Gigabyte EP45T DS5

[PP]

Hey guys

I have this board here since when P45 hit the market, for review. As it is a very early sample it has some problems which I think that could be fixed. The major problem is that I cant change vcore on BIOS, just on windows with software. The vcore is always around 1.15~1.20v. Another problem is that vdrop is damn big! I set 1.6vcore which results in 1.53v (idle) and 1.49v~1.50v (load).

So I'm looking for the vcore and vdrop mod for this board.

Now you should be asking "why he needs this for such a board"? Easy, I can get less than 45.1k pp at 4Ghz with E8600 and can also bench 1M at 600FSB on air.

and this one has already some values for the vdrop mod. Peter (Nosfer@tu) helped me out to find these things, so now what to do?

Thanks in advance, any help is welcome :)

PP messured the resistance from Point 1 to ground and it is 44.8 KOhm.
Point 2 to ground is 41.5 KOhm. On the ISL6336

Then he poked around to find a place where it has the same resistance.

Found 2 for nr 1 and 1 for nr 2.

Then connected with ground connector (The setting that makes direct contact go BEEEEEPPPPPP) and found those 2 points.

An old rule is that you need 20 times the resistance of the mod.
But I dont know if this applies here ?
