I updated my kernel so I had to reboot. I checked the voltages and it |
16 |
appears to be set to 1.5. It was set to auto, when I selected manual, |
17 |
it said 1.5v. I don't know for sure that is what it is when it is |
18 |
running tho. That could just be where it starts when in manual mode. |
19 |
Since it is working now, I set it back to auto. Don't want there to be |
20 |
anything, so I ain't going to start anything either. ;-) According to |
21 |
gkrellm, Vcore1 is 1.39. Vcore2 is 1.52. I assume that is Vcore2. |

I just bought my memory sticks in the past month or so for the last |
24 |
three. The first stick I got was about 2 months ago. Maybe the new |
25 |
ones are "improved" or something? How long you had yours? |

Is there some way to check on BIOS settings while booted into Linux? |
28 |
I'm talking about things like timings and such. I have gkrellm set up |
29 |
for some stuff. Just don't see timings and such in there. Just curious |
30 |
tho. |
