I have this tbird 750 that is pretested to 1 gigahertz by compuwiz himself. it used to run fine in my msi k7tpro2a, but it doesnt seem to like 1 gigahertz in my new epox board. i'm running crucial pc2100, but not utilizing the 133mhz fsb, so this shouldnt be a problem. i tried to set the unlocked multiplier to 10, while keeping the fsb at 100 in order to get 1 gig, but it didn't happen. windows would load, then fatal exceptions everywhere. one strange thing about this board is the cpu voltage. how am i supposed to set that? comp told me he tested the cpu at 1.85 volts, and i used to be able to set that in my msi board, but the epox doesn't have that exact setting. it tells me that the voltage is 1.82 at default. i need 1.85, as 1.82 still doesn't let me run without errors. and i don't want to run it at 1.92, that'll be wayy too much. what can i do guys? i know this cpu can do 1 gig, hell, comp knew it as well. it's been tested and everything. same type of stuff happens if i try to run 7.5x133 as well...
