Hello all,
I've been away from the Intel platform for a long time. From all that's been written on this site, I know I can't expect to undervolt an Asus P4 board through BIOS.
What I'm wondering is has anyone had any success with software? Say, CrystalCPUID or ClockGen?
I'll have to do some work on one on Sunday, I've got limited time and all I know is it's an Asus board, P4 northwood 3.0 865PE chipset.
Undervolting Asus P4 possible?

In the past, my answer would be "no", but I've recently heard claims that Asus' "AI Booster" can lower the Vcore from within Windows on certain supported boards.
I haven't had the balls to try it yet because I've never had good luck, stability-wise, with software-based apps that control low level hardware functions like BIOS settings. YMMV of course!

Funny thing is 8rdavcore allows me to some nice underclocked settings and is stable with prime95 etc at these settings. But very infrequently there is a driver that BSODs while watching divx (it happened three times one evening and never again). Despite this I am sticking with 8rdavcore for now.Ralf Hutter wrote:I haven't had the balls to try it yet because I've never had good luck, stability-wise, with software-based apps that control low level hardware functions like BIOS settings.

Sorry for dragging this further off topic burcakb.
