| Adjust CPU voltage through Windows?
My bios lets me adjust the fsb speed, but there's no options to change the voltage. Is there a windows program I can use to turn up the voltage? |

If your BIOS can't do it, it can't be done. | |

Just splitting hairs with you Vikeor. If it is really old board, it could have jumpers to change the voltage.
I've even seen people get out their soldering iron to change voltage, haven't tried that one though.

There are cpu pin wrap tricks too.
Usually those are not a very good idea though. They don't provide fine enough control.
