Hello,

Im quite new to this so dont be cruel, I am trying to overclock my e7200, its 3.4 GHz now but there is a problem: i've set the voltage to 1.30V in bios and the cpuz software says it's 1.376 :S, which one is the proper one? My mobo - Asus P5N-E SLI

650i does not natively support 45nm processing, this may be one of the effects, also CPU-Z reports the actualy voltage the CPU is using, not what it is set to. Mine is currently set at 1.225 but reads 1.128-1.136 while idle, an more under load of course, my best guess is just the boards readings though.

true, completely forgot bout that. I was going to get 3.8 but im confused now whether should i risk or not if there is no way to find out whats the exact voltage

Yeah, but still 1.376 is too high isnt it? however it seems to stable, so I think im gonna just try to go for 3.8 with currently set voltage, what you think?
