I have the P5E-VM DO (not the HDMI model).

I went to do the pencil mod and the layout was different from all the pics

On the "DO" board, the transistors (?) to be penciled are rotated 90 degrees so I have no idea which one to pencil or if either is the correct one.

This board has wicked vdroop. If I set 1.25V I get 1.232 at idle, and that plummets to 1.2 at load. Setting 1.3V vcore gets something like 1.26 idle, dropping to 1.23 load.

Revision is 1.02
