Phenom I: possible to lower core voltage via software?

[drizek]

I tried RightMark and that had issues with unsigned drivers, so you might be thinking of that.

PMSRT just crashes on boot. I have tried reinstalling it several times and it just wont work.

I will try going into the bios to get rid of the OC completely to see if that will finally fix it and just use K10stat to OC in software(I prefer BIOS so I can use it in mac/linux)

lol, all I had to do was right click on the K10stat tray icon and click "enable". K10 works now, and for anyone interested there is an excellent guide http://aspiregemstone.blogspot...griffin-processor.html

PMRST seems hopeless, there is some sort of .net issue that can only be fixed by going into the source code and messing with it, something I don't know how to do.

I am really loving my new 900mhz triple core processor at .775 volts. I have two thermometers on my desk, one says 23.8C and one says 24.2C. AOD says my PII is at 21.5C. 🙂

What is your 720? clocked at the maximum side?

Unfortunately, it is only stable at 3.1ghz at stock voltage, other people have said that they can run theirs at 3.2 or 3.3.

I haven't raised V yet because I am using it with the stock cooler from my 5200. My ZEROtherm 120 will be coming in the mail tomorrow and I can see how high it will go.

Turns out my RAM was crap and was causing me to fail stability tests. I downclocked it to 667(one more reason to upgrade to an AM3 board) and got the CPU to run at 3.2ghz stable at stock voltages. Quick and dirty stability check says I can do 3.7 at 1.475, but I need to test some more to see if I need to bump the voltage up a bit. 3.8 failed at 1.55, so 3.7 is as high as it goes for me. 900mhz overclock isn't too bad though 🙂
