Does anybody know a application that you can raise your CPU voltage for overclocking, because my BIOS does not have options for it.
Raising the Voltage
- Thread starter MixedLogik
- Start date
The application is the bios programming itself. The options are there if you know where to look on Asus boards. Asus boards include their own ocing feature in the bios that will automaticlly raise the voltage according to what will work. That's part of their hardware protection design there. With the A.I. enabled you then install the Asus ocing utility found on the software disk that comes with the board for this.

So I insert the software disk
Look over the A.I. section in the bios itself to see how to enable that there. The browse of the software cd for the board will show a utilties folder there or simply run it and choose that option for the A.I. software.
The manual on the board itself will explain how to change settings in the bios while the help file for the ocing utility will provide instructions on how to use that. Remember you can't just simply crank up the voltages on the newer model cpus since they are designed to do more on lower settings.
The 1.3-1.4v range is the default for most AM2 models. The AI utility controls the voltage and multiplier increases without worry about popping the cpu from raising it up too high manually! That makes things much easier.

Ok I looked under AI Tuning's under advanced options under my board.
I get these options
Overclocking:Manual, Auto, Standard, AI Overclock
Clock Speed:220, 221,222, 223etc.
DDR Voltage Control: Auto, 1.9
Multiplier:10x, 9x, 8x, 7x, 6x, 5x, 4x,

The board's manual explains each setting seen there in the advanced menu portion of the bios settings section. The screen shot below is out of the manual for that model board. The AI Booster utility found in the utilities section on the software disk is for ocing the cpu while in the Windows environment.

Thanks
The software utility also has some information there for use in Windows. Manually raising voltages without being familiar with this and that can be disasterous while Asus provides a much safer method by automatically setting the voltages appropiate for the other setting changes you make; clock speed, multiplier, etc. there. Then you can save those settings in a profile for reloading at another time if you return to the defaults.
