Anyone know where to measure vcore on a DS3?

[Synaptic]

With a voltmeter/multimeter? I've been digging all over the net on multiple forums trying to find out if anyone's figured it out yet, and no luck. I swear I thought I saw a thread here that talked about it, but I can't find it for the life of me.

My vcore is set to 1.425 in the BIOS and it seems to keep showing me 1.31-1.38 using Everest, Easytune, and CPU-Z. I'd like to find out what the voltage really is.

Are these monitoring programs just totally off? Are there any temperature monitoring programs that are remotely correct? Again using multiple programs I get readings all over the place, from 40C to 57C on the same core under load.

Thanks!

Usually, it's done by checking the toroidal chokes/FETs near the cpu socket.

Thanks for the response. Anyone happen to know which one? I don't want to go poking around my board and set it on fire. =/

I ran it down to 350FSB and it seems to be running around 56C under load. The vcore keeps hopping between 1.26 and 1.34. Should it be moving around like that, or should it be at least staying consistent, even if the readings are off?

ya know.....

go check the Xtreme Mod's its got all the info you need
