There does not appear to be a way to adjust the voltage. The tech support folks at the company that makes the video card seemed to think that there was too much voltage at the AGP slot.
Hmmm-- too bad. One last thing to try. If there is an adjustment for clock speed cutting that back just might also have the unadvertised side-effect of cutting back on the voltage.
Oh, man that that's getting in WAY over my head! I pulled the MB and replaced a heat sink a few weeks ago and I thought I was really getting adventurous! :o)
Perhaps this is what caused the previous video card to fail and is causing the new card to scream. The video card tech folks said the card is designed to make that noise if the voltage is incorrect.
So, if there was any doubt, that confirms that voltage really is the problem.
If the above doesn't work you now have a great excuse for getting a shiny new computer!
And thus the reason for my post this evening asking for specific recommendations of Tyan boards and AMD processors. :o) Thanks! Gil
