cischico Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 psh, and I thought we were on to something... With the differences being the same in two separate programs how does one prove that this is incorrect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshotke Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 This is more than intresting! But if it is true the is only one core that takes more voltage I do not understand that there are peaple who are able to push there dual core to 3+GHz even with extreem cooling :s Or would AMD build in a system that the second core only takes X% of the voltage?

cischico Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 bump, I must know if this is a potential problem! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xguy Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 do you guys think this could be a bios bug, giving one core more then the other? we should check other motherboards and see if it's doing the same. off to google.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic-k20 Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 i have my vcore set to 1.5 + 104% in the bios - in winxp it shows up as 1.504 and in sandra core 1 has 1.50 and core 2 has 1.46 very interesting x2 3800 Manchester E4 my stepping is: cdbhe 0527 UPBW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehrd Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 I have same issue in Sandra ,, 1.57 and 1.18 . . That could be a serious problem HOWEVER .. I am at 2805 Per core and I highly doubt it could run at that speed with 1.18Vcore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vipera Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Just a guess here.. could the second Vcore be the northbridge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehrd Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 No not a reading on the N bridge. . I think DFI should release a bios that alows a reading of both cores Vcore . . . I doubt the differences can be a great as speed fan and sandra are showing . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cischico Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 This cannot be correct. However, I would like to know where it is getting that reading from... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
headshotke Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 idd the readings have to come from somewhere! Because if don't have a dual core it only shows 1 voltage. And it can't be the voltage of the chipset! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hht55555 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I checked around & ppl said that Sandra MIGHT NOT be accurate to report 2 diffrence voltage. MB has only one Vcore regulator, right?!! If that is true then , Sandra should not report 2 Vcore. Could someone at DFI confirm this (1 Vocre regulator) please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
applejacks Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Interesting. One of my cores would be able to pass prime around 2800 but of course the other one wouldnt i imagen it was the one with less voltage. arghh. I wonder if this is a design in the cpu or just a software reporting issue? could be why everyone has a flakey core. my 2nd core was only stable at 2550 but i didnt want to go above 1.5volts either.
