Hi everyone having a major problem
my vcore is going from .90-1.49. witch scares me so I dropped it down to 3ghz with Catalyst Control Center. also turned off turbo core
my vcore is still going from 1.00-1.24 while righting this but it wont damage my cpu so it ok till i sort this out right?
also my video card is running at 14.96v witch im assuming is bad. if its ment to be 12v
temp have always bin good at 18C right now.
want to replace my motherboard on boxing day to maybe a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
just wondering if I can fix this issue with out doing so
or if it is the psu going to try to get both if I can.

really just want to know whats causing this
all temps and voltages where taken with CPUID Hardware Monitor version 1.19
will post pic's if requested.

Thanx
Dave

if you havent changed any settings in the bios then there is nothing to worry about. voltage is going to fluctuate as your clock speed increases. when the load on the cpu decreases the glock speed decreases so in turn the vcore voltage decreases. the opposite is true.

No I haven't touched anything in the bios other then turning off turbo mode. also all my voltages are form while my PC is at idle. Sorry most important part!
Figures I would forget to mention it.
if i wasn't at idle i could see it being turbo or it down clocking

when your vcore goes to 1.49 what is the clock speed?
when it is at its lowest what is the clock speed?
