I'v had this Problem on three neo boards now so it's ether a compatiblity issue or some other part of my system acting up. The thing is with the vid on auto the volts are set to 1.70 8O and when i set it it's alwas .05 over my setting. there is a setting for over vid thats in % and any change in that ups the vcore to 1.80 no mater what the vid. I checked MSI's web site and it say my mb is compatible with 3400 cg and mine is co. so what do you guys think flash to older bios[i have 1.9] or could it be a bad cpu :cry: ? Also my temps are off by 4c on corecenter when compaird to ntune which should I believe?

those are my bios reading at default settings[1.7vcore] and the vid is not agp voltage, it's volts to cpu[ not really sure what it stands for] :oops: . My agp v is good at 1.5 defaults but my ram seems high at 2.7,I think it should be more like 2.5-2.6 haven't checked yet. I set it to 2.6 anyway. I think my vcore is supposed to default at 1.5. I have it set to 1.5 in bios but it goes to 1.55 on post and in corecenter and ntune. I'm stable at my oc speed of 2.3gh it's just something I can't figure out and would like to fix. is there any good third party bios out for this board? I know clawhammers don't oc well but is this as high as it will go on air [I've heard some say 2.4 is hard to hit :( ]
