Voltages!!!


Recommended Posts

I wouldn't trust those readings as far as I could throw them. The best way to get actual readings is with a multimeter.

 

Example. The BIOS on my Infinity told me that my 12v rail was at 11.71V. If I mesure with a meter, I get 11.93v.

Your software reported voltages look fine. However, Lunchbox makes an excellent suggestion about confirming your voltages with a multi-meter.

 

I'd suggest a decent quality digital multi-meter. That way you can determine a good standard deviation between the software reported voltages and the actuals. You should use the digital mm to check your voltage rails at idle and load. There are several threads here on how to check you voltage rails.

Typical Smartguardian readings for the Ultra-D. If it bothers you, try all the good suggestions above. Also, you can try another monitoring program like Motherboard Monitor which may give you slightly more accurate readings for some items. But all monitor software is subject to error. (You can try to calibrate the software to match your DMM readings, though I've never bothered).

For Motherboard Monitor and the DFI specific config file, see thread by soundx98 here:
