Diagnosis? Fluctuating vCore

Post by ces » Wed Jan 12, 2011 7:14 am

My vcore voltage is fluctuating between .096v and 1.2 volts (as measured by speedfan and also by CPUID)

12V, 5v, and 3.3v are rock steady. I am using a Nexus Value PSU.

I am running an Asus P7H55-M Pro motherboard with an i5-650 Clarkdale.

Everything seems to be working fine. I don't overclock and just noticed the fluctuating vcore by accident. But this concerns me. It doesn't seem right.

Does anybody have any idea of what is happening and why?

Should I have any reason to be concerned? Everything is working fine.

if it was stuck at one volt I'd be nervous..add a few years to that one. light bulbs become hdd lights and a mouse click rings the neighbors fire alarm...
:roll:

the newer the cpu the more that changes..the last rock stable cpu volt I saw was in the 233mhz days..and it cracked its own bios eventually.
