Hallo,
I have observered something strange and would like to know if anyone else got this problem. I got a Celeron 566@934 mhz @ 1.85 voltage on a P2B-F with Asus Slocket converter. Motherboard monitor says the core is 1.86 and that is fine. The thing is when I start up the distributed net client and my cpu workload is 100% my core voltage drops to 1.76!

Have anyone else noticed this on their cpu?

Thanks Frank

It sounds to me like poor power supply regulation, the higher the current draw the higher the voltage drop, it sure sounds to me as if you are pushing the power supply output just to the point that it isn't regulating the voltage enough. Just my .02C Radarman
