The PL adapter only supplies a fixed voltage (unless you do the "wire trick").

excellent apoppin, so you can help me out...
do you have motherboard monitor?
can you check out what your core voltage is?
because whatever I set it to manually on the adapter (1.475 right now), the bios and motherboard monitor always shows 2.08 which is way too high!!
is this normal?
what do you get?

Wow... that's awfully pretty good for a 1.2. You've got to be one lucky guy if your 1.2 can do 1.6. Good luck!

motherboard monitor 4.08??
that's an old version.. mine doesn't ask me what voltage my cpu is at, but then core 0 is 2.08 and core 1 is 2.48...
so I hope it's not core 1 that indicates the correct voltage...
also, these voltages are from your soyo board, or PL adapter with old board?
if PL adapter with old board, it's the PL iP3/T? and what kind of motherboard?
so apoppin, if you don't mind doing this
you can get mbm 5.1.9 for free download @ http://mbm.livewiredev.com/
and then uninstall the other first & completely remove data files to remove settings... cause I want to see what your core 1 is with this version... if it's still 1.5... can you try upping the voltage to see if core 1 goes up accordingly?
in which case, my cpu is running a 2.48v!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

apoppin, that would make sense... but then how come your core 1 shows the voltage on your adapter 1.5?
unless its just a coincidence, this is why I want you to try mbm v5...
if you don't mind, it's a 1.6mb download...
1.1 is too low. Try going back to default FSB and setting the jumper - first to 1.4v and then to 1.7v. If MB Monitor doesn't report it's change - it isn't reading it.but you don't have to, I'm gonna run more test later... I'll set the adapter to 1.1v and run the cpu at 1.58ghz... if this works, then there's definetly something wrong right?
correct - it's an OLD MB (what do you expect?). However, you might be able to approximate your CPU temp with the external snesor (if your MB supports is).if it doesn't work, it means the voltage selection on the adapter really does do the job, and the actual voltage on the motherboard is wrong... in which case it sucks we can't check voltage or temperature on the cpu...
Of course not, My BX board requires an external sensor near the core - it is not connected. Yet, my MB Monitor DOES report CPU temps.can you check temperature? me I can only get system temp...
