Great question Eva and thanks for the answer T_M, much apprecaited! Been noticing considerably more vdroop with Q9550 than E8400 (obvious I know). But at least knowing the actual VCORE can help get me where I want to be underload.

I would like to do the vdroop mod but I'm having some difficutly figuring out the correct procedure for the Blitz Extreme? The only information I have found was over at OCX and was posted by OPB who posted a picture along with the correct capacitor to modify. After looking at his picture I noticed that my board has an extra capacitor around the ADP3198 which leads me to beleive his mod was done on a Formula. I modified his picture below to show the location of the capacitor I have (which is not in his picture).

With that said do you think the modification will still work on my board (since they both use the same PWM controller ADP3198)? Basically I just want to make sure the mod is the same on both Extreme and Formula (although I've done mods before I still get nervous before doing one, especially on a $250 motherboard), lol! Thanks for any help guys!
