I have no idea why but I have all the stock settings on my board with a DFI x38 T2R board with 1gb (2x 512MB) Patriot Ram at DDR2 PC800 at 4-4-4-12. CPU-Z reports it running at 2.224v but it reads 1.18v in the BIOS. Now I am computer literate so if someone could explain this to me ASAP as this unusually high voltage concerns me.

Thanks in Advance

What version of CPU-Z? Does your POST screen show the correct CPU description? If not, update your BIOS.

Mike.

it's 1.46, which is the latest version I believe. Everest also reported the same voltage.

Yes the bios reports everything correctly. Reports as an E8400 @ 3GHz

That's just a bug with CPUZ. It's reading the wrong voltage. That is your ram voltage it's showing. I've had this happen too with a different motherboard.

CPU-z is wrong some times. Does DFI have a monitor program that you can check it with?

I have had CPUz say I had 193 Gig of RAM.

yeah but Everest is reporting the exact same voltage and the CPU Fan speed is all the way up around 3000RPMs

i've also noticed if I restart it. It reads 1.120v for a little bit. But then after a while it jumps to 2.224v no matter whether it's saving power at 6x or under load at 9x... like, I wouldn't care if I knew it was a glitch but I'm not about to pop in Crysis with it like this

yeah but would Everest report the exact same voltage by coincidence? I doubt it...

If the voltage was at 2.224v it would be overheating almost immediately and the CPU would be LONG gone.

Do you have Load Line Calibration option in your BIOS? If so disable that.

^ Agreed, although it would be F..ed if it was causing it.

it's already disabled..

Have you tried manually setting the Vcore to the CPUs VID?

Fine don't believe me. Keep worrying about it...
