Hellu, i'd like to know what vcore i should use for like signs and that stuff, like should i use the one in HW monitor the one in the bios? Thanks in advanced c:

CPU-Z. Find it better than HWMontior.

Didn't really answer the question but whatever. I take it like i should use the "core voltage" for signs. Thanks

Of course it didn't. Your post makes zero sense to me. What are "signs and stuff"

Well, being in this site was a waste of time, just like teksydicate's forum, i'll just go back to SweClockers instead where people know abbreviations of words.

Perhaps instead of being immediately negative, you could clarify what you meant?

I have no idea what you're talking about either.  "Signs" is usually a word used on its own, and abbreviations should be followed by a "." (ex. "J. Am. Chem. Soc." for "The Journal of the American Chemical Society").  Don't post a poorly structured question and get angry that no one understood you.

What do you mean? Core voltage (vcore) is the amount of power CPU will use to work. It will depend on CPU what is considered safe voltage for OC. Or normal voltage in everyday use. For voltage monitoring CPU-Z is usally the best. I say usually since its has some bugs. You will set vcore in BIOS. Some auto-OC software (XTU among them) allow you to change it in windows. In best scenario CPU-Z (or HWmonitor) will show same reading as what you have set in BIOS. If this is not case, your board is suffering from vDrooping.

 

E: This may seem as I treat you as noob. But since you don't use generally accepted terms, its hard to know if you are experienced or new to this stuff.

it's okay to treat me as a noob, but i know some stuff, in swedish though. I meant i've set 1.140v in the bios (it's a 4670k fyi) but cpu-z shows 1.139v (which is correct i just noticed) and HWmonitor shows 0.952v. All i wanted to know in the first place was which one to use (bios, HW or cpu-z) for signatures.

so "signs" is "signatures"?

Software voltage monitoring is usually inaccurate, but is most accurate at load.  If you really want to know the voltage accurately, you will need a digital multimeter.  Either one of HWmonitor or cpu-z should show a reasonably accurate voltage at load, don't bother reading it at any voltage other than load, it will certainly be way off.  

While in the bios, that is probably the most accurate of the voltages at non-load.  Usually non-load voltage is irrelevant though.

At the same time for those readings? It's probably because HWmonitor is reading some other voltage. The actual reason why CPU-Z is lower than what you have set, is because of vdroop I mentioned. You can make it less effective by adjusting LLC. If that doesn't help, your mobo has just weak voltage control.

 

E: I would use what ever is set in BIOS for sig(-nature). The volts in monitoring tools change according to load.

my mobo is an asrock extreme6 z87, my motherboard probably just have poor voltage control. It's asrock after all.

You can use CPU-Z to find vcore.

 

Soryy for bit derail, but do you read thread before posting?
