CoreCenter confusion! Please explain.

Hi,
There are two different Vcore voltages displayed on the CoreCenter program, one on the main panel (1.37V) and one on the extended tab on the left (1.5V) (after you click on the red triangle. How come? Which one is the real core voltage?

1.37v is what CC reads the cpu voltage as currently being and the extended tab shows the deafult voltage, so if it is accurate you are undervolting quite a bit. You can click the button by the vcore in the extended tab and use the + sign to increase CPU voltage and hit OK for it to take effect, but if the system runs stable now and you aren't into overclocking then the lower vcore is a good thing, because same speed on less voltage means less heat and power draw

I don't OC it right now because the idle temp is about 43 degree with stock HSF. I am not sure if CC reads the right voltage. Anyone know if MBM5 works on MSI K8N Neo2 Plat? I would like to use this software to double check. Thanks!

MBM should work just fine, I use everest home edition and look under the sensor tab myself. I Don't need any of the other features of MBM or speedfan currently.

update corecenter to 1.50 if you have not yet...and upgrade you bios also thro net...then you'll get the temps below 40deg

Core center was crap, so I just unistalled it and I use MBM5. Not sure what rev it was though, so 1.5 might fix most of the problems.

So, Can I assume that MBM5 work on MSI K2N Neo2 MB?

 

[Ike0069]

Yes it does. Might have to adjust which sensor it reads is all.
