Its appears that motherboards with voltage adjustments in
the mobo bios are very good for changing the default voltage
for a athlon 1GHZ for example from 1.75v to 1.575, this has
allowed me to use my cpu at 1010mhz (1.63 core voltage) without
any problems, the .06 of a volt is always added for some reason, I
use a K7 msi pro 2 A mobo, this has shaved 8 celcius off my previous
max of 49 Celcius, and currently runs at 38C - 42C full load, I do
have 2 fans over my cpu, which is important. Anyway it is a good way
of keeping cpu temperatures down, and 1.65 volt is AMD's min spec
for socket A athlons, they also say 90C is the max cpu temperature, but
honestly after 50 C has been meet expect problems, atleast thats
my experience.
