New A7V333 manual just released

[Ken]

Asus have now released version 2 of the A7V333 manual.

If you've been confused by jumper settings etc, then download the new
version.

[Paul]

It is actually marked as version 1.01 according to the inside cover. It
still is missing the jumper labeled OverVolt, which mine came as enabled
causing Vcore to run around 2.09V. It does correctly add the VID default
settings in the 2-3 position and does correct the polarity of the HD LED.

I've been trying to d/l it for days but none of their three download
sites seem to have it, how did you find it?

Try the ftp site link, it's seems like pot luck whether any of the web page
download links work

I have a A7V333 on the way - what should the correct setting for this
OverVolt jumper be?

[Paul]

Like my message said, with the OverVolt enabled the Vcore went to 2.09v
regardless of what I did with the VID jumpers. Once I disabled it, the VID
jumpers began to work properly. The latest manual does show the default
settings for the VID jumpers which is not mentioned in the printed manual
that accompanied my board. If left in the default 2-3 position, the Vcore
is set by the VID outputs of the CPU. In my case the CPU installed
currently has a Vcore of 1.75v and not the 2.09 that I was getting with the
OverVolt enabled.

If the overvolt is not labeled in the latest manual, then how in the world
did you find it and disable it? I cannot find this "overvolt" jumper
anywhere. Can you help identify it? This is incredibly poor Quality Control
on ASUS' part. How the hell do they ship a motherboard with default 2+
vcore?

If I'd known this motherboard has the auto shut off feature when the CPU
gets hot, I would never have even looked at it. God, how dumb was I to buy
this piece of crap.

I wasn't sure that I understood whether this "OverVolt" jumper was the
same as the "Voltage Regulator Output Limit" jumper, which are
supposed to prevent an overvolt situation. But it sounds from your
description as if this is something that is actually intended to
increase the voltage, which makes no sense to me. But I'll certainly
look for it, and disable it. Thanks again.

The jumper to enable or disable overvolt is on the top edge of the board
about half way between the cpu and the IDE connectors. (IIRC) It's labelled
correctly *on the board* (the writing is very small). The board I used had a
default setting of disabled so the default vcore was correctly set at 1.75v.
Just make sure *all* of the VID jumpers are set to 2-3 (again default on my
board) and you should get the default vcore *unless* you've manually set it
differently in the bios.

Paul,

Thanks - that's very helpful! I'll be sure to check this jumper when
setting up the board. Just waiting for the case to arrive.
