I seem to be getting conflicting data about my memory voltage. I have a ddr3-1333 8gb setup with an asus motherboard. My memory has a manufacturer suggested voltage of 1.7. I was having some stability problems at stock clock speeds, so I set the memory voltage to 1.76. The asus ai monitoring software then stated that my memory voltage was 2.3V, way too high for ddr3. When I set the memory voltage to auto in the bios, the ai asus tool stopped monitoring memory voltage.

My questions are-
1)Is there likely a bug in the asus software, or am I missing something?
2) Is there a way to confirm dram voltage in real time?

Thanks for your help.

1) Nope, not a bug, but ASUS throws that POS in with any mobo even if it's AMD with the exact same presets & defaults. I think it's designed around DDR2.

2) google cpuz

Thanks for the reply.

Could you clarify what you mean by the "Pos"? Also cpuz does not have DRAM voltages (or I am completely overlooking it.) They do have a spd profile for a given stick, but that is always locked in at the default.

I don't touch the bundled cd/dvd. Never would. They're either outdated, spyware or crap. I download the latest drivers BEFORE hardware purchases.

Ok, cpuz doesn't show the ram voltage. You can see it in bios under monitor or power etc.
