Jim,

Could AMD have to jack up the voltage because of a heat problem?

No. Jacking up the voltage might contribute to a heat problem however. The only reasons to jack up the voltage would be:

1. Increase the clock speed.
2. Hide a vbox issue. (Hopefully this is not the case!)

If the later, would there be a quick design fix?

I can only speculate on the general nature of the problem. I can't predict the details of the fix, without knowing the details of the problem.

Also, could getting the L3 to run right with the L2 cause any heat problem?

Probably not.

Hope this helps-
Scumbria
