Great job Gotvolt!!

i was curiosu what the VDD did. I am currently running mine on auto. I didn't know what it did, and adding more and less didn't appear to give me any extra boost.

Is VDD only used to "bump" vCore.. or is the voltage actually used for something else, and the vcore Bump is just a side effect?

Its like the how VID works just adds more to the Base Voltage and helps keep the Voltage supply up when go high CPUclocks..I stumbled accross it by shear luck one day

I want 1.40V at load and at idle as well. It overvolts the CPU at load like hell. I think it is not normal.



I know that the 1.030v is a fake value. I would like to show that when the CPU temp (which is incorrectly reported by the mainboard) reaches the
approx. 68-70C degrees the system automatically switches back the CPU's multiplier to 6.5x.

I even experianced the Thermal shut down ,, i tested with High than Normal Vcore and Max VID..i mean Above 1.75volts total and i could make it happen..This Mobo reads 10c higher than Normal so any temp range below 65c can easily read 70c+ when its not suppose too..

As for the VID or Volts being 1.40v consistan youll have to play with each VDD setting and adjust the VCORE for CPU untill you have 1.40-1.42v under load ... Using CPUID hardware monitor and Coretemp will read VID and VCORE close to accurate..

Its like a game in its self just to get what you want Volt wise with the SB750 chip set .. SB600 was easier to set i believe..Then again AMI is little different from settings in AWARD...Thus i give props to AWARD bioses..

Thank you for the link oliverda. So if i increase VDDA the circuit might not fall behind more frequent with higher clocks.

Yup,, it does help alot when High Oc is involved especially when running High NB too.

thermal throttling ?> maybe

that was VDDA right ? I don't think it's bumping mine up :/ me temp was 45C at 1.35

youll need to adjust each setting till you find the sweetspot..Trust me its not as easy as it looks and can be time consuming ,,Just like finding good Timing on ram i do one setting at a time and write down what it did then try another untill i get what i want

NEW UPDATE 11/2/2008

ASUS website has 504 BIOS ready AGESA update...

I just downloaded it ...Trying to look up info if anyone else has tested/tried it yet....
