2.5v source only reads 0.35v on Iwill KK266/Athlon 1.2

[Giscardo]

I have my Iwill KK266 mobo running a T-bird 1.2@ 1.35 (150FSB). Under WinMe the Via Hardware Monitoring System v1.07 reads all voltages as being within 5% of their desired values, except for the 2.5v source. That one is reported as being 0.35v. What uses the 2.5 source? Also, does the bios voltage do anything? I have my cpu voltage set to 1.75v, but it reads as 1.85 i think (i'm not at my home comp right now). Is there something wrong with the KK266 voltage readings, or the VIA monitoring software? How does the 2.5v source affect a system's stability?

Don't worry, that 2.5v value is only for DDR motherboards. That would be the DDR voltage if you were running a DDR motherboard. I think it is in there because it wouldn't make sense for Iwill to use two different versions of the hardware monitor for their SDRAM and DDR boards, so they use one for both. If you were using a KA266, you would see a normal value in that space. No big deal...

The BIOS PC health shows the correct voltage.

This guy posts this message, and within 5 minutes he gets two answers. I've been asking the same question for 3 days, and no response till today.

Thanks alot. I'm just a little upset because i'm thinking my board is about to blow up due this this voltage thing.
