New Upgrades

Alright, I overclocked my processor today, from 1.86GHz to 2.9GHz, applied AS5, and stressed tested it, and it didn't go over 60, it was between 52 and 58.


Also did the Vdroop pencil mod,

And my Newegg shipment should be here Tuesday.

It helps to get rid of 'VDroop' on the board. Which you don't want when you're OC'ig. I'm not sure if it shorts the resistors or the lead / graphite just helps improve the connection on the resistors. Either way, it's supposed to help OC'ing. ;)
 
There should be a guide on the internet some-where for your board...

To find out if you have any vDroop, Look at what you have your vCore set to in your BIOS and then look at what it's reported as being in something like CPU-z. I know with my board, I have the vCore set to 1.43v (or around there) in the BIOS, when in fact it's only 1.31v. So, I have a pretty bad vDroop, but it really doesn't bother me, so :P
 
But, does that actually do something to the performance? Or is it just that the difference between vDroop and actual voltage may seem confusing?
 
I don't think it does anything for performance, I think it just makes it easier to set the voltage as the two values are a lot closer and more accurate.
 
Alright thanks, "dawg" :D

So the mod just makes it easier to have an accurate reading on the voltage since the vDroop is lowered
 
The PSOne screen mod, just adds a small screen to the computer, to display what's on your monitor or system specs.
 
:P I'll look at some guides later, and see how easy it is to do, and I'll probably buy the screen this week, it's under $50.

I was skeptical, because I didn't know if my current specs would be future proof, so I wouldn't want to be making it look all nice and stuff, but it would appear that SLI 8800GT's overclocked, will last awhile, I may upgrade to a Quad CPU in the Fall.
