Quicky question. I have the P4B533 and 1.8A@2.52 (haven't tried higher yet) and in bios I have the vcore set @ 1.575 but Asus Probe shows vcore @ 1.648 and MBM 5 shows vcore @ 1.65 (more or less same as Asus Probe). My question is why is there such a HUGE gap between what I'm setting the vcore at and whats being reported by these 2 programs? And when it comes to o/c'n should I stop increasing according to the bios or (more than likey) to what the Asus Probe and MBM are reporting? The CPU idles @ 34 celcius and Loaded 44 - 46 celcius; CPU fan idles around 2600rpm (stock intel HS/FAN and AS3). THX in advance.:confused:

this is old news ~ get used to it ;)

Asus voltage regulation is so poor that they need to overvolt the vcore by .08v because under load it will fall .08v!

feel free to test that yourself ;)
