Can u eliminate vdroop on P35-DS3L?

[symes7]

I'm getting a Vdroop of ~0.06V under full load (Prime95).
BIOS = 1.36875
CPU-Z= 1.296 (full load)

Is there a mod for this board to eliminate Vdroop?

Also...is there a Vdroop for RAM as well? Looking at SpeedFan shows a lower mem voltage than what i specify in BIOS.

E6750 @ 3.60GHz
max temp = 66 (stock fan!)


Incidentally, can someone explain why core voltage goes down under full load? I would think that in order to calculate all those stress tests, the cores would need all the voltage as set in BIOS.

In short, Vdroop is a good thing. It prevents the voltage spiking over the VID, in which if that does happen, your system will be unstable. Thus removing vdroop is a bad idea.

Of course, too much vdroop is not good either, so some motherboards like ASUS has an option which reduces it. However, according to Anandtech, by enabling such an option, power consumption goes up.

Your Vdroop is fine, and the reason why your ram's voltage is different is perhaps due to Vdrop/Voffset.

Thanks Evil. Guess i'll let vdroop alone.

Still don't understand Vcore going down under full load...

Just think it this way: When your system is at idle, it isn't drawing a lot of power. Then when it goes under load, it draws tons of power, dropping the voltage down.

This isn't exactly correct, but it feels logical enough.

I actually get the same exact Vdroop which is average for these boards I'm assuming. I get .03V droop from BIOS when in windows and another .03V droop when under load making for the total .06 your getting as well.

EO...Sounds good eh...good enough for me on the voltage drop!

B123...i assume you meant 0.03, but yeah i guess .06 is 'bout right for these boards.

lol whoops, I'll fix that...
