Was just reading through the x800pro mods on this site, and was reading about the VDDQ
Stock: 2.04V - 2.10V for a x800

Just earlier i updated my bios on my Asus P4P800, and under advanced settings for jumperfree configuration it has 4 pre-set values ( 1.80, 1.70 ,1.60 and 1.50v) 1.50v is the default it is set too.

My question is the guide says the card runs between 2.04V - 2.10V and my bios thing is set at 1.50v should i up that too the 1.80v?

Thanks

Greg

Vddq is a very general voltage term that refers to memory output buffers. The card has its own voltage regulators so nothing you set in your motherboard BIOS will affect it. The motherboard BIOS Vddq is probably referring to your RAM voltage, those values are right for DDR2 RAM I think.
