Acceptable fluctuation of Vcore?

[DyslexicHobo]

I just looked in CPU-Z and noticed that my voltage was jumping from 1.50 - 1.55. Should I be worried about this? It's not causing any performance problems/lockups, but I wanted to make sure there's no chance of it causing physical damage to other components in my PC. Or is it too minor to make a difference?

P.S. my Vcore is set to 1.5 in BIOS.

You voltages are being regulated by your motherbooards voltage regulator. They tend to vary a bit and under load you may notice a reported drop. .05v is a very small ammount and I would not worry unless you suspsect your PSU might be straining and causing this.

Don't worry about .05V fluctuations. That won't cause enough change in current (I = V/R) to matter. It's normal for the mobo to regulate as Andy ^ said above.

I get that same difference so don't worry about it. Never caused me any problems.

CPUZ isn't exactly the most accurate reporter of voltages. If you're really worried about it, you should check with a multimeter.
