You can change the voltage on AMD processors!

That's right! Even if you don't have that option in your motherboard. You can mod the pins in the CPU.

I saw this a while back but haven't tried it yet. Anyone tried this yet??

I'm hoping this is gonna work as my asus a7v8x overvolts by default and can't be reduced in the bios.

I going to give it a try tonight. I don't think my motherboard could go below 1.6v though. My 1700+ suppost to be @ 1.5V but it is showing 1.6V in the bios and MBM 5. I'm going to try to set it at 1.5V and 12X multiplier.

I've modified that on my processor, though in the opposite direction. I made the default voltage on my xp1800+ dlt3c to be 1.6v instead of 1.5v. I also modified it to default at 166fsb, and changed the default multiplier by blowing / connectin bridges.

That voltage mod was funny though, as I originally modded it to 1.65v. I made one contact very badly, and it was randomly changing between 1.6 and 1.65... If I made it stable at 1.65, the computer would freeze as soon as it lost contact again. After a couple of crashes I made sure it would default to 1.6v. (ofcourse this was a problem that came from my careless mod)

edit:

actually, I did'nt do it like they have it now on the page, rather I just blew and connected bridges on the top of the cpu... (should have waited for teh page to load before talking out...)

I got my motherboard back from Newegg today and I mod the motherboard for the multiplier and voltage. I was able to change the multiplier from 11 to 12 but the voltage will not change. I guess the biostar motherboard I have will only go to 1.6 volts for the processor.
