Question about VidMod...

[ftlee]

When you "wire wrap" a CPU to increase the core voltage, do the available voltage options in the BIOS also increase?

Thanks,

depends, what kind of motherboard do you have?

 

[ftlee]

Asus P4T-E...

 

[jdmcnudgent]

do you have a northwood?

No, 1.9 Williamette... For some reason, the Abit board has up to 2.2 volts in BIOS. On the Asus, it only goes up to 1.85.

wont help for the willo. unfortunately, the willo's dont overclock that well. the ideal cpu for your board is a 1.6a or a 1.8a. both are very affordable, and with proper cooling, you will be able to hit very high speeds with either cpu, depending on your wallet.
