I'm using gygabyte G41mt-s2pt rev 1.1
I tried to overclock Intel E8400 core 2 duo to 4.17 GHZ
but I didn't adjust the voltage as the menu showed me that the voltage is adjusted to "AUTO" I understood that the mobo will take care of voltage
but it didn't (scumbag board)
the computer restarted several times and returned the defult configuration
now how can I adjust the voltage in the right way wihout damaging anything?
