    How is this possible?

    My cpu was at 2.7 volts! Bios was set to 1.55... Any ideas as to whats going on? I am starting to think its RMA time for the mobo... seems all the monitoring is messed up! and the CPU voltage veries by .5 volts!

    Guess the voltage and temp monitor chip got screwed up, but I thought it got screwed sometimes ago on your mobo, as long as my memory tells me (from your other posts).

    could be wrong but im fairly sure that the temp monitoring is pretty fubared with the newcastle chips and neo2 so ignore it ,
    as for the voltage i have read somewhere over at xtreme where some setting caused it to read out the cpu at 3.3v ,i cant find the thread tho but i do remember it said it was highly unstable when it read out the stupidly high cpu voltage so something was amiss
