Hello,

While in the process of OCing my i5 2500k I stumbled into the issue of not being able to read my VCore with any kind of software. I attached pictures of my bios settings and windows software readings.

Any feedback towards the OC / VCore issue is highly appreciated,

Thank you.

Hw monitor is showing this voltages but is he swap names ;)
On red you have CPU Vcore * they are lower compared to bios setting this normal when VRM is pushed beyond design values.
On green QPI/VTT :)

I can't see anything red nor green in my pictures. Can you assist me further in locating the colors?

on HW monitor, under the voltages, look at the one that says CPU at the bottom, thats the correct one.

gigabyte boards display it different for some reason.

Btw, you might find you dont need as much voltage as you have, thats fairly high for 4.5Ghz

real temp on your desktop appears to read VID voltagein upper right corner . Im not sure if that was something you had wandered or not. If the voltage seems high there do not get stuck on that number. I dont think VID is something which can be set or changed.
