I set my cpu at 1.6 V in my bios and when I go into cpu-z it reads as 1.586 V. No matter what voltage I set it to in the bios It shows up in cpuz lower. So which one is correct. The reading in cpu-z or the bios set point??

When it is that close, it doesnt really matter, but normally CPU-Z is closer.

Yes, I have the same problem, but CPUZ does seem to be more accurate.

what version you running, usually its just showing the flucuation in the current, it doesn't stay perfect in reality.

I know the DFI nForce4 undervolts by about .046v, at least thats what every monitoring program I have reads. I'd say its normal and in many cases, intended.

You are talking about a variation of under 1%! As to which one is correct - likely they are both not reading 100% correct but if the variation is under 1% then its insignificant IMHO.

Most Motherboards undervolt slightly...
