help !!....

getting really confused over what source I should trust for my voltages.... got two sources - the bios and Nvidia control panel - but they show different voltages for the same component e.g. cpu core

on top of that Everest and CPU-Z reports a differet voltage as well... ?!?!?

knowing my luck I will base any increase in voltage on the wrong reading and either blow something or not get as finely tuned as possible - and i'd hate that :)

Should I always change by the BIOS?
 
start prime95 or any app that will put your CPU to 100% load and then start cpuid or hardware monitor and watch the vcore voltage, thats your true voltage.

for my 9650 I have to set it to 1.5 in vios for 4ghz. In windows idle its 1.43v and then under load its 1.37v
