It reads the voltage as 2.3ish for the CPU?

Yet in bios its 1.525.

Whoa!

I dont know what would cause that problem, you have very typical specs.

Perhaps it's giving you metric volts? ;)

j/k!

I wouldnt really worry about it though, NO P4 could handle that type of voltage, it woulda blown up the minute you turned it on.

Try using ABIT's own program called ABITEQ you can find it on their website under your motherboard listing.

This will give you real time feedback of voltages as well.

Good luck!

according to their site, it doesn't support the AI7.

thats a CPUZ bug, it happens alot of times. Dont worry about that, if you whant the PERFECT voltage, read it on the board.

yeah, this is what Abit EQ has to say, 56 K warning.

now thats out of the way.

Whats the best way to burn in your ram/cpu/mobo?

I usually run mine as far as it will go on stock volts and play games for a few days.

Maybe loop the 3DMark03 Demo at 1280x960 2xAA 2xAF High Quality, looks beautiful on mine.

Yeah CPU-Z recognize the cpu volt from my Vagp voltage on my board. What ever I set the Vagp volt to it show on the cpu-z screen instead of showing the cpu voltage. So maybe just a bug there.
