HELP!!! I need to increase the voltage!

[x86]

I have a 1.8a NW with a TH7II-RAID MB, 1GB RAM, Radeon 8500. I can get it up to 2.016GHz (112FSB)without any errors with 1.55V. MY MB's manual says that I can increase the Voltage up to 1.8V in the BIOS, but when I go to the BIOS it only goes up to 1.625V. Does anybody know the solution to this?

Also, when I go any further for example, 120FSB, I get prime errors. Does anybody know how to correct this?

Thanks

Bump your voltage a little bit (check for the jumper on the mobo). It should be more stable like that...

get the leaked bios from overclockers.com forum.

I've noticed this... seems as if some boards which supposedly let you go to 1.85 or so WILL NOT with a Northwood. I've noticed the same thing with Tualatin capable boards, where they don't let you go too high if they detect the new chip. Strange, since the newer chips seem more capable.

I had to perform the wire trick to up the voltage on my TH7-II..

I think the 1.8v was likely in reference to a willamette core p4....I think you will have to do the wire trick...

The TH7II-RAID will only go 0.125 above default voltage. This is why you max at 1.625 (1.5+0.125). You either need to load the 77 hacked BIOS that will max at 1.85, or perform the wire trick. Also, keep in mind that your TH7II actual vs bios voltage is understated by 0.05-0.075. Thus 1.85 will really only be about 1.78. I reccomend doing it right the first time and wiring 4-3-2-1 pins. This will release all your voltage options from 1.5 to 2.2 for life. I also had poor results with the 77 hacked bios. I am running 38 will all the pins wired. I am at 1.6 volts and currently running at 2.6. I can run at 2.7, but need moocho vcore to get stable.
