    Can vcore go lower than 1.75v on A7N8X dlx v.2.0?

    Ok that makes sense, I decided to order a replacement HSF for the system, at SVC.Com. I went for an SLK-800 and a 48cfm 80mm fan, that at some Artic Silver hopefully will knock that temp down to a more reasonable level. Thanks for confirming that I was not missing the obvious jumper or switch...

    Can vcore go lower than 1.75v on A7N8X dlx v.2.0?

    Is my newegg AXIA 1.2 tbird a dud? Duron 600@900 stable for 10months on this mobo, argh!

    I thought I had researched enough before I bought the 266mhz version. But maybe someone else on the board can verify that I dont have to modify the chip to make it run at 200mhz FSB? Im begining to think that may be a problem, I wonder if there is a pencil trick to making the chip believe that...

    Is my newegg AXIA 1.2 tbird a dud? Duron 600@900 stable for 10months on this mobo, argh!

    the only system that I was able to test the processor on was a compaq system. So I was limited to like 900mhz since there was no multiplier setting to be found. I ran the system for 4 hours with just a screensaver and it worked fine, So I decided to test the power supply, and heatsink. So I...

    Is my newegg AXIA 1.2 tbird a dud? Duron 600@900 stable for 10months on this mobo, argh!

    I had been running a Duron 600@900 since last september on my trustee Abit KT7. With the prices of athlons having dropped so much, I figured it was time t retire my good old duron and get a tbird on my KT7. I decided to go ahead and keep my KT7 until the KG7 is a definite solution on the DDR...

    Ok I have an abit kt7 board (non-raid), and the new cpu gives me the same problem. Its actually a week 0023 core, the L1 bridges are not cut on this one, so I figured it would just boot.
