CPU-Z and voltage shown on eVGA 680i

Ok weird!! I was slowly incrementing my voltages on my eVGA 680i for OC?ing purposes and when I hit 1.5V (through BIOS) in the latest version of CPU-Z it would show the correct voltage until I hit 1.5 or higher. Then no matter what, it would simply show 1.29 or something really low.

Within the Ntune feature it would confirm that the BIOS setting was indeed 1.5 or above (depending on what I set it) but CPU-Z simply wont show it correctly when I go to these higher voltages. What the...??? The board MUST be running at 1.5V right? I know the eVGA undervolts a bit from what I set in the BIOS but what gives?

Anyhow else with this experience? Using the 1.38 version as it's the latest I could find.

Never heard of that. CPU-z is usually spot on in it's specs, but obviously not in your case. Not sure what the problem could be.

CPU-Z doesn't show conroe voltages correctly. Vdroop on EVGA 680i measured by me is about .05v from bios setting. Also the usual .01-.02v under load. I.e. 1.5v in bios is 1.43v-1.45v in windows.
