    Fancied a change...

    I have some massive changes to both my main PC and folding PC over the next week or so which is very exciting for me.

    Voltage spikes or CPU-Z misread?

    Im testing overclocks again on my CPU (1100t) and I set the voltages manually to about 1.52 (rounded off) but during stress tests the voltages seem to jump from 1.47 to 1.64 and back again. Ive double checked and cool 'n' quiet is off so there is no speed changes - Is this just a misread or...
