I got my new motherboard today from newegg. Biostar M7VIP, I would have bought the MSI KT333 board but couldn't afford the extra 20 bucks at the moment. My question is mainly for someone who actaully has this board or has experience with it, as it's a new board. I researched it online a bit before I bought it and everywhere I looked it seemed that the board had the option to up the cpu voltage, I even downloaded the online bios manual for the board and it shows that it should have the option in the Frequency/voltage control menu. Well I have that menu but it only shows 2 options, one for cpu multiplier and one for cpu/pci bus speed, NOTHING for voltage. I've searched through the whole bios a couple times and tried upgrading to the latest bios version, which apparently it came shipped to me with anyway, and nothing helps. I need help quick so I can know whether I need to RMA this board and get one that will let me change cpu voltage, can anyone help me??
Also the mb comes with a cd that has a great overclocking program on it called warpspeed, it lets you adjust clock speed and dimm and cpu voltage right from in windows, but AGAIN the little button to adjust the voltages is greyed out for me, ugh :)
Can anyone help me out?

The manual I found is pretty non-descriptive :( It shows a DIMM voltage jumper, but no CPU voltage layout and no special jumpers that turn on the missing settings you need.

Ya, I'm about to give up on it, and buy either the MSI ultra2 board or Epox 8K5A2, but they're 20-30 bucks more oh well probably worth it.
