glent Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Sisift often complains about thigns like volatge, use another program to comfirm this issue, try cpu-z and take the vore volatge it reads , google it to kae sure it matches your cpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegis Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Or it may just be that Epox motherboards always report the wrong Vcore setting. I'm not sure though, but it would explain a lot of things, like my Opteron 165 sucking up 2.65V and still staying below 40C . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmokee Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 using cpu-z:the result i get is 0.960V for AMD Ahtlon 64 3500+ (Venice)the specs in AMD.com says Voltage is around 1.35V/1.40V- it can't auto detect it properly?... is it because of the cool n quiet feaure?- is my board broken?Im pretty sure CnQ is the culprit. If you have a BIOS option to disable/enable CnQ, try disabling it and see what sandra says then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
