i have just bought a asus a7v133A. the io voltage seems to be quite high! 1.55v in mbm5 and 1.49 in bios........ plz help me before it fries. the default shouldnt that be 1.3v?? where in hell do i set it? cant find a any io volt adjusting in bios

You'd realy probably get a much better response in the mobo board.

I'd say that there isn't really too much to worry about (assuming that you meant 3.55 and 3.49 respectively)...it would help to know what you have it set at, as well.

I wouldn't worry about it, I've got an Abit KT7A-RAID and it is at 3.51, its set to be 3.4 but you can expect some fluctuation, and I would say within 10% of what u set it at is safe fluctuation. So if you set it to 3.3 i'd say up to about 3.6 is safe fluctuation.

its the default setting when i got the mobo. thats why i think its so weird it was over 1.5v since on my abit kt7 the default was 1.3. i dunno maybe the kt133A chipset needs more voltage?? Also does anyone know where i set the io voltage on the asus a7v133A?

The jumper settings are shown in the manual in section 3 under the hardware setup section.

On page 21, "6) I/O Voltage Setting (VIO)". Jumpers should be placed over pins nos. 2&3 to set to default, 3.3v

On page 24, "9) Voltage Regulator Output Setting (VID1, VID2,VID3, VID4)". This is the CPU voltage. It is shipped in the jumperfree mode by default. With this setting, the BIOS will detect the voltage from the CPU, possibly limiting the overclocking potential. The setting in the BIOS for this feature is located under "ADVANCED" > CPU Vcore setting.

I hope this helps.

GOOD LUCK!
