Which voltage reading is correct?

kmax86 · 18 Nov 2011 at 19:38

Coretemp says 1.336 - 1.382v
CPUz says 1.240 - 1.256v

the only thing i changed from the bios is the xmp profile of ram
everything else is in stock in the p8z68-v and 2500k

the difference is quite huge so I dont want to start changing the voltages until I know what software should I read

thanks

what does it say in the bios?
generally i would trust cpu-z before coretemp

also run prime95 or intel burn test, then check voltages again

Have the same setup and if you use the asus monitoring tool, it will agree with the CPUz reading. I have the same thing with coretemps reading much higher, so I'd believe CPUz.

Im running at 4.2Ghz at 1.27 volts according to CPUz at 100% load.

I would trust CPU-Z, in every overclocking thread I've seen, people generally only take values for speed and volts from that

bios says offset +

Im having problems with the asus monitoring tool it keeps crashing / not responding when used along side with IBT.

sorry the voltages in my first post have intel burn test running.

Welll go with the CPUz value then, as for me its almost exactly the same as the Asus monitoring tool indicates. And those voltages in CPUz are fine.

Core Temp shows the VID
CPU-Z shows the vcore
That's why they're different

hmm ive always thought that VID nver changes. ill go with the cpuz reading then. thanks for the inputs hope this chip is good
