Low Vcore /w MSI K8N Neo2?

Hmm...

Think I finally figured out why my OC's were quite horrible /w my below setup in sig. It appears the vcore on this board is quite off. I had the VID set to 1.55, and checked Bios/MBM 1.4, and CPUZ says 1.42. So I set the VID over amount to 5% and now their all 1 tenth of a volt higher. Super PI stable too!

240FSB
HT 4
Vcore 1.5V
Ram 1:1 2.5-3-3-8 1T

Do any of you with this board notice this problem.

Oh yeah bios 1.4 official.

Yep, this board definitely undervolts the 90nm cpus by a good amount for some strange reason; I run at 1.55v +5% for a Vcore of 1.52v.
