TH7-RAID Core Voltage Problems

[Ian Nicol]

I recenlty picked up a TH7-RAID that was supposedly new and off the shelf and had been stored as a standby spare for a while. Indeed the unit was in the proper box with all its bits and all the seals were still intact so I have no reason to doubt this. I have howwever had huge problems getting it to go with an IntelP4 1.9ghz and think I have finally found the fault. The core voltage is supposed to be 1.75v. However the HW Monitor has the voltage at 1.64v. I have tried upping the voltage in the softmenu to 1.85, but this only achieves 1.74v in the hardware monitor. Though the PC is more stable and reliable, it still won't allow me to install an operating system other than DOS. Anyone any ideas?

I have this problem to.

Can anyone explain that point.

My guess is that he needs a bigger power supply.

I think you'll find that all your voltage readings are low so I don't suppose you need to raise any. This has been tested by a number of people who are able to show that despite low readings in monitoring programs, the actual voltages are as specified when measured with a voltmeter. I know nothing about the 1.9Ghz chip but if it is a Northwood you may need to update the BIOS in order for it to run. I had a TH7IIR and liked it very much but that was a time ago and my memory of it's functions are very hazy..
