im pretty sure Digi+VRM is by asus. the VRM is the Voltage regulator module, it supplies the CPU with the right voltage. good overclocking motherboards have solid capacitors and a high power phrase eg. 8+2 like the UD7 or UD5 or UD3 ect. the VRM should be left of the CPU socket (bunch of capacitors lined up, i have and AMD mobo)so under AI tweaker in my mobo i found this DIgi + VRM thign im not sure what it does or how to use it. can someone tell me how and if it will help me get better overclocks?
thats just a little definition from my prospective.

im pretty sure you dont have to touch the settings of the VRM, you got the new ASUS mobo (VRM under large heatsink near cpu)

DIGI+ VRM = Digital Voltage regulator module which provides better overclocking, and lasts longer
the VRM spread spectrum option, asus claims it enhances system stability

You'll find yourself dishing hundreds of dollars out for a few extra MHz and a few less degrees for temps.

You do not have to do anything through your bios. Use AI Suite II to overclock. It works as good as the bios with no reboot. Digi+VRM is a powerful combination of analog and digital design elements that reduces Vdroop and increases stability when overclocking...... If your at 4.1GHz stable at 1.38V on Vcore, I will eat your shorts...... You are not stable at that overclock......

Tazman, please run a stability test for say 8h, take a screenshot and post it here.If your at 4.1GHz stable at 1.38V on Vcore, I will eat your shorts......
Then, wear your underpants for like a week, package them and send them to this guy. It will be funny.
