Voltages

[btsdev]

I just installed a hardware monitor...

It has in red text (caution) that my Core voltage is +1.79V

Is this bad?

also my other voltages are:
+12V = +11.95V
+5V = +5.08V
I/O = +3.31V

Also... how do i change my AGP voltage? (i don't see an option for this in BIOS, and i have to change it to fix a video card problem in my PC)

thanks

Any ideas? Is my core voltage really off or is my testing program just being weird?

Also, the agp voltage question

thanks

It would help if you gave us some frame of reference by disclosing what processor and motherboard you have. Its kinda hard to know if 1.79v is really out-of-whack when you don't know what 'whack' is.

gotcha sorry about that.

ECS K7VZA Mobo, rev3.0, 1.2amd

nothing overclocked.

1.2 AMD what?

Athlon 200FSB or 266FSB?

Duron?

Woohoo! Now we're getting somewhere.

The nominal core voltage of all Athlon 4 model processors between 900MHz and 1400MHz is 1.75 with a maximum voltage of 1.85. So 1.79v is right in the proper range with an acceptable margin of error.

As for your AGP voltage, I cannot say how to adjust it on your motherboard, it may not permit you to adjust the AGP voltage.

ok thank you very much

i hope there's a way to change that AGP voltage :/ if it's not in the BIOS, i definetly can't do it?
