Yeah, you need to lower the Vcore as Hmon sets it too high by default. Set Vcore for 1.50 and you'll be fine. My core shows 1.63 with a Duron 800, so yours sounds about right. | |

I checked my bios voltages and its set to 1.70v default.
Is that right? Or did you mean just change the temp that is in Hmon |

You might also want to check into a neat little utility called VCOOL.
It will put your CPU into a true idle mode when not in use, giving you a much cooler idle temp. It also has a nice little function of putting a temperature monitor in the systray, so you can see at a glance what the system and CPU temps are.
I got excellent results with everything from a Slot A Athlon (KX133 chipset) to a Socket A Thunderbird (KT133) to an XP1600 (AMD 761 chipset). The temps are right on the numbers with MBM5, and my idle temp on each dropped by 5 to 10 degrees Celcius.
PS - Try setting your core voltage to 1.65 or 1.675 in the bios, I'm running my 900 T-bird @ 1.1Ghz with core set to 1.675. No stability problems at all.

Nah, 35c ain't bad for an AMD chip. My Duron 1.0Ghz idles at 38/39c, and rises to 43-45c under full load. Of course, it is OCed to about 1. 18Ghz. 
Edit: typo..  | |

NDC, what version of VHM do you have and where did you get it?
| I'm using VIA HM V.2.04 and it's the version that came with my Abit VP6. This version works fine on all versions of Windows, including Win2k and XP...
I just sent you a compressed copy (700KB). Check your e-mail. Maybe this will help...

Let me get this straight. The V.2.04 I sent you works on XP and the V.2.04 that came on your CD doesn't? | |

Well theres something wrong My CD came with 2.04.
I didnt reinstall it but I just ran it off the CD and it worked fine.
Any reason why it would mess-up and work now?
I just thought I did install the newest 4-in-1's this afternoon, Think that would be a reason or just some file it needed was messedup? | |
