EasyTune4 shows Vcore to be 1.74V
AMD data sheet wants 1.65V+/- 5%
Sandra shows 1.71V

Not sure that MBM5 has the correct algorithm for this on-chip diode.

CTRL-F1 does expand that BIOS menu.

What is the CPU temp.?
JPS

EasyTune4 and EasyTune5 show 1.9V. When I run Sandra Burn the CPU temp
is between 58 and 62C, the Mainboard temp. is between 33 and 34C. The
Vcore is between 1.9 and 1.94V.

The HSF is a Thermaltake Silent Boost for K7. Somehow the VCore
Voltage is to high. In previous GigaByte boards I could lower the
temperature, but not this one. I hope GigaByte will release a new BIOS
where you can lower the temperature.

About the CTRL-F1, should this bring up a new screen, I don't see an
expansion of the BIOS menu. I tried at various levels to hit CTRL-F1,
but have seen no difference.
