I was wondering with all the smart people here if it is possible to write a programm that adds voltage adjustments to the bios on pc without having to replace the bios?
I've been trying to overclock my little c2 600 but all I can get out of it is 83mhz. Stupid me didn't think about the voltage when I bought the dfi CA61 mobo few months ago, which is socket 370, so sloket is out for me! OOPS!! any thoughts about if it can be done? |

This would be possible if the system board utilized "programmable" regulators. Most do not so no would be my first guess. If you have a slot1 board then a "slocket" is the answer. If you have a "370" board then you have to resort to soldering to get voltage mods. Some manufacturers offer BIOS updates that include voltage tweaks, you might look into it.

Do a search on your particular system board. Somewhere someone has made a voltage mod. Next, go to Toms hardware site. This is one smart fella as he has all his ducks in a row. Some of the topics he covers may be a little over technical for some. To modify your own board, great familiarity with soldering is a MUST.
