Striker Extreme Vcore Value 3.01

[jethrouk]

Hi I have a striker extreme mb, it has the latest bios version and the newest drivers. my rig has been fine for ages, no problems. But the other day I turned it on and got a monitor message saying there was an issue, to press f1 to proceed or del to enter settings.

i found that the vcore value is red reading 3.01. \It seems to constantly stay around that,
it just seems to be that one reading that is unusally high. everything else reads:

memory voltage 1.87V
1.2v HT voltage 1.23v
NB voltage 1.23v
IB Volatage 1.52V
CPU VTT voltage 1.21 - 1.28 v (keeps changing)
DDR2 Termination voltage 0.92 v
3.3v voltage 2.97v
5v voltage 4.99v
12v voltage 11.71v

CPU temp 42degrees c
m/b temp 25degrees c

does that seem ok?
My powersupply is a thermaltake toughpower 700watt. it is almost a brand new power supply, and was recently upgraded. the motherboard is also pretty new. could the motherboard have been wired up incorrectly (it wasn't myself that did it). the fault seemed to occur when i reset all the bios settings back to default the other day. i hadn't noticed the error message untill i did that.



does anyone know if there is any issues with this? could it be reporting normally that the vcore is actually 3.01 or could there be an error. or could it be a faulty sensor and therefore, will my computer run ok like this, i am scared to use it again/?

Since 1.81250 in the Bios gave me 1.78 in windows and some 70-80c idle temps, I would guess you either have the best cooling possible for a desktop computer, or that voltage reading is off, big time.

What does the voltage list when evaluating the core voltage with CPUz while in windows? That would tell you if the glitch is a Bios read error, or a sensor error.

Either way, I think it would explode at 3 volts, hehehe!

But better google it to be sure, or get on tech support!

It's always best to check into those things.

You know, look to see what it says!

hi, ran cpu-z and it says the vore voltage is 2.976V.

Any suggestions, as to whether this is correct and if i should use my pc.?????

LOL, nice!

If it all started when you updated the Bios, try down grading it to one older, and see if the problem is still there.

Judging by the temps, you can't possibly be near that voltage! Even though your idle is a bit on the hot side.

Just like you, I don't like seeing berserk readings like that, so its better safe than sorry.

I would also try and hunt down a few people with the board, who have updated it, and see what happened on their mother board.
