VIO Voltage

[Lycan]

Hi all,

I've heard that increasing the VIO Voltage on the motherboard can help
to reduce stability problems with higher (140+) FSB speeds... anyone
care to offer some results/experience with this??

I've current got a p3-700 running @ 966 (138FSB/CAS3/1.75) and I'm having a few
stability problems when approaching higher bus speeds. I have a feeling
its the memory I'm running but I'd like some info on this VIO adjustment
idea so I can see what affect this has on my PC.

Cheers
Lycan

Yes, VIO voltage will make a difference, but my feeling if it's that marginal to begin with then it's a much better idea to just drop the speed, unless the main reason for upping the VIO is for AGP. There it seems that people DO have have a problem even running at stock speed at 3.3 V. Up to 3.4 or 3.5 V and everything's fine.

my default voltage is 3.5
