Enable overvolt: ON (which give 0.205V extra)
VCORE: 1.125

Reboot............ ........... ..........

Windows reads: 1.39V!! Which aint logic, cause it should say like 1.33V!!!

I've figured it out... and by doing this, the temps are NORMAL! Like they should be... idle 30c and load like 44~46C!! And I even oc'd my Opteron 170 to 2.6GHz on this volt I just wrote... 1.33V from bios SICK!
hmmm... I've been helping a friend put together a rather troublesome new pc over the last couple weeks. He's using this motherboard with a 4400x2 at stock settings (No OC) and his idle temps are still in the mid to high 40's is this normal? He's using some thermaltake ...think its a Thermaltake CL-P0075 which seems to be an ok heatsink. Anyways I reapplied AS5 several times and still no change in temps. Is this because of the overvolting that the board does? I set the volts manually to 1.35 but reading the above posts I can see its doing a small overvolt over what I'm trying to set. so should I set the .2v overvolt setting to on and drop the volts down to 1.10 so it runs at 1.35v? or just drop the volt down to 1.30 without turning on the 0.2v overvolt function?
