CPU-Z Vcore

[tweak13]

Why is it that CPU-Z reports a lower core voltage for a CPU than what's set in BIOS? Is this a cause of vdroop after start up? Should I add voltage to compensate for this? For example 1.34vcore set in bios = 1.31vcore in CPU-Z.

That's because the motherboard reduces the voltage when the load isn't full.

Also, voltage sensors on the motherboard are not very dependable.

It's caused by vdrop and vdroop. Both are normal.
