CUSL2 and CUSL2-C need default voltage on cold boot?

[RichieZ]

I have a P3 700E@933 that needs 1.85V to be stable, now from reading some posts I'm getting the weird idea that the CUSL2's set defualt voltage whenveer you cold boot and you need to go into the BIOS and set the VCORE. Is this true?

I'm currently running a BX@133 but the high AGP is getting anoying when playing heavy duty games

Never heard that. I had a CUSL2 previously and now have a CUSL2-C with a P3 700E @ 933MHz. The vcore hasn't been a problem on either board, it's stayed at 1.85.

If you boot then shut down rightaway it will boot to the bios screen

also update your bios to the latest

This is known as the cold boot bug for the ASUS CUSL2 family of boards. User settings for voltage are not loaded until AFTER POST on a cold boot.

If you have a processor that can boot up at 933 on default voltage, but needs 1.85 volts to be stable, that's fine.

If you have a processor that needs 1.85 volts just to boot up at 933, that's when you will run into this problem.
