CPU Voltages?

[Geoff]

i remember seeing a link that said AMD's Max temp, voltage, and process is, anyone remember it?

And second, i have an AMD Sempron 2800+ socket 754, what would you say is the max voltage i can go? Since i can only overclock from 1.6 to 1.78Ghz without affecting the SATA drives.

What kind of cooling do you have? I would say nothing above 1.75v for a Socket 754 on air.

Their stock vcore is 1.400v regardless of the core revision.

Whatever the mobo limits you to.

Since i can only overclock from 1.6 to 1.78Ghz without affecting the SATA drives.

In that case, dont bother bumping Vcore or if you have to, just one notch really

You can figure out everything by looking at your OPN #.

Nice thing about the 2800s is that they are all 1.400v regardless of the core rev

what annoys me the most is the SATA problems that i have, is there a way to get around this or w/e since i would like to overclock some more. Would the latest BIOS help? or is there something in the BIOS that i need to change?

1. Well what does the description for the latest BIOS say?
2. Dont connect to unlocked sata lines and you'll be fine ... if you dont have any locked SATA conenctors then yer SOL

Is this BIOS compatible?:

K8T Neo-V (MS-7032) v. 5.0 321 kb AMD AMI BIOS 7/15/2005
1. This is AMI BIOS release
2. This BIOS fixes the following problem of the previous version:
- Support AMD new revision CPU (E stepping)
3. 2005/07/15

I have no idea. Goto MSI's website and download the BIOS for your motherboard ... if you dont download a random MSI BIOS then you'll be ok (i.e., common sense). From what the description says you probably wont need the update unless your CPU's OPN is SDA2800AIO3B0 or SDA2800AIO3BX (in a pinch you can read the OPN right off the chip itself)
