this motherboard...
asus a8n sli-deluxe
x2 4200+
First, it reads vcores as having a .6 volt flux... meh!
Now that Im overclocking I can't alter the vcore and have it actually change at all, period. Auto sets it to 1.29-1.31 (never stable). I set it to 1.45 and it goes from 1.32-1.35. I set it to 1.40 and its the same, 1.42 its the same.
I called asus tech support after googling for an hour (dont do this if you value your sanity) and the redneck on the phone told me this is a known issue with x2 CPUs. But get this:
he says there is a fix, but he cant tell me. He cant tell me because he cant give me any info on overclocking as it could damage my CPU. . I get into the whole "well why does asus advertise this boards overclockability and have a vcore adjustment in the bios then?" No answer. I tell him that I will return this board if I cant get a fix for this issue, and he says he wishes he could help, but that I should check the internet for the fix he cant give me...
wtf?!?
so here i am on the internet seeking a fix before I RMA this board and never buy another ASUS product again.
And no, cool and quiet is not enabled.
