layout of the P5N-D is similar to my P5N-T Deluxe. Would I be able to go by the diagrams of the P5N-D pencil mod for my mobo?
