What's going on here!?! You folks are making me fear logging-in for catching this motherboard-killing disease!
My attempts at pencil-mod got me 1.4V max which got me 879HMz top gaming stable speed and that was with stock cooler @ 100% fan speed. "The Haunted" got some wicked (do the kids still use that word?) voltage with this pencil-mod.
It depends on the type/softness of the pencil lead, your technique and your PATIENCE!
Been having the problem for a couple of months now, its been posted in the asus forums quite a bit regarding this mobo, i've rma'd it twice but it works when they get it!
I'll try the pencil mod when i get back from work tommorrow, as i can find no damn pencils just biro's coming out of my ears.
A quick oc sesson just now netted me 877mhz stable through 3d06 90% fan speed never broke more than 50°c
