Post by: snadge on July 20, 2011, 06:05:37 pm: here you go... no Vcore setting - the ALT+F1 'advanced option' is a myth too

Btw,
give more detail ,read from CPU-Z.
Core speed....
Core voltage....
Multiplier.....
Bus speed...

Edit:
reading your Manual and google your board,seem that you can overclock only thru ET6/Quick Boost.
To increase Vcore use ET6 and DVID +0.01,+0.02....etc

I can overclock in BIOS with Multiplier and the BIOS automatically sets voltage.. for 4.4Ghz it sets at 1.284 and seems stable although only run prime for max of 20 mins - does this voltage look ok>? if so then great...
