Using an A7V133 rev 1.05, I'm running my 800 Bird at 7.5x133. But CPUID reports the 133 as 134.30, does anyone know how to rememdy that? I've seen this discussed before, but I don't remember if anyone actually said how to make a setting of 133 actually run at 133.

I think this is normal for ASUS motherboards....certainly I have seen it across the range for different models.

Generally however, there is quite a bit of fluctation in the FSB....I have seen my own 700@933 float up to over 945 and back down again. It would certainly explain why ASUS boards have better performance than other boards, since they do a bit of overclocking on the sly ;)

I'm seeing the same thing with my voltage on an A7V133. However, a certain percentage of extra voltage for stability or a certain percentage of overclocking &quot;on the fly&quot; would be acceptable. Floating settings however suggests instability to me. How can I overclock to the maximum if settings are changing, which they are.

Only problem with my theory is this is my third Asus board and they are the most reliable I've ever seen.
