Hi, I have a question. I have my opteron 146 oced to 2.8ghz and in bios vcore is set to 1.475 but in every program (cpu-z/speedfan/mbm) it shows up as 1.425

So is my vcore actually at 1.475 or 1.425? The reason I ask is because I'm going to be selling this and I don't want to give someone false overclock information. Thanks in advance

Probably 1.425. Some BIOSes will misreport the actual vcore, or will have strange vcore settings associated with the reported one in the BIOS menu.

If 1.475 is what you SET in the BIOS then you should be gettign close to that. NEVER trust the voltage readings from CPU-Z etc...they are notoriously inaccurate. The only way to tell for SURE is to use a VMM tool.
