Corsair 850HX voltage readings

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Uh v-core is a setting you control in the bios. It's not 100% precise either, but it's something you are actively choosing and actually controlled by the mobo itself. This is completely different from picking up voltage information from an external device such as a psu using a mobo voltage indicator that almost all software reads incorrectly, let alone the fact that it's generally very imprecise even when read correctly. My v-core number is the setting in the bios, not the actual v-core itself in practice, I have no interest in trying to represent that.

I would imagine that a representation of an output from a voltage regulator would be very hard to achieve a straight line as in a straight number given say such as your 1.2v core so obviously regulators are engineered to keep the output within a tolerance.

I would guess that with these tolerances, the current or volts that pass through the regulators are always fluctuating with-in the tolerances the engineers design them to maintain so the resulted readings are not always in 'real-time.' Which would be a waste to look at. So each individual reading is a snap-shot representation of what it reads.

OP, either your PSU or motherboard is going bad. I say its the PSU.

I think your system is an example why overclocking is never guaranteed.

Overclocking is like strip clubs. YMMV.

how can software measure correctly whats coming out of a psu runs through several tracks transistors resistors in a hundred directions
