CPU voltage.

[Keadonen]

CPU voltage=1.968..cannot find where to change it

what is a normal voltage for a prescott intel p4 2.8ghz not oced?

(mine is at almost 2volts 1.968)

 

[gurusan]

umm why is it that high. That's roasting

 

[Keadonen]

i dunno ive never really looked at it. how do i turn it down and what should i turn it down to thanks for telling me i knew it seemed kinda high

 

[TheOtis]

I don't know much about intels but for mine you shouldn't go higher then 1.6. So i'd imagine that's a little high, how high is the cpu temp?

WTF! 1.968?? That is NOT normal. Prescott is susposed to be 1.4v. If you keep it at that voltage, it will die.

 

[Keadonen]

my temp is 48-49 and i cant find anything that will let me change the voltage and some stuff it wont allow me to change (especially the cpu settings)

oh and also i have the side of my case off.

Go into the BIOS, it will be under advanced chipset features or jumperless options (or a name similar.)

 

[Keadonen]

oh and btw....its has hyper threading, would that change anything hope not it'll make me feel like an idiot for not telling you from the start :|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and i have no option like the ones you just mentioned

 

[Keadonen]

uh oh...now cpu-z wont even tell me how many volts are going into my cpu and neither will my bios (as i previously mentioned) any ideas now

 

[Keadonen]

am i in the right forum for this topic? cuase i will repost where i have a bette chance of getting help (im not a fan of frying my processor )
