    Hi my friends.. my sxps16 has a P9700 processor, that for now work with those value:

    6.0x --> vcore 0.925
    7.0x --> vcore 0.950
    8.0x --> vcore 1.050
    9.0x --> vcore 1.075
    10.0x --> vcore 1.075

    But think that i could decrease the vcore value for the highest multiplier.. but.. why can't decrease under 0.925??

    Another question.. i've noticed that the fan work too often than past.. why this?? and the settings are for performance on demand.. tested with idle system..

    It's strange.. because the temp now (800mhz 6x vcore 0.925) is 32-33C.. isn't high!!! but the fan work...

    The bios is A08.. maybe the A10 bios can solve this??

    Anyone tried to undevolt his C2D?? tried with CPU Genie?? it allow to use the .5 multiplier!!!!

    But crash too often... version 1.3...

    thanks my friends!!!

    0,925 is the lowest possible, defined by the cpu or chipset, dont know exactly.

    If you wanna go lower, you have to modify the pins on the cpu.

    after the a05 bios they change the fan to be on all the time, to "fix" the heat issue.
