I have the msi neo platinum 2 and the 3200 90nm with 1.3 bios.. i was wondering.. if in bios it says my volt on cpu is around 1.4-1.45 and i actually have it set at 1.55 does that mean taht this bios is messed up.. because people keep saying that there bios does not give the right voltage.. so i was having problems getting my 1:1 at 260 fsb so im wondering if should flash or oc the voltage to like 1.65 so its actually around 1.55 instead of the low 1.45.. any suggestions would be great.. because I think its just lacking the extra voltage to the cpu because i can run this ram at 260 fine but it seems the cpu cant handle it.. and im going with the thought its the voltage being so low.. im using ocz plat rev 2 gig of ram and also have an xp90 so i should be okay with temps once i get it to 1.55 or 1.6 volts.. your thoughts? goodnight
 
Flash to 1.41.....My bios vcore matches the vcore I see in windows as from cpu_z or CoreCenter...However Yes the MSI boad does undervolt but I only see about .07...Funny thing is the more I volt up the vcore the less and less that undervolting becomes...
Also remember this board is one of the few boards that when you load the chip the vcore goes UP and not DOWN....
 
Yes, it's perfectaly normal. All boards difer one from the others. While some may show 1,34 in windows, others may show 1,39, when setting 1.4 on BIOS.

Nothing to worry about. Also, do what Duvie says about the BIOS. Install the 1.41 version at least.
 
yeah, i think thats what im gonna do, because I think once i get the actual 1.5 or 1.525 my processor will be fine, at 1.4 or whatever I dont think its enough to give it a 1:1 at 2.6 so ill try that and let you know how it goes...
