ok thanks...
I'll read into that more...
what I've been seeing is a certain chipset will work..but it says nothing about voltages.
So thanks for saying...and the links posted.
is this any help to help me know?...manual of p5q pro is saying:
3.4.11 CPU Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the CPU VCore voltage. The values range from 0.85000V to 2.10000V* with a 0.00625V interval.
• Refer to the CPU documentation before setting the CPU Vcore voltage. Setting a high VCore voltage may damage the CPU permanently, and setting a low VCore voltage may make the system unstable.
• The value [2.10000V] of the CPU Voltage item is supported only if the OV_CPU jumper is enabled, otherwise the maximum voltage supported is [1.70000V]. See 2. CPU / Northbridge overvoltage setting on page 2-19 for details.
3.4.12 CPU PLL Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the CPU PLL voltage. The values range from 1.50V to 2.78V with a 0.02V interval.
3.4.13 FSB Termination Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the front side bus termination voltage. The values range from 1.20V* to 1.90V with a 0.02V interval.
The minimum value of this item becomes 1.10V when a 45nm CPU is installed.
3.4.14 DRAM Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the DRAM voltage. The values range from 1.80V to 3.08V with a 0.02V interval.
3.4.15 NB Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the North Bridge voltage. The values range from 1.10V to 2.20V* with a 0.02V interval.
also qx9770 draws 136 vs 150 for qx9775...yet this board claims to be overclockable..with qx9770...that would include voltage minipilation I would imagine, to go above 136 on that tdp listed spec for intel cpu.
