Does anyone have an 8K7A or 8K7A+ which correctly sets the default CPU Vcore to 1.75v? The default voltage for my 1.2 TBird is 1.75v but the 8K7A with 1711 BIOS won't allow it to go any lower than 1.85v. I already asked Epox about this once and they basically said ... 'don't worry about it ... it will run fine at 1.85v'.

They all are over. Mine is at 1.81 default, seems the amd spec. is 1.75-1.85v so epox is within tolerance.

Mine's at 1.84V by motherboard default.
I consider it a good thing actually.

Mine seems to run at 1.82V on default, and stays pretty consistent when upping the voltage (1.82v to 1.92, etc etc)

A lot of motherboards have these variances. Some people think the mobo makers do it intentionally to add a touch of stability for those who don't ever mess with speed/voltage settings. I personally don't have a 8K7A, a KT7A-R here. I had it voltmodded a few weeks ago and I use trimmers to set specific voltages now instead of the BIOS settings. It's really the only way to get the exact voltage you want.

I believe mine was 1.81v on default.
