Hey Guys,

I had a question about the differences I see in Voltage on my 6300 in the BIOS versus CPU-Z.

I have the Gigabyte DS3, upped to the latest BIOS revision (4E I believe?) and in BIOS is reports the "normal" voltage of my CPU at 1.32500. CPU-Z reports this voltage as 1.312. IS this just a rounding issue or is something different going on?

Thanks,
 
Never trust CPU-Z for voltage readout. It is wrong much more often then it is correct.

He is right

CPU-Z voltage (in this case) is correct. Sometimes for new CPU's or chipsets it doesn't display properly. But thats right.

You set voltage to X value, usually during idle its about that voltage that you set it at. Then under load it often drops about .02-.05 depending on your mobo, etc..
