I just want to make sure my bios is setting the right voltage to my cpu.

I have an Asus P5W-DH-Deluxe w/ an e6600

right now im at 3ghz, and i think my bios is set to 1.185v. I am undervolting it...

My question is, when i go to the hardware monitor in the bios, it is no where near 1.185v, and cpuz says its 1.192v, and core temp beta 0.94 says its 1.3250v.

What should i do to get a truthful reading?

Cpu-z is incorrect.

core temp tells you the default VID, not the actual voltage. the 1.325 means the voltage your chip would boot at if you left it on auto.

On the E4300 I find Asus Ai Suite Dashbord to four decimal points, matches the PC Probe II (two digits), and also the CPU-Z (three digits). Suspect they must all be reading the same thing. And it is not the BIOS set voltage as all three of these are currently 0.017V below the setpoint of 1.425.. I currently run 1.408V measured, and somewhere in the higher 1.4's near 1.5, CPU-Z goes in the tank and starts to read somewhere around 1.2. Version 1.39 however seems to be accurate up to that range - or at least consistent.
