Who*do*I*believe?

I'm trying to get my 955BE to*run*at*stock*volt/multiplier*with*DDR3*1600*DDR3*7-7-7-20*spec*Mushkin*Blackline*memory.*I*just*want*to*know*what*I*should*believe*for*voltage.
 
I dunno what's with the asterisks (*) :confused:

But to answer your question:

1.95v in bios is when the pc is in standby mode (idle)

Once you boot into the windows, the cpu starts working and thus you get a different voltage reading of 1.9v. This is normal.

If the board has LLC ( Load Line Calibration) or Vdroop, enabling this will prevent it from dropping so low.

Its normal. Its called Vdrop (difference in bios vs windows idle). Vdroop is the difference between your idle windows voltage and full load windows voltage.

Actually, the bios has a slight load on it...more so than idle in windows.
