How do i Change The Voltage?

[zexmarquies01]

Sorry about this being a Newbie Question, but how do i do it? Is there a Program that will let me do it, or can i do it in the Bio's, or what? Hope someone can help. the stuff i am using are in my Sig. Thanks

Have a look in your manual. There is normally a section in the BIos that deals with Bus frequency and voltages.

thats even if your motherboard will let you

Thanks The Manual shows that you have 4 choices in terms of VCOre adjustments NORMAL +5.0% +7.5% +10%Everything looks to be under the VCore Voltage Menu inside the BIOS according to the manual.

When your PC powers up you will often see a Dialogue informing you of Hitting 'F1' or 'Del' to enter the BIOS, (this appears as your CPU speed and RAM is checked)
Enter this key to enter the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) now look for a selection entitled CPU frequencys, CPU configuration etc, enter this section.

There will most probably be a setting named CPU VCore with choices such as +0.25 / +0.50 / +0.75, choose one then reboot, your CPU voltage will be changed, just remember that there might be other voltage settings for say VDimm (RAM) VIO (AGP/Motherboard) so don't increase the wrong one.

Also check your temperatures, 1.85V should be ok with your Air-Cooling but anymore if your board allows it could be dangerous in Heat output, just check your temps are ok as increasing the Voltage increases the temps a lot more than you could expect.

If your Mobo doesn't allow you to increase the Voltage there is another way, by connecting some bridges on your CPU intself, with a pencil, however If your board doesn't offer VCore adjustment I doubt it will have many overclocking options, so its most likely not to be nessecary.

Hope this help,
PM me with any questions or quesries you may have :)

Thanks Everyone. Yeah i know how to get into bios, and overclock and all, But someone something like this was going over my head. i knew my motherboard would let me to go up 5,7,or 10 percent for voltage, but i wasn't sure if that was the only way. But unfortunatly i don't have the mulitpliers Unlocked on my Processor yet, so i can't do a WHOLE lot of overclocking, plus i'm still stuck with Air cooling. But it never hurts to know how to do stuff. even if you will never be able to do it. But thanks everyone. Thats what i love about this place, A person could be EXTREMLY smart about computers, or anything, and doesn't know something, and no one makes fun of them, or anything. or the person could be a complete newbie. Thats why this webpage is Still around, and Thriving so well, other than Debated topics, there are no Harassing others or anything. Thank you all.
