Actual voltage control for my board?

[AverageNinja]

Hey there c3d:
So lately I've been trying to get some nice clocks on my trusty old Antique Rig again, but I feel like my results are being hindered by the fact that I can't really set proper voltages. I only get 4 options:
Auto, +5%, +7,5% and +10%.
When I tried booting at 2.10GHz, it kept failing because the voltage wouldn't increase enough (only from 1.6v to 1.648v).
I feel like this thing could do a lot more if I could manually set the voltage, I did some research and I know this thing can handle more than 1.65v.
Anyone know if I need to update my bios or something? Or can't this board do this? My board is the GIGABYTE 7VT600-RZ.
Thanks in advance

With stuff that old mate if its not on there you either need to hard mod it or get a different board.

Overclocking was for the more expensive boards back in those days

Agreed, I seriously doubt it is there. Imo, with your rig, it's not really worth it to spend a lot of time/money/effort on it either.

Better get those new toys soon dude

I always found the most fun with old gear like that was just to work with what you've got...

Stick it on +10% and see what your absolute limit is... it's what I used to do when I was younger and had no money, kit or anything
Nice way to learn how to OC, will make you appreciate a good board all the more

^^ Yeah, you're right
I just did some booting at +10%, or at least an attempt, and I guess the 2.10GHz I reached a few days ago really was the maximum. 2.11GHz and the PC won't even get to the "windows is starting up" screen (just BSODs before it can show up)
