i've got this slocket and I'd like to use the MB bios for vcore adjustment (abit bh6 1.1 sp bios) and NOT the slocket dip switches (boring).
The setting for ALL SWITCH TURNED OFF is undocumented on the slocket,
so I initially think that this could bypass the slocket vcore adj.
not exactly,,,

with this setting my sistem is totally unstable, and freeze in few minutes, probably due to extremely high voltages (2.4V, if not higher!!).

ok. I've not yet find my almost-stable setting for my 700e cb0 @ 970/139 and I'm bored of this unplug-and-pluging.

You may well have destroyed your CPU at 2.4v Core Voltage. Frankly, there's no excuse whatsoever for turning your machine on after you ascertained that using this Slocket with your mainboard supplied 2.4 Vcc. Buy a name brand Slocket, be it Abit, Asus, MSI or Iwill. Install it. Read its manual. Set the Vcore jumpers to whatever supplies 1.65v-1.8v to the CPU, or better yet set the Slocket jumpers to "default" and adjust Core Voltage within your mobo's Bios/jumpers.
