Hi all,
I have a small issue regarding the actual voltages supplied to the memory with the Asrock Z97 Extreme4 board. First of all, does this board (or any other Asrock Z97 board) actually have real DRAM voltage sensors? I'm asking as the only utility that seems to display the correct DRAM voltage is Asrocks own A-Tuning utility, and even then I don't think it's a sensor reading... I think it just shows whatever voltage I select in the bios (not from a sensor).
Speccy shows the Memory Controller voltage as 1.696v which is too high for the 4790K (mine should be set at 1.500v). I thought it might have been a phantom/false reading, but HWMonitor also shows the same voltage as VIN1 and VIN11... No utility other than Asrocks own will show a voltage of 1.500V for the memory . I have a feeling this board is overvolting the memory and the Asrock A-Tune utility only shows the voltage number set in the bios and not the actual voltage reading itself. The Asrock utility also shows lower motherboard temps compared to other software.
