Ok, so according to most of the results here, I should be looking at a ~0.05v overvolt on vDIMM compared to what's set in BIOS, except that isn't actually what I get. In BIOS, vDIMM is set to 1.9v, but if taking a reading off the pin that Cranox said, I get a vDIMM of 1.9v. I decided, just to satisfy my curiosity (and 'cause I have a new DMM that I wanted to play with ), to try and see what the potential difference of some of the other pins on those chips are, and I noticed that two pins gave much more expected results, ie about 1.94v.

Can anyone who's bored and got a DMM have a poke at these two pins (marked in the attached image) and see what their voltages are relative to BIOS and what Cranox's pin says? Could just be a coincidence.

Also, does anybody know where I can measure vCore from on the P5E?
