When i set my cpu voltage for some reason it always shows a lower number. I set my sandy at 1.425v. bit shows up as 1.392v in cpu-z and everest. With my voltage at stock it shows up as 1.36v, but i happen to know that under the specified cpu voltage it will show as 1.35-1.4v under the specs on the internet. So with my overclock does it mean that once theres a load on the cpu it will apply the specified 1.392v, or no.

Its the same thing with my ram too except i shows higher voltages. Example my ram right now in the bios is set to 2.6v, but it shows as 2.72v on the desktop, and 2.76v under the bios. Why does it do this?

It really isn't a problem, but i'm just curious, so no biggy.

I find my DFI NF4 also shows about 0.025Vcore less then set in BIOS. The value it shows seems to be correct since my Asus A8N-E showed about 0.025Vcore more, and the CPU was more stable at the same Vcore setting in BIOS. My Vcore doesn't change with load, again thats what i've observed with the motherboards onboard voltage monitors, to really check i guess i'd need to bring out the multimeter.
