The Smith Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Hi guys, This afternoon I have done this vdroop mod: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showth...cil#post2655717 It works nice, my vcore is even raising a bit when my CPU gets loaded ! (And vdrop is very small now, but this is not the question) But the problem is that I lost all my stability. Before doing this mod, I was at 3.8 Ghz stable 6h OCCT, with a vcore of 1.46-1.47 idle and 1.41-1.42 load. Now, there's no more vdroop but when I test with OCCT I get the crapING BLUE SCREEN in the first 2 minutes of test. I tried with different voltages: 1.41-1.42 so the load voltage was the same, and up to 1.48V idle and load, and I still get the blue screen. Oh, and I tried to test only CPU and I still get the blue screen. What do you suggest guys ? Is this normal that I have lost my stability ? If there's no way to fix it, I'll undo my mod (I soldered it lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Hey I suddenly got an idea ! Could it be the NB FSB voltages I need to adjust ? I think no because they were at stock before the mod and it was stable 6h OCCT...but I mention it, it can be valuable information for the one who will help me...

philbrown23 Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 it could be the nb, try upping the nb and wait on the sb until you know you need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Euh...actually I don't think I can raise the voltage of the sb in the BIOS... Anyway I'll try the nb but I don't see why it would need more voltage if I only changed the Vcore to get this instability... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) Hey you know what ? Now with that vdroop, my Vcore is actuaaly increasing during load ! See yourself. It's weird...

road-runner Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 The rules have changed on vdroop... http://it.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=3184&p=5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) Interesting... I was wondering why mobo manufacturers were making vdroop...Now I know that it is useful. But in my case I'm still happy to have made this mod, because instead of idling(maybe 80 % of time, just listening to music) at 1.47V, it is at 1.42V. Thanks for the link ! Edit: That would be cool if it was an option in the BIOS...! Edited April 11, 2008 by The Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
