Hello everyone.

i have a question about the title set up,i have been in contact with gigabyte about the board for days now and not getting straight answer.

question and question2.jpeg provided.

CPU-Z Capture up to four as follows

and my bios set up.

is this a motherbord or cpu fault?

i hope i have the right answer to my question as i can rma the parts if need be.

thank you all
 
My suspicion is that there's something wrong with the voltages on CPU-z program. Like a bug or something...

And you didn't include any screenshot of the voltages in the Gigabyte's BIOS screens. But they should be getting reported there also correctly at 1.2-1.3 volts.

Perhaps if you google 'CPUz showing wrong voltage' or something like that. Maybe there is now a newer version of CPUz (or some pre-release next beta etc) with such problem fixed. Dunno.

voltages are in the M.I.T area which shows three readings of voltages...one at 1.332 vcore and cpu vcore of 1.344v and 1.300v auto

i also see in the area of cpu clock ratio is there is one active core at 42 and the other three are at 40 but all on auto this is loading optimized defaults but with the change of IA VR config to enabled and IA AC loadline set to 1 IA CD loadline 1 to which gigabyte suggested that then did drop voltages from 1.8+ to 1.6+

thank you
 
Yeah but did you check for newer version of CPUz / report the bug to them?

latest version cpu-z 1.73.0 have not yet reported if it is a bug

but if you would like to check this screen shot using hardware monitor HWinFo64 and aida64 and running the cpu-z stress test this is where it gets interesting...cpuz and hardware monitor shows nearly the same voltages and aida64 and hwinfo shows the same. i do know think it maybe a bug in both software thank you for pointing it out.here is the screenshot link

OK. Thanks I could actually see the original image that time.

Here's what I think.

CPUID HWMonitor shows:

* VID 1.275v. That's the voltage going to your specific cores.

* VCORE is being reported as 1.632v, which is also the figure being shown in CPUz window. Presumably that number is probably being taken from a different reading.

For example the regulated input voltage that the CPU can draw from. An upper bound of sorts.

In which case, you should file a bug on CPUz program and include a link to this screenshot.

What is more weird (to me) is these voltage readings on each window differ slighty. Wouldn't we expect them to be derived from the same source? Maybe they're calculated (derived) from a combination of other values. Dunno. Seems a bit weird to me.

just submitted to cpu-z

thank you for your time and will post back here if its a hardware fault or software...
