Gigabyte GA-8IEXP Undervolts CPU?

[Fulcrum]

I heard some users suggest that the Gigabyte GA-8IEXP slightly undervolts the cpu at it's default setting. I would like to hear from owners of this board as to whether they find this to be true or not? I'm planning to OC a 1.8A to about 2.4 (133fsb)and I'm thinking that if it does slightly undervolt, I should bump the voltage up just a bit to compensate. What do you guys think?

Yes, to get to 2520, I had to change divider to 1:1. 3:4 wouldn't work for me, this is at 1.65V, MBM reports it's 1.61-1.63V though. I use Corsair XMS PC3000. Temps run 32C idle and 40-42C under Prime95. Alpha with a 49CFM YSTech. I am seriously considering RMA'ing it for a Epox 4G4A+ .

Thanks for the input. Anyone else?

Yes, mine seems to slightly undervolt too.

What BIOS version are you running, and where do you change those settings? I would also like to know if it's possible to reserve an IRQ for the AGP slot. I have a bunch of devices on IRQ 11 and things are a bit flaky. I'm running Win98SE with a Visiontek GF3 Ti500. Thanks for any tips!

I have one of the original BIOSes (I think F3).

You change the voltage on one of the BIOS screens.

I have this board and It does seem to run the voltag slightly lower than what you set it too. I have seen this on all the P4 systems that I have put together. It just seems to be like that with all of them.
Just my 2 cents

Mine doens't seem to undervolt. Although, I don't believe the CPU temps are read right by the Gigabyte MBM software.
