CJ4 Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 which one should i trust? Hmmm- buy a Fluke and see which one comes closest! jk- I would trust the radio shack one. You have no idea the specification that the ebay one was built to. also the vdimm was set to 3.4 but on bios it was 3.31 not 3.4 any idea? Not sure that I understand what you are saying. If you are saying that you set the vdimm to 3.4, but the bios was showing 3.31, that's fairly normal. Neither the vdimm you set it at or what the bios reads are all that accurate. Again, a decent DMM is the only way to know what it is really at. -is it ok to have 5v = 5.05 idle & 12v= 12.10 idle when o/c or should i set it to 5.0 and 12.0 idle It's OK either way- the specs should be within about 10%.
