How do you raise the 5 VOLTS Setting.

What 5 VOLTS setting? More info needed

The 5 VOLTS that drives PCI Slots

partially wrong there
Although the PCI slots do use 5v, the IO voltage is what you're probably refering to.
Your BIOS needs to be able to adjust that in order to modify it.

If you really are talking about the 5v line, you can't change that.

Right the voltage going to the pci slots, just curious to see if the voltage deliverable there can ever be boosted. Soldering included.

i dont think its as simple as a setting ... you'd probably have to mess with a bunch of capacitators and resistors on the mobo ... and that would be quite messy i would think

Thanks BID that was kind of what I was thinking. There have been some pretty FREAKY articles out there about people cutting traces, adding reistors etc. I guess that gets to the heart of it.

The 5V power comes directly from the power supply unit. You will need to modify the PSU itself to change that - not recommended.

Not Recommended???
LOL That's a good one.
