Measure Vcore with multimeter?

So the past few days I've been testing out different clocks on my 2500k and have it setup to turbo from 4.4 to 4 ghz and down clock to 1.6 ghz. however in order to do that i had to set vcore to "normal" in the bios and adjust the "dynamic vcore" dvid setting. however i cannot figure out what my voltages are in windows. i've used cpuz, aida64, easytune, realtemp. and they all seem to give different values. cpuz is like 1.056v, aida64 and realtemp say 1.376v, and easytune says 1.14v. So now i'm trying to find some contacts on the mobo to measure vcore and see what the voltages actually are. Can anyone me in the right direction on where to measure?

cpu: 2500k
mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3
 
When using offset mode or DVID on some boards the cpu's vcore will fluctuate under load depending on what is hitting the cpu and how many cores are loaded.

Use the latest cpu-z to check vcore under load.

Use something like Intel Burn Test to load the cores.

Looking at cpu-z while running Intel Burn Test should give you a accurate vcore under full load.

Try it and see.
