Wah guys....going OT here already....

Anyway...do you guys know whats Vdroop actually....it has been discussed before....

Voltage set in bios and whats shown in windows doesn't really count as droop....

it's the drop of voltage during load rite?

Yes....droop is voltage difference between load and idle. rclxms.gif

well the differences of vcore between bios and windows is not consider as vdroop....its more like a vcore inaccuracy to me....to get the exact vdroop its better to measure with a DMM on the mobo itself....u will see 3 different values usually..... bios, windows and DMM....DMM should be the most accurate ones.... and vdropp is measured during the fluctuation of idle and load....so u may wanna make 2 times of DMM reading...once during idle and once more during load...
thats my 2 cents correct if i m wrong  tongue.gif

yes....you are right...software apps is just not the right choice to read voltages. Therefore i always use a DMM...meassure it directly on the mobo itself...and of course, get a reliable DMM. Just ignore the voltage set in bios for now. Measure the voltage in windows at idle and load....then u will see the droop.

sorry ure right its the correct terminology..

the bios reading is not inaccurate.. its the difference of reading from the voltage from the PWM to the I/O sensors on the CPU pin
hence different reading from PWM to I/O

vdroop is the difference in load vs idle...

the problem with such bios readings is.. its going to get worst as u volt higher and it will hit a limit.

the best way to read the vcore is via CPU proc Pin...

read via the cpu proc pin?....true but unlikely....just read from the caps or chokes....
