AMD TBIRD USERS: Want to know if all mobo manufacturers Overvolt !!

[gustavo]

What´s your actual default VCore (specify mobo)

I mean ever says 1,75 Volts but what´s the actual measurement ??

Mine is MSI K7T266 PRO,
Default VCore says 1.75
actually delivers 1.81 Volts.

Thanks look forward for your comments Gustavo.-

My Abit does. It runs at 1.81 when set to 1.75 (or it use to before I voltage modded it). My friends Abit does (Celeron version). I build ASUS systems and they do, or at least the last several have. Don't remember looking on the earlier ones. I have seen some that don't though. But the majority that I have worked on recently all read high by approximately 3-4 percent. I heard somewhere (on the forums from a reliable source or I would never bring it up) that most manufacturers overvolt slightly for stability, but you might ought to follow the old rule which is, "Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you read". I chose to believe because it seems funny that several of the same exact motherboards have the same exact voltage readings if the overvolt came from fluctuations in components. If you look at the chip that controls the voltage, it is a very accurate controller that can be adjusted easily. They also use high tolerance resistors to set the features and voltage.

Anyway the easiest way to solve this is to call your Mobo manufacturer or email them and point blank ask them why your voltage reads high and if it is a problem that it reads high.

Good luck and let us know if you do call them, I am curious to know what they will say.

MSI K7T Turbo (MS-6330)
Set at 1.60 volts in the BIOS.
BIOS reading says 1.56 volts.
