I just finished doing the psu mod as shown here:
http://www.bleedinedge.com/guides/psu_3.3v_mod/psu_3.3v_mod_pg1.html
Stock, my 3.3v rail was 3.325. After modding, I set the 3.3 rail to 3.505. Booted up and measured my vdimm and set it to 3.205. Under load of continuous loops of memtest86 test #5, vdimm drooped to 3.167 but stable. Before the mod, 3.1 would drop to 3.05. Before the mod I couldn't complete 5 loops @2-2-2-6 without errors. Now I've completed 25+ loops @2-2-2-6.
The mod definitely works and the OCZ's are chewing up the volts at tight timings. The sticks are rather warm to the touch, toasty is more like it.
The P4C800-E and 2 simple volt mods really make my dust covered IC7-MAX3 look like an even bigger waste of money. We live and learn.
