I am messing around with my Vcore voltage selection in my BIOS to acheive a cooler CPU temp. Stock it is 1.87 and I can change this in .25 increments. I change it to 1.80 and I get 1.91 according to PC Alert software that came with my motherboard. I right now have it at 1.70 according to my BIOS settings and my software says 1.82. I have different software programs and they all agree with the difference. Has this been seen before? I want a lower voltage, but I want to know why it is reading different than the BIOS. At 1.91 I had no improved O/C.

The BIOS setting is the correct one. It appears that the monitor over-reads by .11V

Should have added this with my other comment. You can reduce your idle temps by modifying your Register 52 settings. The programs are WPCREDIT and WPCRSET available under the Via Tweaks section at www.viahardware.com . The setting in mine was 6C which should be modified to EB. This mod reduced my idle temps by 15C. If you are unsure how to do this contact me. Another interesting group is the news group at alt.comps.mainboard.msi-microstar

I did the modification with the WPCREDIT, it helped me by around 5-6c, Thanks for the other info, I am looking for water cooling now..:o)

My MSI K7T Turbo is at FS135x10=1.35GHz with a Vc of 1.75 V. I am currently seeing 49/50 deg C at full load. I swapped my CoolMaster and got a Swifttech 462-A (noisy noisy thing)

With the Coolmaster at an un O/C freq of 1GHz, I was at 49 deg C with a Vc of 1.7 V (stable) and 52/53 deg C at 1.75 V full load
