MSI 845G Max, MS-6580, v1.0 mobo.

In Bios I set the CPU voltage adjust to 1.5, but when I read the CPU voltage in Windows through different programs like CPU-Z or PC Wizard 2003, it shows 1.44.

I'm trying to OC this 2.4b, but after hitting 2.8 or higher, it won't even boot. I tried upping the voltage to 1.55 and 1.6, but it didn't make a difference. What's the highest safe voltage setting?

I have my memory on a divider (5/4) so I don't think thats the problem.

Thanks,
