VCORE seems higher than BIOS setting...

[crazylegs]

I have an OCed AMD643000+ @ 2.5 (295*8.5) with VCORE set @ 1.5 in BIOS of my ASUS A8N-SLi.

However, both CPU-Z and SPEEDFAN show my VCORE to be higher... CPU-Z changes from 1.536-1.552V and SPEEDFAN has it at 1.55V temps are fine IDLE = 34c LOAD = 48c


I know these are still acceptable levels i.e. beneath 1.6V...but...

Should i be worried about my PSU / MBOARDS lack of ability to pump in the level of VCORE that i ask for? Or does this kind of differential often happen?

happens like that to me in my asus mobo too, i think its asus problem

in bios i have set 1.325 V but in cpuz its jumping from that to 1.375 and such

the thing that started me thinking that it could be an ASUS issue is that in the BIOS they only allow a max setting of 1.55V (which would end up as 1.6+V) and not 1.6V or 1.65V unlike some other mboards...

any confirmation of this?
