8k7a default vcore @ 1.85 , I want less @ default how?

[jbslow]

I'm running a 8k7a and a 1.2 Tbird and at the default settings the vcore is set to 1.85 not the cpu's default vcore of 1.75 so is there a way other then changing L bridges to get the default default vcore.

why would you want the default voltage? That's awsome if it's 1.85 at default.

I want to see the temps of my cpu at default core voltage and I would also like to see how high I can oc with the default core. Heck if I can get a good 15% overclock I could use quieter fans and be very happy. I also live in the desert and my house is basicaly never cooler then 81°F or 27.2°C and its usually a few degrees (F) higher. I personally like a quiet , cool , air cooler pc with a respectable oc ecpecially when you build a puter for a family member of course that would be minus the oc.

Change the L7's as outlined here. Hope it helps.

For a cool and quiet PC, watercooling is really the best option, provided that you have the time and money for such an undertaking.

Not serving to advertise anyone, but Asetek is also a great system for cool and quiet PC's if a little on the large and technical side for some however.

That is true! Everyone I know who has the Vapochill loves it. But all that arctic goodness comes at a premium, not only in intial cost, but in operating costs. If a CPU puts out 100W, you can just about bet that it takes at least that and half again electricity to cool it with vapor phase refridgeration. But yeah, vapor phase is a nice way to go!
