View Full Version : Unstable voltage in CPUZ?

is it normal for the voltage in CPUZ to jump around 1/10th of a volt. To be more specific, my CPU voltage is set at 1.4v x 113% and in cpuz it shows up as 1.520 and sometimes jump up to 1.53. I have an OCZ powerstream 520 also, if I remember correctly I have always noticed this with CPUZ though.

yeah, all currents will usually jump around due to the flucuations (SP?) in the AC Current, the better the power supply the less the flucuations (SP?) also this is due to the power phase system on the motherboard.

The internal power regulators for the board can also play a factor in voltage fluctuations depending on many factors (age, heat, component quality... etc.). I haven't personally ever used a board that did not have at least a small change in voltage while in use. Your voltage difference is rather small so i don't see it being a issue.

With the dfi ive seen that different voltage selections give different fluctuations, when i want 1.52 i use the straight 1.55 volts and cpu-z shows 1.52 with no fluctuations, if i use percentages it does however.

i got a dual core 820d when my cpu is idle my voltage is around 1.5volt but when i put it to the test (100%) my voltage drop to 1.41v but i dont know why...
