J joowan In Runtime Messages 268 Oct 19, 2008 #1 i realized that NVmonitor and CPU-Z gives me two different voltage readings on my CPU, my voltage is set at 1.3v in BIOS as you can see, NVmonitor is showing more than 1.4 volts, while cpu-z is giving me 1.29 is this anything to be concerned about?

BongWizard Electical Engineer Messages 916 Location OZ Oct 20, 2008 #6 with a standard pencil mod i suppose you could get a bit of a voltage increase if you've got a wider contact surface, but 0.3V?? seriously? dude... thats crazy! you'd be fryin your cpu pretty quick if you didnt realise!
