View Full Version : Explain Voltages
Can someone please explain the cpu voltages like what is the 3.3 v for the 5v what are these voltages supplying?
3.3 is the core voltage it is what the cpu actualy runs on the 5 volt is used for the mobo and drives
also 3.3 is not the only core voltage mine runs at 2.2
what kind of things happen if the 5v value goes to low i hit 4.6s realize i need better psu just wondering if its the cause of my sys crashes and sometimes freezing?
thats only a 8% drop not too bad, how hot is your cpu running
after i load windows my cpu is at 50degrees celcius. wanted to isolate problems heat or psu. thinking of going with water kooling kit next week. at idle i get down to 32 degrees but gaming gets up to 50 or a little higher defragging my HD gets it to 44-46 degrees if i gets this thing to stay at 30 or below will my sys be able to become more stable or than will this psu still be a problem with the voltage in the 4.6s for the 5v reading? had my 1.33 running at 1.507 sys would freeze up though dont know what true temps were or voltage on my via monitor the setting that froze were temp 51 degrees 5v was at 4.61? that happened while gaming. thanks.....
you are too hot i run 40 and thats hot, but better than the 65 i used to run what hsf do you have

WTF!!!!!
try putting 3.3v to the core and c what happens???!!!
3.3v is your I/O voltage not your core voltage..LOL...
and 5volt is for the mobo and 12v is for the drives.etc.
GOD....
sorry ur right 3.3 is i/o for pci and isa and what else?
