Measuring voltages

[Street]

How would I go about measuring the volts going to my CPU? Not sure where to stick the probes from my multimeter...

Cheers

What board do you have?

 

[Street]

DFI Ultra-D

There will be probably be something on dfi street but lots of people have that board on here, someone posted the points last time.

EDIT: here you are

Cheers mate

Could be a bit of a pain to get to with a Ninja on top though...

Yep it is quite difficult with a large heatsink but you should be able to manage

The DFI Ultra D typical gives 0.01v over the BIOS setting under load.

At least, that's what mine does, along with a few other people's (measured with MM obviously).

My epox gives an extra 0.1v, I was a bit disappointed with it tbh

You mean, when it was set to 1.5v in the BIOS, it would actually be giving the CPU 1.6? Blimey, that's bad.
