Idle means... idle?
Load means running wPrime 1024M.

I've tested all chokes and all caps near CPU socket. There are few chokes that "give" 0.01v more but the results are from other ones. The difference between cap and choke is small but i guess choke vs. MLCC difference should be larger (but have no time to test that).

LLC Disabled




LLC Enabled


Ok, these are MUCH better now
In the first test you did, you had LLC disabled giving only 0.010v lower than the BIOS setting (like at 1.6v, result was 1.590v with LLC disabled at load). Now on your new test, it's showing 1.538 and 1.536v much better and more logical now.

So basically, the sensors are underreporting the vcore by as much as 0.035v, and LLC enabled is actually performing EXACTLY as it should. Voltages either right on, or about 0.09v higher than the bios setting.

If that's the case, then, then if the UD5 and UD7 boards "underreport" the voltages in the same way, then holy hell...that means LLC2 is pumping as much as 0.080v more vcore than the BIOS setting, and 0.030v more than CPU-Z/ET6 is showing. And people using B2 UD5's (which had broken LLC1 and useless LLC2) were using LLC1 that was actually using LLC2's voltage scale.

Sounds like no one should be using LLC2 on any board, then.
