Motherboard over volts?

[shinzwei]

In my bios it says that the vcore is at 1.65. But MBM5 says its at 1.70. I have an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe rev. 1.04 with the new 1008 bios and a 2500+. Is this normal?

yes, asus generaly overvolts a little bit

Really? Now im afraid to overclock it to 3200+. 1.75 would be 1.80 volts.

So just it to 1.70 volts, that'll give it 1.75

It's no big deal, the NF7 mobo's undervolt, so if we want 1.75, we gotta set it to 1.80 or 1.85v

Just keep an eye on mbm5
