You might have read my vdroop mod for P5K-VM mod over at insanelymac.
Anyway, I bought the new P5E-VM DO board and wasn't impressed.
I thought it would be a monster but I was so wrong, maybe it's a faulty MB..
First the vdroop is huge on this board, 1.7v in bios gives real 1.48v...
I tried to fix the vdroop but only managed to get 1.6v, pencil mod.
Second the board starts as fast as the PSU is turned on, powerbutton has no effect.
So when I tried to shut it down it just restarted over and over again.
Had to resort to the powerswitch at the back of the PSU to shut it down.
As far as OC:ing the best I got was 3.15 GHz on my G0 Q6600 which is crap and
not near the 4 GHz I get on my P5K-VM.
Maybe it's a faulty board and maybe a new bios release will sort things out.
But now I'm back on my old board and this new one will be sent back to the store...
