Voltage values to high?

liamcrane · 8 Jan 2009 at 13:47

Just installed everest was looking at my voltage values they seemed a little high so just wanted some advice

CPU Core 1.8v
+3.3 V 3.28v
+5 V 4.99v
+12V 12.9v
+5V Standby 4.99v
GPU Vcc 3.30v

im using this PSU Corsair 620W HX Modular PSU - ATX12V v2.2 APFC

Temps seem fine tho

Motherboard 24c
CPU 31c (core one 24c core two 24c)
GPU Diode 46c
HD 27c

Just want to be sure its not gonna blow up

The CPU and GPU do seem very high try some other prooframmes

What is it in the Bios?

What cpu is it?

liamcrane · 9 Jan 2009 at 13:04

e6600 mate core duo

In that case get that voltage down before you melt it. Seriously, i will not last long at 1.8v. My E6600 does 3.6Ghz with only 1.425v.

have no idea why it would be that high i have not overclocked or anything cos i have no idea how, what do i have to do to get the voltage value down?

edit the voltages in the bios or make sure you dont have any tuning softwae on your system.

Are you familular to a bios setup?
Change the VCore/Core voltage to something more suitable.

ive only flicked through this page so not sure if it helps but have a read anyway.

Use a multimeter. Far more effective means of checking voltages.

Your 12v rail seems a fraction over too.

i normally use everest to keep an i on anything or asus probe, i dont understand why voltages are so high when i dont really do a lot on my pc no overclocking etc, whats the best way to lower this?

i just checked again and now its saying cpu core 1.14v

thanks 4 your help

just used cpu-z to check out my fsb speed and it seems way to high dont understand why since i have not done anything i have posted an image for you to see. really want to lower it but do u do it in the bios?

Is speedstep enabled there? Have you got a shot without it?

That's right. Speedstep has kicked in so it's 6x266 for 1.6Ghz. Normally, when under load it would be 9x266 for 2.4Ghz. Where did you get 1.8v vcore from? That shows the correct voltage.

i dont no where i got that from lol must be going mad, at least i no everything is all good, thanks so much for your help with all this much appricated

cheers
