Hi

I have sett the vcore to 1,41 in bios. CPU-z shows 1,392, but when i load the cpu it goes down to 1,376. Have disabled any auto setting in the BIOS.
Is this normal?

CPU is E6600 @ 3,5ghz @ 35C idle and 50C load an a Gigabyte DQ6

yep, that's normal. raise vcore a touch to compensate if not 100% stable.

btw, if ti's stable at that voltage, you probably can get more out of your 6600. try it, let us know.

totally normal. my e6300 takes 1.5v set in bios, and it goes down to 1.42v under load.

Normal. It's called voltage drooping.

.016 is nothing to worry about, as you turn up your vcore you'll notice that the droop will increase a bit more.

Never use CPU-Z to measure vcore on Core 2 Duo.

Personally, I apply the above to all software readings....
