So I finally get my x2 today, and when looking at it in cpuz it shows me that my voltage is 1.248v. is this normal? did i get a good chip?

th3 godfather said:figured it out, speedfan and cpuz were reading the wrong vcore value. when i changed vcore=0 to vcore=3 in the cpuz.ini file it output a correct value of 1.300V. i double checked this by installing the smart-speed program which also showed a voltage of 1.300V
unless your ocing leave it default...whenever your board gets under a little load it will still supply the needed juice to the cputh3 godfather said:ok, but heres another question for you. when in the bios i set the vcore to 1.35 mbm says 1.3. is there a .5 undervolt that happens with all x2's? i thought that these things were supposed to be 1.3-1.4 volts.
dont worry about it honestly...when you start to oc youll have to experiment with different settings anywayth3 godfather said:i plan on ocing down the road (come this winter when it gets a bit cooler in the northeast) i'm just confused as to why there is such a large difference in vcore from what i selected in teh bios
th3 godfather said:its also fucking ulgy as all hell. thanks for the suggestion.
actually now that i think about it...it is pretty ugly...i like MSI core center's gui, its so prettifulburningrave101 said:What does ugly have to do with a software monitor for checking your temps and voltages? lol
SmartGuardian is what the majority of DFI NF4 users use and your the first one i've seen mention it being ugly.
