Problems with Voltage readings


Rig is in Sig.

Problem is i set the vcore to 1.45 per say.... But both cpuz and PC probe read it at 1.50. either way i move the voltage it still is off by .5 volts. Thats a huge margin. Anyone got any idea's or inpt on whats causing this.

Your sig doesnt state what PSU you have.

Also, voltage readers can be notoriousy wrong, use a multimeter. And a lot of motherboards will undervolt or overvolt the CPU, and yours seems to overvolt it.

Solution : Set it .05* lower than you need it. And try updating to the latest bios.

Sorry. PSU is 600w.


The bios was up to date with version 603. That is what is listed on asus website.
