2.7 volts??!!

aintnospam · Aug 21, 2005

I'm not too familiar with Intel chips but when I checked the voltage on my 2.8ghz northwood with CPUZ, it shows that 2.7v is going through it! Now on my AMD venice, it rarely goes above 1.4. Is this an accurate reading?

stock should be 1.525 for northwoods. what does the bios say?

the reading it obvisouly wrong..with 2.7v that CPU would be fried.

I can't access the OC settings in the BIOS because it's on a prebuilt system (by sony). Is there any other way to find the voltage?

that explains it...voltage sensors on your mobo/cpuz are out of whack.

Yea that's what I thought too. Guess there's not much I can do about it :/

Thanks for the help guys

Not sure what the bios used by Sony is. But you shouldn't need to have any overclock settings. Voltages *may* be shown under some sort of pc health etc. Or try Sanda benchmark program, or even speed fan, that might work.
