Voltage problem with DFI SLI-DR

[damstr]

So I just got my X2 3800+ yesterday and overclocking has been coming along pretty good for the most part, except for one thing. I can't adjust my CPU voltage properly.

right now its running @ 2.87 with 1.52 volts. 1.4 x 113% which should give 1.58 volts but is instead giving me 1.52 volts. I tried setting it to 1.3 x 123% which should give me 1.59 volts but still gave me 1.52 volts. Like this for almost every combination I pick, the % multiplier is the only think that seems to be changing the CPU voltage from what I can tell.

Anyone have this problem on the DFI SLI-DR?
-thanks

Dont worry, its normal.

I don't see how thats normal at all.

The voltage from the BIOS and to CPU-Z varries a bit. Even from what you set in the BIOS to what you see. I set it to 1.5 but I get 1.48. It's normal, don't worry.

to get a "true" reading you should use a digital multi meter(if you have one if not they are fairly cheap)....my voltage is set at 1.375 110%(1.513) and I read 1.53@ idle and it jumps to 1.56@ load...MBM5 reads 1.49-1.5....here is a helpful link...there are pics here to show you where to check a few voltages
