Full Version: Are These Voltages Okay?
See image:
they look good. the VBAT is a little high, but that's nothing to worry about.
but, your processor is a little warm. is that under load?

yes, running folding

er..what is the vbat, exactly?

Q: How do you measure voltages?
A: With a digital multimeter. Preferably at the main ATX connector, but molex connectors/AUX connector are also fine as well. The yellow wires are the 12v line, red is 5v, orange is 3.3v, and black is ground. Software monitoring programs like MBM5 or BIOS readings can vary by accuracy and should be taken with a grain of salt.

um, yeah...i know that...very confused though, what are you trying to say? I was worried about my deviations from the voltages, not a lack of understanding of what voltages are.

What am I trying to say? Use a digital multimeter to measure voltages. Using software programs like MBM5/speedfan/etc. or even the BIOS to monitor voltages is only as good as the quality of the on-board sensors, which BTW varies greatly.

Volt supplied by your battery, V-BATT the flat thing attached to your motherboard that you take off to clear CMOS loll

right-o lilkev...didn't mean to send uppity, there. I understand that on-board sensors are not great at getting true readings, but figgered they must be pretty good if folks use programs that monitor them as a basis for measuring.
