GA-F2A68HM-DS2 (rev1.1) CPU Voltage Setting in BIOS

[ao_ika_red]

Hello everyone.
I need help to configure my CPU voltage manually. I'm using X4 860k CPU.
From my adventure around internet, I knew that 860k can be run safely under 1.3V in stock condition. The problem is, I can't set voltage value manually in BIOS. Doing it via AMD OverDrive tool is pretty unreliable for the long run. It's just frustating knowing that I can do something to lower my CPU temperature but I can't find the right way.
Any opinion is more than helpful.

Cheers.

Edit: This particular mobo used voltage offset mode to manipulate CPU core voltage. It can be set in positive (+x.xxxV) value, but it can't be set the other way around (negative value can't be entered).

Sounds like a limitation of the board's firmware. Maybe contact the mfg, for a beta BIOS build, that allows for negative vcore offsets?

Thanks Larry. I don't aware if there's such limitation from manufacturer. I have sent my question to Gigabyte, hopefully they will solve this issue. I'll update on this page as soon as I get any reply from Gigabyte.

Got reply from Gigabyte, unfortunately it's a bad news. Basically, they said that my board doesn't support undervolting due to design limitation. I can afford to overvolt / overclock it, but it's not my taste, though.
