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)

Heh. No, it's either on or off (0 or 1). Adding to it doesn't turn it super-on or anything.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
bullHeh. No, it's either on or off (0 or 1). Adding to it doesn't turn it super-on or anything.Mine go's up to 1.8000 in bios.
I just did this and had to make it able to write able here
it's is only up to 1.55
HAVE NO FEAR!

You didn't get the memo? 1 hour 'Fugger time' is equal to 12 hours of regular time.
It is not the max of the bios but the max of the chip itself (which is 1.55) that this enables..

ok dont take this wrong, as i am the worsed typist there is, fast and inaccurate. but your typo's are funny, how the hell did you get this wrong?
Happbit? the P and B keys are miles apart
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 I have never raised it that high and in fact this mobo overvolts by .05 to .07 so you actually put 1.6+v into that cpu.
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

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...

me neither, i speak english correct to the letter, some peeps say i sound snobbish, upper class'ish, im not, im from a Council estate in Glasgow...lol.
its just living in London for years, my accent has warped into this posh thing,
as for my typing, i couldnt give a monkeys...lol
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...
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.
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!!
