What is my Vcore! (AM2)

[mabaty]

Ok so I am trying to play around with overclocking my cpu (specs below) but the problem I am having is that in ASUS pc probe and ai booster it is saying my voltage is around 1.49 and when i open up cpu-z it says it is around 1.312...so my question is which do I trust i mean that is kinnda a big diffrence right? any suggestions would be great and thank you.

Trust your BIOS.

So should i base my voltage increases off cpu-z? is that what you recommend?

Ok so I brought my HTT to 220 which gets me to 2.4Ghz, which is where i want to be, my bios reads voltage at 1.40, so i brought it up to 1.412 and now the system loads windows, but again pc probe reads temps at a nice 29-32c temp while the bios reads 39-41c so again wtf, no way for me to watch the temps while running prime 95.

just for reference, my BIOS is set to 1.425 vcore and CPU-Z reads 1.456 volts.

This is a bunch of crap, ok so bios reads vcore volts are at 1.47, ai booster reads about the same 1.48-1.49, cpu-z and speedfan read 1.312, so i manually set my vcore to 1.325 in bios for a 200mhz OC, boots fine and i am running prime 95 right now to test, now cpu-z and speedfan read 1.216 and ai booster reads 1.40. it ran stable at 1.415 vcore for and hour or so in prime 95 so now i am trying for the 1.325 vcore.....this is pissing me off, i mean thats a huge diffrence and every program reads diffrent by some amount.

Even though it is very buggy, you may want to try using SysTool from www.techpowerup.com to try and change your voltage and see how CPUZ reacts to that.

Ok so I have been playing around w/volts and using my manual settings the stock set voltage is 1.400 which i figure because set manually it gives me the same readings as "stock" so when before i set my cpu voltage to 1.325 at same 200mhz overclock it seemed to run just as stable 1 hour and a few minutes of prime 95 fine? is this normal at all??
