False Vcore Readings?

[DuceGT]

Hi guys,

I just got this rig the other day and with an oc at 250x10 and a slight vcore bump in the BIOS i was prime95 stable for 18 hours no problem with load temps around 52C on the stock HSF. Then I found out about the neo2's BIOS issue with tempatures. So after updating my temp readings dropped almost 10C on idle and load!...but my vcore readings are still the same. When the bios is set at stock 1.4v...I get a reading of 1.36ish and when bumping to 1.5 I get 1.42. Using Clokgen/CoreCenter to set the vcore at 1.55 it will read 1.46. My PSU is an Antec SmartPower 350W and I'm running my 6800NU at stock clocks for now. I know someone is gunna jump on the PSU. Is there a fix for this or even though there are some differences between the settings and the sensor readings...should I just keep clocking away? If the vcore really is really 1.55v and not 1.46 I would see a decent increase in load temps, but I haven't noticed any.

Thanks for any input.

The reports are actual vcore being delivered, and it has been widely known through most MSI NEO2 owners that the board undervolts severely........

The big heat leap will be once he get up to 2.6ghz and start feeding it over 1.5v actual...

That's the thing with the Neo2...you can't rely on the the vCore alone to get your real voltage. You need to use a combination of vcore, overvid, and some own experience. Even using the overvid, you can't use math to get the vcore you want. The motherboard itself is capable of almost 1.7v, you just need to use it right.

so i can trust my sensors then right? setting it at 1.55 in the BIOS yeilds 1.41 in windows, and setting 1.55 in corecenter yeilds 1.46 :S
