Anybody use less than default voltage?

I used the pin-mod to up my voltage on a different cpu. Does anyone know if this XP 2400+ would run from 1.60V or 1.55V. Its not overclocked. Its on 1.65V but this board seems to really overvolt. Like 1.65V ends up 1.74V

I've sucessfully run my XP1700 Palomino on 1.4 volts... default is 1.750

Did you have to lower the clock speed any or did you just lower the voltage. Because I have to use the pin-mod so everytime I want to change the voltage I have to go through the process of pulling the heatsink and reapplying AS3 each time, so I kinda want to make sure it will run with lower voltage before I do that.

Nope, I just lowered the voltage until it was unstable... but it never became unstable... 1.4 is as low as the BIOS would go. But if you can't adjust the voltage in the BIOS, I wouldn't bother.

mine was very similar, i ran my xp1700+ overclocked to 2ghz and i lowered the vcore to 1.45v (to keep the heat down )

I think that I'll give 1.50V a little later on. Use up the AS3, so I can give AS5 a tried
