NF7 V2.0 undervolting...

Hello, finally im doing somewhat of a descent OC with the new NF7 v2.0 (non S) i had to get after killing my nf7-s v2, but for some reason, the board undervolts vcore, i set 2.0v i get 1.95v, i set 1.95v and i get 1.88v that some times fluctuates to 1.92v all this voltages are under 100% load.

Right now im testing how far can i push the processor, FSB is low: 209FSB x 12 = 2508Mhz, i think this is the peak of the CPU (2400+ Mobile) it doesnt want to play nice at 2600mhz not even at 2.0v and i dont think it is a good idea to up it more than 2v....
should i compensate for the undervolting and set it to 2.1v?

Temps are good (for the amount of heat in the room, air conditioning off, im in the caribbean)

CPU: 46C
Sys: 28C

Thanks to a SP97 + Tornado at full speed. (AMAZINGLY LOUD)

Is there any mod not to add more voltage..but to make it stable?

The powersupply cant be the issue, its a 480w Thermaltake Purepower


Thanks in advance,

Motherboard voltage readings aren't terribly accurate. A 5% error is common. Unless you want to measure the actual voltage with digital multimeter, don't pay too much attention to the aboslute numbers.

It's normal for the voltages to fluctuate a bit when the CPU changes how much power it's using (which it does constantly). It's called 'active droop' and is used to help reduce dangerous voltage spikes. Your changes sound OK.

You could try heatsinking the MOSFETs that control the CPU's voltage. I've heard of people that got better overclocks afterwards. Don't know if it related to Vcore or just that that area of the board is cooler with 'em.
 
Go get yourself a multimeter to check the voltages accurately, mbm5 and BIOS both show I have some pretty crazy fluctuations, but with a multimeter, shows it as pretty stable.
