Vcore is set 1.525, bios reports 1.53v...DMM reports idle voltage of 1.20-1.28v..quick load show 1.20v

I am measuring by small squares near the solid caps above the socket and below the small blue HS..I ground to a the metal ring where a mobo screws in...and I measure by touching the small "wire" coming off the small squares(if this makes any sense)
instead of using a metal ring as your ground, use your molex connector from your psu as your ground. stick the black probe into one of the middle 2 plugs/ports/sockets (it should have a black wire connecting to it) of the molex connector.

sometimes when you use an improper ground, it'll throw off your readings.
