Not to sound too stupid but where does one set this from auto to manual? I go into the bios, open up the CPU voltage menu and then pick the voltage. I have been through the bios and I didn't see a way to do this. I could certainly have overlooked something, I hope I did.Originally Posted by Ymir
Voltage control may still be on auto in your BIOS. Double check that. If it is on auto, set it to manual and then you should be good to go

The actual voltage will show lower than what's set. Try bumping it up to 1.4000 and see what Everest reads. Also read the voltage when the CPU is under load to make sure it's not keeping the voltage low because it's idle.

Same thing, CPU voltage is 1.238V with CPU voltage set to 1.400v.

Load BIOS default, then set vcore to 1.40 again.
Intel QX9650 @ 3.6GHz 1.25v in bios
Asus P5E64 WS Evolution
Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600 7-7-7-20-1T 4X1Gb 1.76v
EVGA 8800GTS 512Mb
Antec P180b with Corsair 620HX
Tried it, same thing. I really think that either the board is bad or the bios is messed up and won't let me change it.....

After you change the vCORE, completely power off the system by cycling the switch on the power supply or pulling the plug.

I have probably done this 100 times before, but I did it once again. Same result, vCORE is always 1.238 no matter what I do. Has any used Everest and verified that the vCORE does change with a QX6850 and/or a QX9650? I just can't believe that this is a problem with my board, I really think it's a bios problem of some sort. Overall I am pretty disappointed with this board....
