I have a MSI KT3 Ultra with an Award BIOS. I am trying to lower the voltage but unfortunately find that it only goes as low as 1.7v.
Is there a way I can force it to lower the voltage, without physically modding my CPU? Is there a pre-modded BIOS? Thanks!
My CPU is an Athlon XP 1700 Palomino (.18micron) and the default voltage is 1.75 volts I think. Im trying a 100FSB to make 1.1GHz but I want to lower the voltage also so the chip dosent burn out. Thanks!
Modding BIOS to support lower voltage, possible?

I've looked for a mod for my asus a7v8x to lower the vcore of my palomino. Asus boards over volt anyway which is very annoying.
If I put a new thouroughbred in there it would happily run it at 1.5v, so why not give this option in the bios for the palomino?
I've found this site http://www.ocinside.de/index_e.html, it has some interactive guides on connecting the bridges and it looks like you may be able to change the vcore actually on the processor. Haven't tried it yet though!
