I'm putting together a system using a refurbed Intel DX48BT2 motherboard and a refurbed (it looked new in the box to me??) Corsair TX650W PSU, a used Q8200 cpu, and an Asus EAH 4670.

I have nothing hooked up except the cpu, one stick of Gskill Ripjaw 1.5v DDR3, and a couple of fans. When I gointo the hardware monitoring section of bios it says

V12.0 12.125v
V5.0 4.999v
V3.3 3.231v
V1.5 1.197v
Vccp 1.089v

What is the V1.5? Shouldn't it be a lot closer to 1.5v then 1.197v?

Also, what is the Vccp?

Thanks for any help/advice.

So Vccp has to do with processor core voltage on LGA775 socket CPU's.

I still don't know what the V1.5 is for??

You need to use an external meter to measure voltages , bios readings mean little.

The rails on the PSU checked out fine so I went ahead and loaded windows. My Corsair memory that I RMA'ed made it back, so I put them in (2 x 2GB) and the bios reading were the exact same.

I loaded Win 7 and Intel Burn test and ran it and everything seemed good. HWMonitor showed the four cores and the first core got up to 58C while the other 3 ran around 49C. I ran it through 3 runs and then 2 runs with custom settings using as much ram as possible with the same temps. That was at stock speed with a Zerotherm Zen FZ120S cooler. Everything seems rock solid so far.

I still wish I knew what the V1.5 was??
