Is this normal (CPU Z)

[ChappedStick]

CPU Z isnt even close to showing the correct voltage...

Have you tried a different voltage monitor? Or Bios for that matter?

 

[ChappedStick]

I'm using the only bios available for my board (F2) and I don't know what else to check voltages with.

I heard that CPUz was having issues reading voltage from the new P67 (B3) boards. Similar to the bug on the first P67 boards.

Yes that is normal, I have the same board and CPU and HWMonitor shows the correct voltage while CPU-Z doesn't.

I should have said check HWMonitor and the Bios itself. Heh.

Which board do you have ?

 

[aigomorla]

U guys are all completely ignoring the fact that all boards have vdroop.

:X

OP, theres a thing called vdroop.
What that means is your voltage will dip below what u have in bios.

The degree of Vdroop is dependant on your board quality.
The better he board the lower the vdroop.

Some boards now even have something called load line cailbration or Vdroop control.

This will ensure you get constant voltage during load and idle.

Without options like that... you will never get constant voltages for load and idle, because vdroop is a part in EVERY BOARD.

Are you saying the OP is priming at 4.6 g at 1.07v ?

That is a sweet chip ...

after vdroop yes...

he is priming at that low voltage..

however it doesnt help him much does it if his vdroop is that bad and his idle voltage are way up there now does it.

:sneaky:

But now that i read this:

Where did u see that?
HWMonitor and CPU-Z are both cpuid. :\

If your correct.. then i am wrong.. and its not vdroop.

I have no idea on how B3' are... as i didnt get my replacement, nor do i want to until i need one.

1.38v down to 1.07v I would consider that impossible, even the worst vdroop is that not bad.

CPUz 1.56 has vCore issues reporting issues on P67 boards. Only 1.57 corrected this. I was having this issue as well. I read somewhere (I forget where) that the new B3 boards (new BIOSes) are experiencing similar issues (only certain brands) with 1.57. I am sure if this is the case, it will be resolved soon.

wanna make a bet..

P5Q series..
90% of all ABIT boards.
99.9% of all MSI boards..

the list goes on and on...


but as i said, if your correct, about a bad reporting on the B3, then i am wrong.
