P67A-UD3-B3 : Core Voltage

HEADRAT · 1 Apr 2012 at 10:59

Hi,

Why is my Core Voltage in CPU-Z shown as only 1.200V, should it not be the same as my VID as show in Core Temp?

In the BIOS I have my CPU VCOre set to 1.410

Thanks

What is your VTT voltage set at?

I recently learned that some gigabyte boards VTT shows up as the vcore in cpuz and hwmonitor for some reason.

Use gigabytes easytune 6 to see your actual vcore.

Yeah I think it could be showing my VTT rather than VCORE

That's strange! iv'e had the same Motherboard and Cpu combination and it never mixed up the two. Is that the latest version of CPU-Z your using?

HWINFO seems to be identifying it ok as well:-

I was using mine a good while ago and CPU-Z has since been updated. I would also need to check which Bios version I was using with the Motherboard to make a comparison, either way it doesn't really matter as you can cross reference it with the Touch Bios. How come you are running your QPI/VTT Voltage so high BTW?

What should QPI/VTT be running at?

What ever it's set at standard in Bios should be fine! or a little bump up to 1.12v-1.16v depending on how much ram you have installed. Im currently using an Asrock Motherboard which differs a little, to give you an idea I have mine set to 1.103v on a 2600k with 8GB of ram overclocked to 4.6 GHz.
