GA-M55S-S3, vcore problem

[gareth170]

as anyone got this GA-M55S-S3 motherboard or knows about it?

when im running a program in windows, if it uses between 1-50% of the cpu , the vcore goes up to 1.46v and if a program/game uses 100% of the cpu ,the vcore goes up to 1.52v... i've tryed two different softwares "EVEREST Ultimate Edition" and "SiSoftware Sandra Lite XIIc" both give the same reading...

its at stock speed..

but i would understand that if coolnquiet was enabled but it isn't.. my cpu as a range of 1.40 - 1.45v with coolnquiet disabled, with coolnquiet enabled its 1.10 - 1.45v.. but when the cpu is 100% in uses the vcore goes over 1.45v to 1.52v.. when it goes to 1.52v the +12v drops a little, also the fans noises drop alittle..

0% uses


100%

my psu a crap qtec 550w .but ive ordered a ezcool 650w psu because i have a 2900pro which isn't in my system yet till i get the psu.. in the bios the vcore is set on normal which it says normal is 1.400v.. ive even tryed settings it to 1.400v manuely because still the same thing... ive contacted GIGABYTE and they said it shouldn't be that much eeven if it was a wrong reading, it should be only be out by 2 or 3...


i had a asus m2r32-mvp which the readings was fine on that but that failed after updateing the bios ....
