Accurate Voltage - Software

Which is the best for accurate voltage during prime or intelburn test?

CPU-Z
Easy tuner 6
Core temp

cpu-z shows 1.392V and stable during prime, Core Temp shows 1.398 / 1.411v it even went to 1.413.

When i used IntelBurn test the volts shot upto 1.46V and the wattage went to 140 with core temp however cpu-z only showed 1.40v

Got it

CPU-ID HWMONITOR + CPU-Z

Works well

On my Maximus IV Gene-Z and 2700K, HWMonitor is giving results that are obviously wrong. I've had it report fan speeds up to approx 65535 RPM, and CPU currents up to about 3 KW! It has shown all my voltages dropping to 0.01V at different times, and as the system kept running without any problems (even when it happened while running IBT), so I can only take the readings as false readings.

I use core temp for temps. For core voltage I use cpu-z. I haven't really had a look around for an app that will show me the full range of voltages (other than AI Suite, that came with the board and seems pretty accurate).

CPU-Z normally will give very accurate voltage measurement, if the sensor on the motherboard is up to the job. Coretemp will be reporting the VID value, this is not the same thing as Vcore.

Cheers just realized this today, will stick with CPU and Easy Tuner from Gigabyte
