so thats 1.8 for winnies. which means that fx-55 will get like 1.9 because the VID switches to where 1.55 is the highest i think.

:D Very good - I forgot about that. On my NEO2 it's the same, VID with the FX-55 is 1,55 and adding 20% should be 1,86. But would be nice to find an option to set it in BIOS.

I tried the new Neo4 SLI bios with 19,2% overvid option and it does not work... :( 1.56V max for me.. :(

Well if CoreCentre can take me to over 1.8 vCore, then there must be a way to do it in the bios?

I tried changing it with CoreCentre and it doesn't seem to be working on the SLI version of the board..

Which version of CC are you using?

I am using the latest one on the MSI website. Maybe it just works on the ultra version of the board?

Hm ok, thanx

Just tried the lastest version of CC and it seems so that this only works on the Ultra versions of the board. To bad... :(

:D O.K. - but what's up now, can someone report that the new BIOS works with the higher voltage option ??? :toast:

Well, I flashed the 214 BIOS for Diamond and while it does have up to 3.1v VDIMM (and probably working too since my OCZ VX can boot at 2-2-2-5 while it couldn't before flashing BIOS) but vCore is only up to 19.2% and it did not seem to work for me. I set 1.45v and 19.2% which was supposed to give around 1.7v but both cpu-Z and CoreCenter reported 1.55v. The rumour is that there will a new revision of the board to support these extra voltages.

Can anyone tell me if the beta bios allows for more mem voltage. I am using OZC gold series and I certainly can use over 3 volts.

Also at 1.55 vcore my system is still very cool with my xp-90. Is heat the best indicator for long term life of the cpu. Can I get higher and still not risk killing it if temps are low?

:D Forgot where but read the latest BETA allows 3,1 Vdimm. :toast:

Hmm that would be enough reason for me to sell my current board and get a new revision, because other then the very low Vcore option I kinda love this board! :)

Awsome cause I know I can safely use it. Heard many problems with it at all?

Also do you know the best way to be sure I dont fry my cpu by pumping too much into it?

think that once these get the extra voltage working they will give the dfi board a run for its money?

As long as you keep it below 65 degrees you should be fine... Don't worry, you won't fry it that easily.

ok thats what I thought. I will give the new BIOS a try tonight. I know my memory has more in it if I can push the memory.

I also have the vcore up with BIOS 1.1 as high as I can and running prime95 overnight all i got was 35c.

Yup... Same here. Max 36c after a couple hours of prime on max Vcore (1.55V).

What is the most reliable software for monitoring and changing clock settings under windows. I have been using CPU-Z for info and NvTune to make changes but I dont care for NvTune and some information shows incorrect.

Ok, I just fried my SLI Platinum by accident when I was trying to put a fan on 7V... :(

Got a Neo4 Ultra + SB Audigy 2 ZS instead...

Ouch! :( You double checked it all?

Well I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I either touched my case with one of the wires from a molex or I touched another wire in the molex...

The second it happend, my system shut down and when I tried to start it again ther was no POST.... Alle my fans and HD's do spin up, so I don't think it's my PSU.

D-Bracket gives 4 red leds, so I'm thinking the board is dead. :( I'm just praying I didn't fry my X850XT or G.Skill... :(

New board should arrive tomorrow!
