Changing the CPU Core Voltage

OIDanTheManIO · 12-02-2004, 12:33 AM

OK...exactly how do I change the CPU core voltage? You see, the temperature of my CPU when idle is around...oh, say...65 degrees. VERY BAD! And that's when it's NOT overclocked! So I was talking to ATiRAGEPRO about my problem and he says that my core voltage is too high because I have a VIA motherboard

I need to find out how to do this ASAP PLEASE!!! Thanks.

jeez thats a *****, first dont rely on bios temps, if u can get a 3rd party thermal sensor, if it still reads high and u cant change ur voltage in bios either get a bios update 4 ur board, or change the jumpers on it so u can change it in bios...i couldnt help ya there, ud need the manual. sorry i cant be more of help on this.

couldnt find anything on newegg for it but there is one i did find real cheap http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/comther.html
real basic, they do have flashy ones that come with a 5.25 bay LED readout for it, some u can attach up to 6 different sensors
