Hi Guys,

I've recently bought e4300 core2duo chip + Asus p5b motherboard...
I wanted to know what is stock vCore of the chip as in the BIOS, there is only option to set Auto or some specified value. On auto it usually keeps on from changing time to time as noted from CPU-Z...
So how do I know, the exact vCore of the Chip ?

Regards,

Benchmark Scores It does boot up? I think.
C2D+P5B defaults at 1.325.
The only way to get the real vCore is to measure it with a multimeter.

btw, you can ignore CPU-Z completely. It doesn't actually read the vCore on i965P boards.

well heres intels site http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9TB

and CPU-Z is right utill you OC or up the volts over a certain point then it doesnt read it right the volts

^Well that link mentions stock core voltage as 1.225V-1.325V ... So i assume, I can safely set any value between this range :confused:

Also for some reason if I set 1.2875V in BIOS as vCore, then CPU-Z (and PC Probe 2) show the value as 1.208V (without any OC), is this correct or r these programs totally screwed..
