509588	2006-12-25 17:38:00	What voltage should I have at "cpu core" I am showing 1.42 v. Seems to be a funny sort of a figure. CPU Athlon 64 4000+	JJJJJ (528)
509589	2006-12-25 17:52:00	Same basic setup here..and my Vcore is 1.74 Yours does seem to be a little low....are you running your SmartGuardian (www.iteusa.com)? Here's a site with some info too: forums.amd.com	SurferJoe46 (51)
509590	2006-12-25 18:00:00	If you don't have or want SmartGuardian, then here's another ut to try: cpu.rightmark.org it's free too. I read that having the Vcore value at as low a voltage as your system will comfortably run, keeps the heat down a little. Higher voltages are a sign of tweaking (usually) and of overclocking.

509591	2006-12-25 22:32:00	That is fine for that chip, my AMAZING_DUAL_CORE runs at 1.35v stock, but I have it cracked up to 1.50v cause I have it overclocked :D And SJ, I am really concerned about that voltage in the CPU, that is very high (I don't like mine above 1.7v)... what is the setting in the BIOS? it should be something like "auto" or something to that effect, but no actual value... And yes, the more voltage the CPU (or anything else is getting) the more heat it will produce, running the CPU at it's stock voltage is fine for a stock spec, and a mild overclock too, but if you get more into the large overclocks then you will need to raise the voltage...

509592	2006-12-25 22:36:00	Mine is only at 1.27.....	qazwsxokmijn (102)
509593	2006-12-25 22:37:00	That is fine for that chip, my AMAZING_DUAL_CORE runs at 1.35v stock, but I have it cracked up to 1.50v cause I have it overclocked :D... Yes I can understand the amazing dual core needing xtra power to get anything done.:rolleyes:	JJJJJ (528)
509594	2006-12-25 23:00:00	That is fine for that chip, my AMAZING_DUAL_CORE runs at 1.35v stock, but I have it cracked up to 1.50v cause I have it overclocked :D And SJ, I am really concerned about that voltage in the CPU, that is very high (I don't like mine above 1.7v)... what is the setting in the BIOS? it should be something like "auto" or something to that effect, but no actual value...

Here's the adjustable stuff and where they are right now: Vcore = 1.8 setting, running 1.74 DDR = 2.5 setting, running 2.49 AGP = 1.5 setting, running 1.48 +3.3 running at 3.32 +5 running at 4.86 +12 running at 12.16	SurferJoe46 (51)
509595	2006-12-26 02:00:00	Yes I can understand the amazing dual core needing xtra power to get anything done.:rolleyes: Well lets see, stock mine is running less voltage... :rolleyes: but overclocked 500MHz it needs only an extra 0.15v now that is not much... (an extra 300MHz over your 4000+ :p) Here's the adjustable stuff and where they are right now: Vcore = 1.8 setting, running 1.74 DDR = 2.5 setting, running 2.49 AGP = 1.5 setting, running 1.48 +3.3 running at 3.32 +5 running at 4.86 +12 running at 12.16 All those settings are fine except for the Vcore, what options does it give you? You do get fluctuations in the voltages and the hardware is designed to deal with that so they are all fine.	The_End_Of_Reality (334)
509596	2006-12-26 04:01:00	It looks like the SafeGuardian has settable voltages in it's gui . . . so I could probably make the changes there . Maybe I won't have to bother the BIOS . . and since this is the SOYO SmartGuardian for the SOYO mobo, it should make the changes to the BIOS anyway . . . right? It has some +/- arrows for all the voltages, and I see that they are all at the "10" value at the moment . . . that might be a baseline value . . not sure . Would I then assume that this is the default values for the voltages? I mean, if the values are "10" then that's kinda looking like a starting place for tweakers . . . right? I haven't changed anything since I got this running 4 years ago and I have no instability problems yet . Here's the first pix of SmartGuardian ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/SS001 . bmp" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) . . . and the second is here . ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/SS002 . bmp" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) . . . . . . and remember that I am running 8/200g's and another 40g and a 10g, a Zipdrive, usb dynamic hubs (2), 3 printers and 2 Palms with full file-sharing with the Dell and another Compaq that I just picked up . . . . a lot of electrons running here . . . . . . Oh, yes . . . an Enermax 535 something PSU . . . . . . .	SurferJoe46 (51)
509597	2006-12-26 04:09:00	Well personally I would use the BIOS, I don't trust any programs that play/tweak the BIOS from within an OS, can get a corrupt BIOS that way... But you can do which ever way you want. If you select a lower number... actually what is your CPU? cause IIRC older CPUs needed more juice to get em running... if this is the case then the voltage will be fine... EDIT: Download CPU-Z and run that and see what it tells you cause the Athlon XPs used to run at that voltage...	The_End_Of_Reality (334)
