MSI 645 Max Voltage

Whats the max core voltage on this?

I haven't gotten my 1.8A cpu yet... but after reading more information I am leaning towards the EPox Sis645 chipset board.

1.6 is the max , my 1.6a is running @ 2320 @ 1.550v.
good board!

Its going back to the store....
I would probably keep it if I had normal air cooling, but I have a vapochill case so I want the extra juice to the cpu.

THanks for the info though

I would about imagine.

If you do the standard VID mod, the board can supply 1.8v. You can short other CPU pins to allow 2.0v+ if you feel the need.
The MSI 645 Ultra is a no frills low cost motherboard that happens to be a stable, good performing board as well. As long as you are spending the $$ on a vapor chill setup you might as well spend a bit more to get a board with more overclocking tweaks available in the BIOS but as far as I know, no Northwood board allows more than 1.8v using the BIOS.
