also, i've been setting 1.4 x 1.048(1.4672) which reads as 1.42 in win...

However, just (du'h!) noticed that all my rails are reading low in SG. 12v = 11.71 (always, load, idle stock volts, over, doesnt make any difference)
3.3v = 3.07-3.08 load (lower under higher load) 3.09 idle
5v = 4.86-89 (down to .83 under load)

could this be causing most of my cpuv misreporting probs? when im "giving it" 1.51v and its reading 1.47 im prob giving closer to 1.47-1.48?

just speculating
