Hello
I have Pentium 3 (slot) (coppermine) processor.
ABIT BX6 motherboard.
I've been trying to make my processor work at 1GHz, but it's not stable at that speed. I knew i had to play around with Core voltage. I've downloaded many programs which would measure tepmeratures, voltages.
I went to CPU SOFT MENU in BIOS to increase core voltage, i set it to 1.75 but another function of my BIOS would show it as 1.8. And all of my programs show it as 1.8. I have sandra, hmonitor, speedfan4.7 and they all show same 1.8. But why? i set it as 1.75.
What should i believe?
Thank you

if your cpu is made for 1 GHz, then if you keep your voltage to default, then it should run stable.......however, it could be something else causing problems, like RAM or possibly power supply

Why change CPU core voltage? CPU Core voltage varies Using 1.5 core voltage on 1.75? core voltage low High CP temp and high core voltage	CPU core voltage deviation. Changing core voltage xp 1500 cpu core voltage deviates CPU Core Voltage CPU core voltage - Duron 1000
