Asus Formula 4 voltages affected by temps?

[blair]

I ask this question because when i had the stock cooler on the voltage i set in bios was my idle voltage and with LLC enabled it would go up under load i had for 4Ghz 1.43v bios when under load went to 1.47v.

Now with WC i set 1.48v in bios at idle its around 1.46v idle and 1.48 load with LLC. its not a problem but its a bit different. Temps are 20C lower with WC.

i notice it with mine, i kept a eye on it and it never goes above what ive set it in the bios.

Well looking at your under load temps I would say it is Ok as it just turns to voltage up to what you set it to while keeping up with the CPU, Not under load it dose not need the full voltage and the full voltage would generate more heat.

What are you using to measure your voltages?

Programs should have another decimal place I think

Always beats me that any of these computer components can claim, either by software in the OS or just bios, any degree of voltage of ampage accuracy to 0.01.

Which being the better reporter of readings is often the one that 'looks' like it's right.

Each of the components along the way of getting that power to the additional component has a tolerance, or fault level, and if you add them all up it's never going to be 0.01% of anything.

.. unless your mobo is made with components costing $1k+ each.

EDIT: Nearly forgot, heat is a waste product of voltage and ampage (power), conversly heat can effect resistance of components and since voltage is proportional to resistance - disco.

im using asus probe ans i also used the prob it points on the board to get the same voltage as in asus prob.

Using voltmeters on the mobos is kind of a nice thing to use - however, even this shouldn't ~really~ be used as a set-in-stone accuracy of what you've actually got.

You need to think about the connection points being solid, the meter's probe cables, the calibration of the meter (we get them done every year as a matter of course), and even then they'll boast an accuracy that's +/- a %age. (for volts it should be pretty good tho)

However, as a guide to what your own board is doing, it's fine. But if someone else says something like they're using "1.47" and you're on "1.48" - take it as a pinch of salt. Every mobo is different. Every component is different for that matter. You could both be hovering over "1.4754" or something silly.
