October 15, 201411 yr Been running on X04 BIOS for a couple weeks now and when poking at the voltage read points with my DMM, it's reporting almost 0.2+ over what is set in BIOS on some of the read points. These increase in read outs have been noticed on vDIMM and vCore. Anybody else noticing this or could it be a poor DMM?
October 15, 201411 yr +0.2, something is wrong with the DMM. That's not normal VDIMM doesnt overvolt, VCORE will depending on the CPU temp subzero but not by more than maybe +0.05

That's not normal VDIMM doesnt overvolt, VCORE will depending on the CPU temp subzero but not by more than maybe +0.05 Perhaps he miscalculated the scale. 0.2 is not normal , but 0.02 is. Anyway ... actually there is a difference in voltages. Set in bios Vcore=1.36 Vdimm=1.80 Read in bios (MIT health screen) Vcore=1.368 Vdimm=1.812 Read in Windows (Tweak Launcer B14.0916) Vcore=1.359 Vdimm=1.80 Measured in reading points (with multimeter) Vcore=1.379 Vdimm=1.82

These increase in read outs have been noticed on vDIMM and vCore. Anybody else noticing this or could it be a poor DMM? search for a 1.5V battery and/or 9V block and look what your DMM shows... Mine broke a while ago and showed crazy high values as well...
October 23, 201411 yr Author Perhaps he miscalculated the scale.0.2 is not normal , but 0.02 is. No, it would be BIOS set 1.9v and when reading from read points shows ~2.1v. Also would climb between readings. So I set 1.85v vDIMM, read 1.9Xv, remove DMM, replace and it would be .001+v with no changes in load or voltage amounts, just a few seconds. search for a 1.5V battery and/or 9V block and look what your DMM shows... Mine broke a while ago and showed crazy high values as well... I will check this also. Weird thing is some of the read points were giving values I felt for in normal range. Granted this is a very low cost, cheap, old DMM. Going to replace battery and check with a battery. No RAM or CPU has died so don't think the board is overvolting. Or they are really strong
November 6, 201411 yr Author For anybody curious, issue was resolved by battery replacement. Values are inline with how they are set in BIOS and no issues with the board at all.
November 7, 201411 yr I found a problem with the board. if you use the oc ingntion button, sometimes the vccin, does not rise to the requested value, the mb put 1.75v
