Voltage Questions...

[HopeUTKN]

Hi everybody!

My Core 2 Duo E8200 is currently at 3.8GHz but with a CPU voltage of 1.38V in the bios. However, apparently it's risky to exceed 1.3625V.. but when I open a voltage monitoring problem, it says 1.36V idle, and 1.334V on load..

I've also read somewhere in the forum this:

(G) Vcore Load should not exceed 1.3625 volts on 45nm processors.

Does that mean that the Vcore on "LOAD" should not exceed 1.3625? So I can raise the vcore a little more? And also, why does the vcore drops when it's on load?

Thank you.

I wouldn't worry about it. The processors can withstand a peak voltage of 1.45V.

Thank you very much for your reply. I don't know if you realize how much you helped me 😉
