Acer Aspire T180 R01-C0 With Unlocked Overclocking Options

Hey guys

First of all thanks for the bios, worked a TREAT

I bought some kingston hyperx 1066 ram for this machine, however as i'm not able to modify voltages to the ram I can't get all my moneys worth (stuck at 1.8v need to set it to 2.1/2v). Is there anyway to put this right?

Cheers guys

Sorry if I am bring back an old post. I was wondering if these bios are compatible with the 7750 kuma?

Use the Abit BIOS on the Aspire E380 page to support the 7750 Kuma.

Is there any other newer cpus it can support? I just got my 260 gtx and it's doing well but the cpu is lacking hard. Maybe a quad phenom?

Also... When I turn up the fsb in the bios, it doesnt show up in cpuz. I had ntune and uninstalled it twice. It kept the ntunes settings both times. I deleted the registry files but its still doing it.

The latest it can support are Phenom IIs, but not Athlon IIs and Sempron 140/145/180.

Furthermore, it is best to use processors with TDPs below 89 watts due to limitations in the power circuitry of this board.

MrTangoWhiskey uses a 65w Phenom I 9500 on his Aspire E380 (very similar to the T180). Take note, however, that his board has been modified after a number of capacitors blew up during testing of 89w processors.

Correction: They blew up during testing with 125W-TDP-processors...

So I just put a gtx 260 in this board a couple days ago and it only runs at 8 x.... I dont see anything settings that change that either. You know how hard it is to fit that card in a t180? Hard as balls man lol

AFAIK the Aspire T180 uses the MCP61S chipset which only has an x8 link.

CPU-Z shows my T180 has 16x. I have
