Hey guys,

I'm relatively new to the whole "build it yourself" PC, and I've put together a nice little PC with a 1,4 Ghz Thunderbird.
Running ASUS Probe, it tells me under the "+3,3V" section that mine is running out of thresh-hold with 3,6112 something.

What does this mean? Will my athlon explode any second?

thanks,

My Sparkle 300w psu runs the 3.3v rail at 3.47v.

As far as to much voltage damaging your equipment I'm not at all sure either way , sorry. What kind of psu and what power is it?

That is kinda high. What mobo ya got ? You might have a jumper or bios setting to up the VIO which you unintentionally set. I don't ,however, feel that it is high enough to cause any damage what-so-ever. I've seen peeps mod boards to acheive 3.7-3.8v VIO.

Well I'm running on the Asus A7V133, which is a mighty fine mainboard.

I'll check out my BIOS and see if anything is wrong.

This is kind of strange

My Gigabyte used to gave me theses numbers...
12v --> 14.07v
5v --> 3.7v
3.3v --> 3.1v

And i never had any crash due to it...
I always tought my sensor were bad anyway...

I will check the mobo jumpers too if you have some...
Selecting a voltage instead of a defaut setting may help.

That voltage has nothing too do with the cpu. But its for the ram, chipset and pci cards you might have.

For some weird reason also my asus a7v133 has a default voltage off 3.45v instead of 1.33 which gives a real world voltage of 3.55 so i guess thats the same problem you have.

If i drop the volt too 3.33 when im running the board on 133fsb it wont even boot So seems like the asus boards needs 3.45v minimum to operate on 133fsb.

But you can try lowering it too 3.33 to check if it works because over 3.6 aint healthy. Should be some jumpers on the board.

Yeh you have the same mobo as me...... There is no way that board will run on 3.33v no matter what. It even is printed in the manual that 1.45~v is default."it always gets a bit higher in real life." so it might be a bug with those boards?? Mine will not even boot at 133fsb if i drop it too 3.33 even if i underclock the multipilere
