Just thought I'd post to see what people's opinions are. The computer is rock solid, did prime for 14hrs and orthos without a hiccup. The strange part is in the bios I know i have the vcore at 1.45v

bios and actual vcore tend to differ, its called vdroop(i'm pretty sure), its usually a mater of 100ths but in your case its a bit more, its just one of those things as far as i know.
 
just to add, on asus boards, well on my ones instead of the droop I get overvolt, so when I set cpu volts I always set it lower than what its meant to be set at in the bios, as all windows based monitoring programs see the voltage as higher than what its set at in the bios, this only happens with my asus boards.

bios = 1.315v
windows monitoring apps = 1.340v - 1.355v

So only with a volt meter will I be able to tell wtf is accurate, but I think its a case of asus boards giving out that touch extra volts as I have heard a lot of ppl say same thing about their asus boards, but the rigs are stable with what I have them set at so it isnt really a problem to me.

If its stable and your happy with it then it isnt a problem, it only becomes a problem if the rig starts to crash and you start getting errors for no apparent reason, I would just leave it the way it is if its stable and not causing problems.

Click to expand...

Thats what I was guessing, but usually its like you said, a small difference, not .24v like in my case.
 
I'm guessing you have a 680i board? CPU-Z screws up the VCore reading when the voltage is above 1.45V.. Use Speedfan to get the actual reading.

*Edit* nm, saw that you have a P965 board... maybe that problem is everywhere..
