Asus PK5C Vdroop???

What is vdroop?

I have P5KC with 4x 1GB PC6400 Corsair and also a Q6600 and no issues at all!
 
say that you have selected your vcore as 1.50v in bios, but in windows under heavy load it dips to 1.46, which is in some cases enough to crash the system; therefore you have to set a higher voltage in bios than you need to compensate for load. As far as i have read, mods can be done to reduce this.
 
Just that i read the above review and to me it has "tainted" the board - just i'm now looking at the MSI P35 Neo2-FR.

Could you explain the benfits of having an "eight phase power management" as some of the more expensive motherboards have it, and the MSI P35 Neo2-FR only has a four phase power management; and i was wondering whether that would reduce this so-called "v-droop"??

Thanks in advance:p
 
Well I've never heard of this drooping on the P5KC and I did lots of research before buying it. Had it over 6 months without a single issue so don't really know what else to add!
 
I got the P5K Pro and yes there is vDrop & vDroop.

I don't get it as majorly as that reviewer did though...

If I set 1.5v in the bios it might turn out as 1.48-7v in windows dropping further under load with readings taken from CPU-Z.

It's a very stable board though...

Only my 2 cents of course ;)
