I cant seems to know what my core voltage really is. every software i tried gives me a different result :(
If someone could help me it would be much appreciated.

Solution
the bios would tell u the right voltage. thats the most accurate no software can give u more accurate voltage than what u see in the bios.

Yeah i know that but when i set my voltage to lets says, 1.3875 in bios all the software that i have reports 1.368 (the ones that works anyways) and goes down to 1.326 under full load
 
Its not uncommon for cpu-z to report some voltage fluctuation. That's pretty normal. My core voltage has the same .016v dance. Maybe those are the increments cpu-z uses or reads? Speedstep is why when your system is idle it will show the 2Ghz speed. Finally when only using one core only one core will get hot.

CPU-z don't work with my CPU, it always reports Core VID @ 1.225, the funny thing is that if all settings are set to auto in bios CPU-z will report Core VID up to 1.375 and update in real time but as soon as i set the CPU frequency manually it just stays at 1.225

Am about to do that and one more thing, in bios i have the voltage set at 1.3875 and in HWiNFO32 it says 1.348-1.352 and under load it goes done to 1.328, is that normal?

This is the result i get after gaming for 30mins HWiNFO32 with everything set to auto

what i want to know is if i set the frequency manually to 4.2GHz what should i set the voltage to?
