This board is weird. I purchased it like 25days ago, and it works. It is weird for multiple reasons. 1st reason being, in the BIOS it sets my vcore at 1.475 default. That's really high and when there is a load on the CPU it gets higher by like .30-.40, taking it to 1.5X. When the vcore is set to 1.350, the voltage displayed in CPU-Z is like 1.362-to-1.39 or 1.40, I don't remember it off the top of my head because I change settings a lot. I'm not sure if it's normal for a MOBO to display voltages different like this. (also I have all that K8 and any other power saving stuff disabled while it is set to performance in Windows).
2nd reason. I'm looking at AIDA64, and it says the DIMM is @1.456-1.472 (depending on usage). It should be set to like.. 1.55 or 1.60 (i manually set it to one of these values since I increased the FSB a bit). I actually think the value is correct though, because it also displays the correct vcore. And since its a recognized program and has been around a lot, it gives me more belief something isn't right here.
Any thoughts/comments as to why this might be like this?
Edit: Also, HWiNFO reports that my DIMM voltage is 1.456 @ 100%...
Also, can anyone tell me where I can find the max temperatures for hardware? I checked the gigabyte online manual for my board and couldn't find it and I also Googled a bit. I think my CPU NB is running @ 64C max under load with 1.250v
