A8N32-SLI Deluxe

Hi,

I can´t find a tool that reads the VDIMM Voltage of this board.
Can anyone help me ?

[gedon]

ASUS PC Probe maybe

[JohnnyFu]

nope i tried PC Probe II, Speedfan, Everest and SiSoft Sandra..

[gedon]

is it shown in bios?

[JohnnyFu]

nope.... i think that means i cant read the vdimm nevermind...

another thing is the vcore...
my vcore value ajusted in the bios does not really reach the cpu.

i found a review, the guys had this problem too.
http://www.hardtecs4u.com/reviews/20...sli/index9.php look at the table.

"manuelle Wahl" means vcore values adjusted in the bios.
"real Anliegende Spannung" means real voltage


vcore higher than 1.4v is not possible without using "CPU Over-Voltage + 200mV", wich means > 1.55-1.65v. I just want stable 1.45v-1.5v

is this caused due to a bad mainboard component ? or is it possible to fix with a BIOS Update ?

next thing is... the vcore value in CPU-Z fluctuates heavy.
(vcore 1.4v set in the BIOS)

fluctuates
1,404
1,424
1,440
1,456
another value nearly every second

thats not so good i think ? what causes this ?

Edit: btw my hardware is:

A8N32-SLI Deluxe
3500+ Venice DAA4BW CAB2E 0608 APAW
Gigabyte 7600GT Silent Pipe II
Tagan 420W U01
2x WD 800JB
1x WD Raptor 36GB
Audigy
AVM ADSL PCI

Vcore fluctuations and abnormal readings are standard fare for pretty much every board out there.

That's why i buy DFI...although the reported values are not real values, at least i know they are stable. Digimeter-verified.

A8n vdroop = 0.00 to 0.085v...the higher the vcpu, the higher the droop.

at this point you can use Christal CPUID.
go to Function -> AMD K6/K7/K8 Multiplier -> New Voltage
and choose 1.400V
this way vcore should fluctuate between 1.45 and 1.5V

wow nice tool, but doenst work.

I can set everything between 1.4v and 1.55v, the result voltage is still 1.4v. This is a known bug, a BIOS Bug ? or bad hardware ?

[gedon]

maybe the other way? use the overvoltage option in bios and lower it with christal

but I think you will get the same result.
how do you cool the cpu? maybe you can increase airflow around the cpu to cool the mosfets by adding a fan ontop of them. casetemps ok?
