When gaming, I use an airconditioner, so it can take higher voltage.
In AOD, I can only get 3.3. I run it at 2.6 when I'm not gaming and want to
keep the voltage under 1.475.

You need to edit the Preferences.xml file in the AOD folder under your program files. Change <MaximumVCoreEnabled>0</MaximumVCoreEnabled> to <MaximumVCoreEnabled>1</MaximumVCoreEnabled>
Yep, hacking the preferences file gets the job done.
But, if the system hangs or crashes, it will rewrite the file with the 1.45 value, so you have to edit the file again..and again... and again (if you crash it over and over like me :D)
Could you not just make the file read only so it can't rewrite it?Quote:

I tried it and mine went to 1.55v
Heh. No, it's either on or off (0 or 1). Adding to it doesn't turn it super-on or anything. :D It just unlocks the highest setting your motherboard reports it can go to instead of the soft limit of 1.45V AOD imposes. Honestly though, going over 1.45V on an X4 isn't the right solution. If you're using a K8, you might do a bit more.
bull:banana::banana::banana::banana: Mine go's up to 1.8000 in bios.Quote:

It is not the max of the bios but the max of the chip itself (which is 1.55) that this enables..
Why so confrontational?Quote:

Happbit? the P and B keys are miles apart :rofl:
and this one is good too,
I just did this and had to make it able to write able here
now dont get me wrong, i assume your from the US as stated in your location stats, so please forgive me if your learning english.
but this is way off mark, although very understandable.
or maybe your dyslweic, and again i apoligise if you are.
FWIW... I edited that file tonight, cranked my CPU v's up using AOD to 1.55 hoping to get better than 3.3Ghz benchable and killed my main rig! :(
I tried resetting CMOS, unplugging etc and still can't get anything more than a quick flash of lightss on the fans without any boot....
Hopefully, if I let it all cool down things will be better tommorow....
Just wanted you all to know this may be a risky move. I actually had pretty decent clocks before I edited that file @ 1.45v's on the CPU....
The gear shown in my sig is accurate....

I just wanted to add also I overclock to 3.25ghz @ 1.45v in the bios then manually set the aod.....using the edited file the most I put into this cpu is 1.55v I never just raised it all the way
sorry to hear your cpu may be dead:shakes:
I have set voltage many times to 1.55 in both m3a8pro and mea79t and nothing happened really....
Well if my cpu was dead i would be glad by the way,because something's wrong with temps in my 9950.
And also propably the mobo is dead and not the cpu...
These phenoms are badassesss!:p:
Your CPU will probably be fine, Dave. It sounds like you've been hit by a case of MSI Mayhem. (dead MOSFETs)
i have put over 1.6 into my 9850BE and MSI K9A2 Plat....
its a survivor
^ And a rarity :D
K9A2 Plats love falling over in droves at even modest voltages.
dyslexic, apologize.Quote:

Just an Update....
It apperars that the Mobo did in fact die, I swapped out the CPU for a 9850 last night, that didn't fix the problem, so tonight I tore the machine apart and ran it bare bones on a different PSU with the same results...
Titan7171: Your right I can't really blame MSI for my problems. By modding that file I was operating the board outside of it's specs. It actually is a very nice board and I was quite happy with the results before I got a little carried away and killed it... :shakes:
That being said though, AMD has stated that 1.55v is the max Vcore limit for Phenom and even though the board overvolts a little (which I was aware of) I was pretty sure the CPU could handle it (it was 1.565 according to CPU-Z).
I've been using MSI products for the last 5+ years and have been very happy with them, in fact you could probably call me an MSI fanboy, but as PARTICLE said they seem to have cheaped out on the PWM sections of their boards with the Phenom variants... The K9A2 and the DKA79GX both perform VERY well but seem to fail when you push too hard at overclocking. Unlike the K8N Neo2 which was a beast!! ;)
I'm NOT a big fan of Asus, but the M3A79-T, with it's 8 +2 PWM section is looking like it may be my replacement....
Forum chat on the HTPC kinda sucks. :D
The MSI DKA790GX Plat IS a nice board, and it will OC quite well, but you just have to be a little too gentle with it for my tastes... Especially if your like me and you like to OC with beer!! :yepp:
