i have an epox nf2 mobo... when i got it i had no control of the voltage....i changed it in bios and it didnt change no matter what i did but the voltage was stuck at i think 3.2 volats and that made it goo for over clocking i was up to 230 mhz fsb (460) with max timings...but after a while the voltage went down to 2.76 and when i add another dimm it drops to 2.45v...any suggestion as to what i can do? its an epox 8k5a2 series

    Either run less DIMM's or do a H/W volt mod.

    Sounds like the board's dying if the voltages are dropping on their own, from a place that was "stuck" initially (at a pretty high 3.2v)... could have finally wore the capacitors down. I'd look at the board for any burging capacitors, you don't want one to blow and potentially take ALL the components with it (had this happen once).
