Wondering if anyone has seen this before.
I have been trying to fine tune my OC for a while now, but recently have become flustered at Orthos failures during stability testing.
Checking Speedfan or Intel Dekstop Utilities showed that no matter what Vcore I set in the BIOS, I was only getting 1.30 @ load.
Now there was a recent BIOS that Intel release that removed the ability to change Vcore (they claimed it was for Vista compatibility, but they just wanted you to buy a new board) but I have reverted to older BIOS before this restriction and I still am not able to adjust Vcore.
Now granted, I am able to get 3.2Ghz stable @ 1.3 which is pretty nice (and cool), but I am wondering if anyone has encountered this before.
I have cleared CMOS for 8hrs and still no luck.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Bryan
