So i replaced everything that looked bad to me and got the board tested but the voltages I get on the secondary are 12 volts, just wanted to ask if this is correct? I thought it should be 18v....

I've recently updated bios from r0180z9 and this is folder I found online and used, it supposed to be unlocked but I can't change clock speeds.

I hope this is what you meant:...

Hi.
I've just upgraded from i5 2340m TDM 35W to i7 2860QM TDM 45W. All is working fine except during stress test the clock multiplier stays capped at x28 which is 2.8MHz and power draw stays around 35W so it seems the motherboard is limiting power draw. On various websites it reads it should go to 3.3MHz on all 8 cores stressed.
What is the best way to go about raising power limit.
a) Bios upgrade/unlock?
b) Hardware/shunt mod?
c) Reduce the CPUs voltage somehow?

Can anyone help with...

Thanks. I'll look for something more powerful....
