Re: Gigabyte X38/P35/P965 (DS* DQ* S3) Overclocking and General BIOS tweaking Guide
CPU-z shows actual vcore, and will change with change to idle/load. If you look at it once you get in windows you will the the drop from what you set in the bios to idel voltage. Which is Vdrop. When you load the cpu you will see Vdroop which is idle to load drop
Everest may or may not show VTT, I know it does not if you can not set it on your board, so if someone with a DQ6 could answer if they can set it or not and in fact see it in everest then yes. But I do not have a setting for it so I cannot say, same goes fro NB voltages, I knwo those show because I have seen others who can set them post everest images, which makes me believe the same would go for Vtt
The CPU voltage option in MIT lets you set the CPU Vcore as expected, if you have a board with loadline calibration this will stay VERY close if not exact to what you set, when in windows at idle or load. If you do not have this option in your BIOS then there will be some differences due to Intel reference designs....There will be a drop from this initial setting to a Idle voltage a bit lower (Vdrop) and there will be a drop from Idle to load (Vdroop) per Intels design. Some boards are worse then others, some are great at having none of either. And then some have BIOS settings to overcome vdroop
It sets the max voltage yes, your board and bios limitations are where this may differ in what you get in windows and from idle to load
Yes you are seeing that correct in the Intel design sheets, VID does have a range, but that range is specific to a Family. Such as the core duo family, all core 2 duo's have a VID within 0.85V – 1.5V. Each specific chip has been tested and will have a set voltage Intel has decided that the chip will run stably at between this amount. Plus a little
