KT7 Voltage in BIOS are you using to overclock?

KT7 T-Bird 850@952 (FSB@112)
Vcore 1.8 in BIOS
128MB Infineon @149
Radeon 64
20GB IBM GXP
16x Pioneer DVD
10x8x Sony RW

First off when the BIOS says Vcore 1.8V VIA Hardware Monitor reports 1.86V. Which one do I believe?

Two, I bought a cheap heatsink that looks like an orb and ground it down like a hillbilly to make it fit. "Laugh it up cheeseball" (Han Solo), but I was in a hurry. The CPU doesn't get any hotter than 45*C until I raise the voltage which causes a windows to freeze. Are any of you running a T-Bird/Duron hotter than 46*C without problems?

A little off the subject, but does the SoundBlaster Live Value (analog not 5.1) have composite/RCA outs? how many? Ever hook it to a home stereo?

Any new theory is first attacked as absurd. Then it is admitted to be true but obvious and insignificant. Finally, the theory is realized to be so signaficant that those who first attacked it claim it to be their own.

Most of the KT133 boards seem to run a little higher on the voltage. I don't know why. I am pretty sure the HW Monitor is right as the BIOS reports the same thing.

on my abit board I set the voltage for 1.75 volts... for my 1ghz t-bird... when I look at the "PC Health" section it reports 1.8 volrs. it is because abit sets the voltage slightly higher than spec to help with stability... there is no need to worry about that and you can trust what via's hardware monitor is telling you.

I run at 48 celcius in full load. I have gone up to 60 with slight instability
