How do you monitor Vcore during testing?

darrenkarp · 27 Apr 2014 at 15:39

Hi All,

I'm OC'd to 3.8ghz on an i7 920 and so far it is stable. I have Vcore set to Normal with DVID set to +0.0625. Is there a program that can accurately measure Vcore during IBT testing so I can see if I can reduce the voltage?

CPU-Z doesn't seem to offer an accurate graph best test.

TIA

Use CPU-Z

OCCT if you are needing a graph

Use AIDA64, its more realtime and shows the fluctuations in different voltages, will show you all of them too, PSU, RAM, MOtherboard, CPU, the lot.

CPU-Z will just show you what you have set in the bios.

Yes cpu-z does show the fluctuations...depends on mb and chipset though

no graph function though!

I know

was aimed at Jamin

HWinfo64

Great monitoring tool no graph but has a min and max plus avg

Otherwise OCCT is good

In HWInfo64 you can right click on an item and select show graph

why would you want a graph?

cpu-z will show the full cpu voltage load while stressing,if it passes ibt then lower cpu v a few clicks and retest and so on ect

to see trend over time period of testing. sometimes easier to gauge stability over time than looking through endless stream of numbers
