Core Voltage on Duron 750

[Guest]

What is the default voltage on a duron?
I have an asus a7v-e and I heard upping the voltage will make oc'ing easier. How would I go about doing that?

i think its 1.6 or 1.65 v. check the AMD website for more specs on the duron. you can adjust the voltage in your BIOS.

ignore everything i say

What effect does upping the voltage have on overclocking?

 

[Guest]

it can make the chip run stabel at higher clock speeds....but i'll let one of the OC nuts here give you more details on that. i dont really bother with OC'ing much....my ideal pc is one that runs perfectly and within specs. guess its the trouble-shooter in me, i dont ask for trouble. it asks for me enough!

Can I only up the voltage by means of jumpers? Or is there a way to do it through BIOS, cuz if there is I can't find it.

That all depends on your motherboard.
most modern mobo's support bios voltage modifying. (to varying degrees)

what do you have?

I don't know about other Durons but the default voltage on my Duron 600 is 1.5 volts.
