I have my 6600 running at 3.4 right now and according to the BIOS at 1.35 volts, BUT according to CPUZ and EasyTune(Gigabytes monitoring software) It is running at 1.4! Why is that? Which one is right?
 
So I set the voltage to 1.3 in the BIOS now and I boot up into windows and both of the programs still say 1.4 volts! I think it might have something to do with the "optimize voltage setting". After I changed it to 1.3 it changes red and flashes saying that voltages are not optimized. So I "optimized" them. What exactly is going on here? Any help would be great!
 
Odd, afaik That board, of which I own one seems to slighty undervolt the cpu.
 
SpeedFan gives me the most accurate core voltage readings.

Set voltages manually and turn off any overclocking / voltage help type feature.
