Help with voltages..

[7earitup]

My friend has a MSI 865G Neo2 P-Series motherboard with a Fortron 520w PSU. He recently upgraded his 2.4 socket 478 Pentium 4 to a 3.4E Precott Pentium 4.

The power is as follows:
12 : 11.76
5: 5.05
3.3: 3.15
VCore: 1.29

What should everything be at, especially the Vcore?

hi there

Messed up the first post.. Edited it =)

what are you using to get those numbers. in windows software can be off by a bit. get a multimeter and find what the actual voltages are. because the 12v is pretty low as is the 3.3v.

He is using the program that comes with the MSI board.

Verify with DMM please. Software does not provide accurate output. It must be calibrated with a reference.

What is DMM?

 

[sharkeeper]

DMM

DMM = Digital MutliMeter.

 

[7earitup]

Would the BIOS give an accurate readout of the voltages?

Your friend could try Motherboard Monitor. It will give him at least a second reference though I fully
agree with the other posters that a DMM would be the best way to go.

Yes, the vcore is low. Mine is 1.664.
