Trust Bios or Trust Software Vcore readings?

The reason why I'm asking this is I just built a system for a friend using the Biostar Tforce 6100 and to get his Opty 146 stable at 2.8 was to set Vcore in bios to 1.65 but CPU-Z and Biostar Monitor shows Vcore 1.50-1.52 (fluctuates). I know the safety zone for .090 chips are up to 1.55 Vcore so should I be worried?
 
I don't know about you guys but poking a multimeter around on the motherboard resisters make me nervous.

Where are you guys getting your readings from for your vcores when you post it in your sig?

If you accidentally short something together that wasn't supposed to be short then yes. You can do some serious damage or even fry your whole computer.

Any electrical experts want to chime on in here?
 
Just make sure you've got the MM set to voltage.
Start low, and if it reads OL then turn it up one notch (preserves sig figs)
So long as your hands don't flail and magically have the MM connect two different circuits (potential difference) you won't fry anything.
