LCD TVs are rapidly progressing. 1080p TVs are getting more popular now. Of course LCD PC monitors can have a greater resolution, but the majority are still 1920x1080 or less. I have a 37" LCD TV with a 1080p native res which can be used as a monitor without any problems (a LOT of people do...

1366x768??? You forgetting about 1080p? 1920x1024?

I'm am not talking about what the intention of the mod is. That has nothing to do with it. Whatever the intentions of the mod are, are irrelevant. Vdroop is what it is, regardless of what mod people do to fix it or not. Besides people mod to have an accurate voltage compared to what they set in...

Sorry, but no. You said: That is wrong. It doesn't matter what people mostly mod it for, a fact is a fact. PS. I have a ~0.04v difference from "actual" to BIOS when in idle and just 0.01v less when under load. So, believe me, if I vmod my mobo it won't be just for load voltages.

No, not necessarily from idle to load. Vdroop is present in idle and under load.

Yes, that's basically what vdroop is. It's a drop in voltage in reference to what you set in BIOS. I use Speedfan to see the "actual" voltage. As it's explained in the following link, this is due to Intel's power delivery design: Intel's vdroop explained...

Lol, didn't notice the missing verb. :p

Hahaha, naa I like this board. :)

Yes, of course voltage has more influence, no doubt about that. As for drive strength, I can't change it in my BIOS.

Yeah, you're probably right. Guess we'll be sure once we see some results from retail modules. lol, don't be so hard on yourself. :D

I really do hope you guys are right about Crucial. Sending random samples to reviewers is the way it should be done. :) Yeah, I'm always more comfortable having airflow over my RAM. The amount of voltage you set your RAM to doesn't determine the heat alone. You also have to take into account...

Yeah, I know SuperPI doesn't prove stability, let alone at 1M, but I wasn't going for stability. I just wanted to show that it could at least run SuperPI and how fast. It wasn't probably not 100% stable at those clocks and I wasn't about to try and prove it as didn't want to risk corrupting...

Thanks b1lk1 :)

I do have some fans over the memory. I'm using the CORSAIR CMXAF1 Fans: Well it seems it was the memory controller that didn't like going higher than 600MHz. Check out these new results: I was unable to lower the CAS latency under 5 at 600MHz no matter the voltage (up to 2.5v), but the...

This not just the eVGA board nor it is a problem of the 680i chipset alone. This is what it's called vdroop. It happens on most Intel boards, some more than others. The only board I've used that wasn't affected by this was the Asus P5W64 WS Pro. This is because this board was designed to...

I was told that it might be my memory controller giving out after 600MHz. So later, when I get the chance, I'll try 600MHz but with tighter timings and see how tight can they go. :cool:

For 24/7, a LOT less: CPU clock: 3.3GHz vCore: 1.43v in BIOS. 1.39~1.38v actual.

These GKX sticks are surprisingly good for the price. 600MHz at just 2.1v ! *Everything was done in BIOS. No memset or anything a like was used.* SuperPI 32M Stable Here's 1M with a much tighter trc timing. Still just 2.1v, as you can see. I would try 32M but it takes too...

Sure, if you have time that would be great. Don't worry about it too much, though.

A lot. 1.72v in BIOS 1.68v actual in idle, after vdroop.
