Im running an XP 1600+ at 1462Mhz (11x133) with the voltage set to 1.825.
Using MBM it reads my voltage as 1.84 UNLESS its under load then it drops to 1.82...

Can anyone tell me why that is, or does that happen to anyone else? Not that Im unhappy about this little "feature" of my cpu, its a nice little bonus when Im running at full load (all the time :D)

It is perfectly normal for the core voltage to sag a little bit as the CPU current consumption goes up. No need to worry about it. FWIW I would not use the term "spike" to describe such a small change.

I used spike to get some attention :rolleyes:

Seemed to work.
Thanks for the info
