Hey everyone,
Im bit confused with this Vcore voltage. I have overclocked Intel C2Q Q9400 @3.6Ghz.
And i have set Vcore Voltage in bios 1.3V. But on Load Vcore Voltage only goes to 1.256V and CPU usage to 100%.
I have seen somewhere people were saying if you overclock your CPU and its usage goes to 100% on load. it means it needs more Voltages.
So im thinking why it does not eating more voltages then 1.256V.

Here are some screenshots.

Also in Cinebench Software my CPU score is less then my previous Overclock ( 3.4Ghz)

Thanks for the reply, looks like this forum is DEAD. But yea in Bios there was some weird conversation in Voltages that sums up and shows the value in HWMonitor.
My CPU temperature @3.6Ghz full load are 72C maxed on all 4 cores. I think i should go higher then 3.6Ghz because temps looks fine.
what you think?
