I have just installed this motherboard and it's quite stable, but I have one questions. The Vcore shows to be 1.85v in the BIOS, in MBM 5 and in Sandra Sisoft, so I guess that's right. But, I thought that the default is 1.75v. I checked the motherboard, and the Vcore jumpers are jumpered properly for no increase in Vcore. Am I wrong in thinking that 1.75v is correct? Here are my specs:

AMD 1GHz 266
Thermaltake Volcano 6cu
Epox 8K7A
256MB DDR Corsair
Visiontek Geforce2 GTS-V 32MB
SB Live Value
A1 Electronics 350W PS Dual fan
Intel Pro 100+ NIC
Windows 98se

TIA

I have the same baord and had the same question, so I ask amdworld.com what the correct vcore setting should be and the said 1.85v. No explanation why. Though I have read in other reviews that the vcore should be bumped up to 1.85v and ddr voltage to 2.8v.

Its normal for most mobo to add 0.05 to 0.1v to the set vcore for added stability. Ur mobo is perfectly normal.
