CPU-Z Problem reading voltage??

MightyMatt · 19 Jun 2006 at 20:10

Hey guys, just got my 4600+ to 2.75ghz with rock solid stability but cpu-z is reporting voltage at 1.6v.....however in my bios i have voltage set to 1.4v?????

my mobo is the ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe Crossfire

my old board (Sapphire PURE Crossfire) was known to have a problem with the voltage in cpu-z but this seems too much!!

also the temperature reads 46 degrees when idle but only 37 on a seperate thermometer???

you guys got any knowledge of these issues???

thanks in advance guys!

Do you have the latest cpu-z version 1.34.1

On your Asus mobo do you have overvoltage on? Think it adds around 200mv which would give you your 1.6V

Check

ahh that sorted it, it was on auto but ive set it to 100mv, thanks for that m8y

CPUZ reports my voltage as 2.15V. Silly thing!

CPUZ cant count with some CPU`s, it seems pretty random about who it effects too. the other day someone on OCUK showed a screen shot of CPUZ saying they had a 27.1Ghz CPU

21.7ghz..madness
