not sure. post up a good pic of the area and let me look. the black chip that you see in the pic see if the numbers are the same.

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L VOLT MOD - PENCIL MOD - HARD MOD FOUND!

I have already posted pics of this board. The layout is different. See the bottom of page 6 of this thread for the pics and hanks response.
I have everything in and working stable....
Ep35-DS3L with an e7200 at 3.8 ghz.
Voltage is 1.4 in the bios....cpuz reads 1.36 idle and drops as low as 1.328 under load. I would like more stable voltages, but temps are fine for me and I haven't had time to figure out the vmod for this board. Please start a thread for the board with pics if you do get the vmod for the EP35-DS3L working. Maybe you'll get a sticky too!

Measure the areas i told you to on page 6. Look for the voltage that you see on your CPU when its not under load and when it is under load. you will measure both sides of the resistor. I think 2 resistors will be inline with each other with a ground point and a positive point. Its kind of hard to say what one it is with out poking around it my self. Note this runs with a risk trying to find it. its such a small area its hard to poke around. You could short out something.

ok guys, actually found this thread from Google 
Sorry its my 1st post....but since this is something useful...why nt
Actually I have gt an EP31-DS3L a few days back and was fighting with it to get to 3.6Ghz stable on my Q6600 and the huge vdroop was a big downer
Now bumped into the thread and found that no solution is yet available for the ISL 6334 based EP35-DS3L and EP31-DS3L....looked into the mod pics of the vanilla P35-DS3L and the usual spec sheets of the ISL 6312 (old) and ISL 6334(new).Had some high resolution shots of my mobo , and so figured out the pencil mod....I knew it could be hit and miss but still went on and tried it. Bingo and I was 100% correct on finding the correct resistor and its working 100%
Here the pic and explanation of the mod
About the Results here it is :
Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz
Pre Pencil mod :
Bios --- 1.5375 V
Idle --- 1.49V
Load(OCCT 4 cores) --- 1.42V
Post Pencil mod
Bios --- 1.48 V
Idle --- 1.44V
Load(OCCT 4 cores) --- 1.41V
Hope this helps
Oh and ya thnx to all the blokes for the original P35-DS3L mod w/o which this wouldn't have been possible
Also should I rather create a new thread for this
Thanks,
Supra/Regenade

right on man! thanks for posting that up. Im sure it will help a lot of people!
For the hard mod, there's a better place to make the solder joints than as shown in the previous post.
If you do it like this, it's much easier than trying to solder onto one of the really tiny resistor pads, you've got a bigger pad to use for both the connections.
It's easy enough to use a multimeter to confirm that this point is actually connected to the resistor we're interested in on your board, in case it's not on a different version of the board, for example.
(I just cropped and edited your original photo rather than take a new photo, so credit where credit's due for the photo, btw, thanks.)

Cool thanks for the post and welcome to the forums. If someone can do this and confirm it I will post it on the front page.
(a pic to go with would be a plus!)

Vis asked a question on the last page about which ohm setting to change his multimeter to. I am assuming that your link didn't help since it didn't help me
Which to set it to? Or does it just change the decimal placement haha.
Awesome thread by the way. Incredible, I read every page! I knew little about the vmod and now I feel ready to break my 3.6 barrier

sweet man great to see that it worked for you!
I'm here to just confirm, that this mod (pencil) works on GA-P31-DS3L motherboard(don't remember revision, think is 2.0), after it i got no more vdrop uder load
still there is little 0,02v drop from bios settings (like i got 1.32 and it is 1.30) but i think its mobo issue
Greetings from Poland and thx for this mod!

Look in this thread. Someone did find it. I think it will be close to the EP35 DS3L.

Dont know If you saw the really poor pics of the hard mod. It would work best.
As for the Vmem mod how much juice do you need?

First try and got it down to 800 ohms with a .016 vdroop instead of .05 from before. One thing I did noticed was that the idle voltage dropped from 1.36 to 1.344 after I penciled the resistor. I'll shoot for 600ohms next and hope that I get closer to zero vdroop.
Edit: I can't seem to get any lower than 800ohms. Maybe I need to get a 1HB pencil.

try a different pencil. This will not help drop. just droop. As far as i have seen it should not change drop at all.
and welcome to the forums.

FSB
Are mods for get more fsb voltage? How can I give voltage to fsb more than +0,3v?.I want to hit 1700-1800 fsb.But I did max 1600fsb with 0,3v.My processor is İntel Q9300 (2,5@3,0)(400*7,5=3,0).İs there any mod for getting more fsb voltage or more fsb freqence?.
