My Abit A8N-32X and 4400+ Toledo read 1.380 V when set to auto. I got 2.8 GHz rock-solid stable at that.

I know the specs, but my board always defaults vcore at 1.4. I got it running at 1.375 now at 2.8ghz. Going to run tests, got my multi at 11x.

Eviloverclocker, you could even try 1.3volts. I was lucky enough to hit 2.8Ghz at 1.29volts (according to Everest). Have you tried finding the limits of your chipset yet? That will give you nice baseline to start off with.

Good luck

Your board doesn't offer any settings below 1.4volts?

It might be that when he sets it to 1.350 V in the BIOS, it reads 1.375 V in the OS.

Heres what I got now.

If your Asus is anything like mine, if CPU Voltage (VCore) is left on "Auto," it will send a reported 1.4V for VCore. It's a little Asus-specific quirk.

Accordingly, just set your VCore manually to whatever level you need (1.3V, 1.35V, whatever). Stock VCore for Asus is not the CPU's actual stock VCore.

Good luck!

Yes but I really don't remember what it was. I checked it a week after I got this board. Thats been almost 2 years ago. I got my fx55 over 3ghz. Of coarse it runs stock at 2.6. I need to do the math again.

Eviloverclocker, I specifically remember this BIOS as well. I had this board for a while. You can set the Vcore as low as 0.800volts. If it's set on AUTO please take it off and manually enter the values (as Joe stated).

Also have a look in the Power -> Hardware Monitor section to see if your changes went through.

Good luck

Yes it will much lower. I am going to try it at 1.3.

:\ I don't have any bootable Ubuntu 64 discs, and my router's too much of a pile to download one.

Besides, Windows is more challenging, I still wanna try for a 3.0ghz boot.

You did, however, list the reasons I'd love to go to Linux. Too bad there isn't a distro with a bug-free D3D engine in it...

I'm just fine using a three dollar Compaq keyboard. :P

That gave me an idea to try my computer at 1.3 when I get home today. Just to see if my temps will go down even more.
