Is there a motherboard which offers a voltage higher than 1.85??

This seems to be a big problem when overclocking. I think if you want to achieve higher than 1500mhz you need at least 1.95 volts

Hi, I think there isn´t any mobo available which offers more than 1,85...so if you need more vcore for your CPU, you can modify your mobo.I have read that the asus a7v133 (I´ve got it) the higher voltage is 1, 85 , but you can modify your mobo and you´ll get over 2,11 volts (aprox)

The Epox 8K7A can go over 1.85 volts, depending on the stock voltage of your processor. The board allows you to increase the stock voltage by as much as .4 volts, so with a 1.75 volt 1.33ghz Tbird you can run as high as 2.15 volts.

As can the EPoX 8KTA3Pro

yup the Epox board will go .4V over the default voltage u can even cut up the L6 ( not sure) and set to 1.85 on the chip and add .4 V to that

Does anyone have a Tbird for which the Epox 8K7A properly detects the vcore as 1.75v? My Tbird AVIA should have a default vcore of 1.75v according to the codes on the core but the 8K7A tells me the default is 1.85v. If you do, could you please tell me which BIOS you are using.

Back on topic: the 8K7A is certainly great in the voltage area. 1.85v + 0.4v = 2.25v! I'm not trying to amaze you with my higher math skills but rather point out that the voltage range is impressive. However, I have found that even at *only* 2.05v a 1400+ Mhz CPU is putting out 100+ watts of heat and even high end air cooling like the Glaciator is reaching its limits. I can't imagine going much higher in voltage with just air cooling.
