Hi all, sorry to post a second thread, but I noticed when I upped my voltage(both the startup value and regular, not the "special vid") on my dfi nf4 ultra-d to 1.425, cpu-z reports it as 1.392...why?

It's probably because your motherboard is undervolting the processor a bit.

That's funny, because I was about to post a very similar thread.

It seems like any motherboard I've ever has had always shown vcore a little lower than what it's actually set as.

What is the primary cause of this vcore "sagging"? Is it the motherboard or the PSU?

My Ultra-D does exactly the same thing, they seem to undervolt. Like my new X2 4400+ it set to stock voltage, but in windows its only running at 1.328v, still stable though .
