SpeedFan voltage readout question.

[mrfatboy]

Speedfan is showing

Vcore1 1.31V
Vcore2 2.00V


What is vcore2? Are there separate voltages to each core? If so, is my vcore2 right or inline with everybody elses?

My actual vcore in Bios is 1.35V

In CPUZ, my voltage is 1.312V but drops down to 1.280v under load.


What are the highest safe volts you can put on this chip? I read that people are putting 1.4+? i saw somebody even do 1.5.

vcore2 might be memory voltage. Mine's also at 2.02v, that's what I set DDR2 voltage at.

I may have heard of people putting 1.60 or so volts into their E6x00, but that's something you really don't want to do... personally, I think 1.5v is the limit, but it might depend on what kind of cooling you have. Lots of people are putting at least 1.5v into their chips, though.

My memory is at 1.9V. maybe is rounds up
