i get 2 different voltage readings at the same time?

[joowan]

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?

NVmonitor reads many CPU voltages, including mine, wrong. Listen to CPU-Z. Just check it in BIOS to see for sure.

CPU-z is going to be the right one. But if CPU-z is off then you have vdrop problems.

CPU-Z is right... you're not gonna get voltages above what you've set unless you've got a damaged motherboard

i had a voltmodded x38 at one point... everything i set for vcore in bios was actually upped .3v

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!

i wouldnt use NVMonitor to even measure temps... CoreTemp or SpeedFan will do everything you need
