| A friend of mine wants me to ask this question. Please keep in mine this is NOT Mauwakee asking LOL. Ok, the question (SIGH)
How do you reduce the main voltage on an Asus P5A motherboard? He has two hard drives K6-500 one at 13GB, the other 1.7GB. 3 Fans Geforce 256, 2CDR running at 13v.
There is no motherboard documents. Also, already suggested to look up web site and when I asked him to take some voltage reading he is using some software I think he said Asus voltage reader. I suggest to get a voltmeter and take real ones he said that this was just a good. So, if anyone wants to have at this please do. Please keep in mine this is not me asking LOL. I keep all of mine paper work LOL | |

| why does he want to reduce the main voltage?
to provent damage to the CPU I dont think the board would start POST without the correct level of voltage from the power supply. | |

| That I cannot answer. He is one of those people that had a class or two now thinking that they are either High IT Net workers or Engineers. However, either works for CVS, of a gas station LOL. | |

| LOL J5. I'll tell him that one. | |

| Thanks  | |
|
| Canīt lower the voltage without changing the voltage regulators on the MB 
but note the voltage sensors and software that reads them are not accurate  | |

| Use a motherboard voltage reducer. | |

| If there are variable potentiometers in the power supply then twiddle them.

| leave the potentiometers alone , toying with them will end in tears | |
|
| So if you want to know if youre voltage is to high use a multimeter , youre software for this messurement is not to be trusted. | |

| I always use a genuine fratestien with highplyne wiring works every time. | |

Refurbished or brand new? | |
|
|
|
| Why not go all the way and put the power supply in water to
make it salt water ??? | |
| Tech Ranger 2002-07-22, 9:00 pm |
| Can't you lower the Voltage by subtracting Volts. For example if you have 3.3 Volts and you subtract 1.1 Volts, wouldn't you be left with 2.2 Volts? | |
| Tech Ranger 2002-07-22, 9:06 pm |
| Also, once I bought a 9V battery. I wanted a lower Voltage, so I exchanged it at the store for a 1.5 Volt battery. The procedure for lowering the Voltage was quite easy. I just handed it to a gentleman behind the counter and he handed me a new battery. I can e-mail you documentation if you didn't follow that. | |
|
| I dont think the regulators for the 12 volt,
are variable. But you can allways open youre case and get the number of the regulators , and search for their data sheets (http://www.farnell.com/datasheet/datasheets.html)
But why worry about this as stated before the software isnīt allways right. | |
|
| You gave him 9v and he handed you 1,5v ?
I think he ripped you off
You should have got 7,5 in exchange

NO. for 1 x 9v battery you should have received 6 x 1.5v batteries. | |

| when doing your timings make sure you've got second hand. | |
| MistyRing 2002-07-23, 5:48 am |
| A good way of making sure you have a second hand is by counting them using the fingers on your first hand. | |
| enforcer 2002-07-23, 6:06 am |
| look
on the first hand you have MAN
on the second hand you have WOMAN
on the third hand , god really screwed up

| Mauwakee 2002-07-23, 10:36 am |
| Well I copy ALL of your suggestions to my friend. I'll call tonight to see if he still alive LOL. | |
| gauji 2002-07-23, 12:27 pm |
| lol | |

| tell your friend to go to the store and get:
1) a yard of steam
2) a long stand | |
| enforcer 2002-07-24, 2:25 am |
| while he's at the store, can he pick up fork handles | |
| bearing 2002-07-24, 3:14 am |
| Thecomeons,
I think he'd be better off asking for a 'long weight' than a 'long stand', most places I've been to recently don't seem to stock long stands anymore.. | |
| Tech Ranger 2002-07-24, 6:30 am |
| Try replacing your friend. I have seen many documented cases where this solves the problem. |
