3.3 VIO on P5A

[AndreasF...@austriatabak.com]

Hi technicians!
Is there any possibility to set the VIO to 3.3V only with jumpers
on a ASUS P5A mainboard ??

Nope, but the 3.5v setting should work fine. I run a K6-2 at this setting
for months without trouble.

The IO voltage is not nearly as critical as the core voltage and a little
higher helps to stabilize your peripherals anyway...

Apropos core voltage ....
When I first installed my K6-2 333 on my P5A board and set the core voltage
to 2.2V AsusPCProbe always indicated a Voltage jumping between 2.2 and 2.3V,
whereas the BIOS indicated a stable 2.2V core. However, after switching
on the computer a fourth time and running it for about 30min the system
crashed and guess what happened. The CPU was damaged, burned out or whatever.
I was lucky, because my dealer exchanged the CPU immediately and since that
time I run the core voltage at 2.1V and everything is fine. Maybe it was
only a bad CPU or whatever, but that's why I do not trust higher voltages
any more.
