Vcore Prob

[potato28]

I just OC'ed my Whinie up 100mgz, didnt change the voltage in BIOS. In windows its reading 1.628Volts, when its only 1.403volts in the BIOS. Is it worth spazzing over or is it just a error?

well, im not sure what the stock voltage for a winnie is, but if a venice is 1.5, then id say a winnie is in the 1.6's.......... so id say its an error in the BIOS


either way, dont worry about it if u didnt change ne thing ur fine

Ok, but before I started OC'ing CPUZ was registrating 1.403. O well, could be a problem with CPUZ.

Wrong. Both have stock voltage of 1.35 / 1.4v.

What motherboard?

How are your temps? More voltage will drive up the temperature, if you're running at 1.628V you will probably notice something. For example, on my 3700+ San Diego, when I raised the voltage from 1.36V (default) to 1.45V for overclocking my idle temperature went from 27C to 31C and my load temps went from 46C to ~50C.

Gigabyte K8nXP-SLI, and the temps r about the same when I OC 100mgz. Its just the voltage reading. I think its very weird...
