How to monitor CPU/NB Voltage on idle and under load?

Hello all,

I have searched all over the internet (sort of) for how to monitor CPU/NB voltage on idle and under load, but to no avail. I have, on different occasions:

1) manually changed CPU/NB Manual Voltage (pic A) to 1.1625V
2) changed it to Auto
2) changed CPU/NB LLC (pic B) from Regular to Auto

Pics: http://

I thought NB VID (pic C) was the CPU/NB voltage. This is because in Scenario 1, I don't see any value close to 1.1625V in the HWiNFO other than the NB VID (1.163V). But NB VID stayed at 1.163V in scenarios 2 & 3 too, both on idle and under load. It never changes from 1.63V. What gives?

The reason I want to monitor the CPU/NB voltage is to decide on which CPU/NB LLC setting to use. I could use Auto, Regular, High or Extreme. Right now I'm on Regular, for no reason.
I have chosen the CPU LLC setting using this method:

So I want to do the same thing for the NB LLC-- by testing and monitoring the CPU/NB voltage on idle and under load.

Spec:
ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0
AMD FX-8350 4.6GHz@1.3V (so far survived 10min of Prime95 Small FFTs torture test; will test further after solving the CPU/NB Voltage mystery)
CM Hyper 212 Plus
A-Data XPG 1600-DDR3 8GB

[tl;dr] Again, where can I actually see the CPU/NB voltage on idle and under load?

Thank you in advance. All help is appreciated :)
