What's the default voltage for this puppy?

I noticed on my MSI that when I set the voltage to default, it was shown as 1.8 on the PC Health monitor (1.85 actually, but I think the measurement is off).

I raised it to 1.825 and was able to get it to get through 15 iterations of Prime95 torture test before I had to go to work.
When at default, it failed.

It's at 1150 now.
When I tried 1200, it didn't pass Prime95 at all.

thanks.

I am using MSI Pro2 with 1GHz Tbird also at 1,15GHz @ 1.8V. I read somewhere that the voltage supplied by the mobo is 0.07V higher than what you set in BIOS. This is true in my experience as Sandra and PC Alert are reporting consistently the same voltage.

Only been running for 15 minutes with Internet and RC5/OGR loading, but my 1Ghz T-Bird is running at 1250 with DEFAULT voltages. I'm having trouble believing it.

Ran for 48hours at 1200 before I decided "what the hell"

Russ, you sold me a good one, buddy!!! (MSI K7T Pro2a with Mushkin PC133 CAS2) All done with multipliers, not with frequency adjustment.

Pencil trick and FOP 32-1 with Arctic Silver. Temp is currently at 45C and steady (same temp as at 1200MHZ)
