The actual core voltage can be set with the power menu in the BIOS: If the voltage is set to 1.85 Volts in the BIOS, the Asus A7V generates a maximum core voltage of 2.32 Volts after the retrofit.

Since the preset CPU voltage does not match the actual voltage after the resistor has been soldered in, a precise control is very important. Otherwise electro-migration caused by excessive voltages can destroy the processor core very quickly. The two pictures below show parts of two different BIOS menus. While the standard menu displays a preset voltage of 1.85 Volts, the actual core voltage is at 2.32 Volts. The power menu of the BIOS contains the exact information.
The picture shows a part of the BIOS settings. Caution: After the retrofit the selected core voltages do not match the actual voltages anymore. We put together a table for adjusting the correct voltage.
