Is everyone's actuall 8rda+ Vdimm as low as mine?
At setting of vdimm 2.9v in bios, I only get 2.84v in pchealth or epox monitor. Are all the 8rda+ boards reading this much lower than the bios setting? If so, is it possible for a bios updae to compensate for the drop?

You mean 2.9 ....... that is inaccurate. I have measured on the board when mine said 2.84-6 in bios/mbm/usdm ....... solid 2.905-2.91 ON THE BOARD........

This should be a sticky, as it gets asked at every Epox forum I go to ( I'm not blaming you - I see the same thing).

FWIW

Good luck with your board xg

all the voltages are off by this margin with my 8RDA+, hooking up multimeter to board and molex connectors shows me the true values.

You measured with a multimeter? Then shouldn't they be able to correct this mis-reporting with a bios update?

The sensor is only so accurate........ not to mention trace lengths/components it has to go through and such.

I wouldn't worry about it myself.........but that's just me.

I don't think a bios update is going to do anything... unless they can purposely make it "LOOK" like it is getting more.... which I'm not sure is possible.
