I have a T-Bird 800 and a KT7-RAID motherboard. Of course, I have used a pencil on the CPU, and the multiplier works just fine.
I can go to 900MHz without doing anything to the voltage, but when I go for 950, I have to raise it by 0.075V (from 1.700 to 1.775) to make it stable. I have tried 1GHz at this voltage, but apparently I must go even higher on the voltage to make it stable at 1G. And here's the problem.
I have been told that the T-Bird should be able to handle voltages up to 1.850V, so it looks like I can still go quite a bit higher, right? But: When I set the voltage to 1.700 in the BIOS, the VIA Hardware Monitor (and the PC Health Utility in the BIOS) reports that the voltage is actually 1.76V. And when I raise it to 1.775, the reports say 1.85. So, the question is: can I go any higher? When people tell me it's safe to go up to 1.85V, do they mean the setting in the BIOS or the actual voltage reported by the Hardware Monitor?
