But no ... it reads only 1.61V for some reason . With 1.60V + 110% should be 1.716V but it reads only 1.66V
Very strange but oh well , may be i should check with DMM next time . But yeah Vdrop was prety bad when pushing quad to high clocks , i did play with my dualcore 6850 and vdrop was much better , almost no Vdrop what so ever even @ 4.7GHz

Heres a screenshot showing only 1.61V Idle (and only 1.56-1.56V loaded ) with 1.60 + 106% set in BIOS with a Quad @ 5GHz
I would not be surprised at a .05v droop @ 5GHZ with a Quad what board do you know of that droops less out of the box @ that speed ?

You do know the Vcore Droop Control is mislabeled in the BIOS I take it enabled is disabled & vice versa ?

Use CPU-Z 1.41 it will give you a very near accurate vcore reading 1.40.5 is useless as imo is Smartguardian. If you want accurate use a DMM.
