    Just wondered if it is just me or has anyone else faced this problem its mainly based around the usage of RMclock with 64 bit Windows 7.

    I managed to get it working by downloading the updated x64 file to get it up and running.

    I was able to drop my CPU to around 0.900volts stable during idle and running at only 1.100 under full load when i was running her on Vista 32 bit.

    Is there a reason why I have had to increase my voltage by nearly 0.5 volts to get to run stable without the BSOD? I have only changed the OS nothing else.

    Might be as the os changed the way it sees the voltage amount might of as well. But otherwise Windows 7 doesn't need more voltage, as I can run my cpu at around 0.9-1.000v fine under load.
