I know this is not exactly an enthusiast mobo, but I'm doing some tweaking for a friend and have a vcore issue. The board is paired up with an E6320 with stock HSF, Sapphire 3850 and a crappy DDR667 2 GB Kingston kit. Seeing how this chip will overclock very well, I decided to give it a whirl. Problem is I cannot select any lower than 1.5V vcore in the BIOS. I should be able to select from 1.3V to 1.7V in 0.125V increments according to the manual, but the lower vcore settings are simply not there. As it is I'm running 7X333 at auto vcore (1.325V). Idle temps with TAT are around 20-22C and 8 hours of Orthos test 9 got up to 42C max. Even with this less than ideal setup there still looks like lots of headroom to go. On a side note I was impressed with the overclock on the 3850. Overdrive detected 760 core, 1129 memory using auto tune. No artifacts after a couple of hours of ATI tool. I bumped it back a little all the same to be on the safe side. As for the vcore, if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.
