Bug in ET6?

[ehume]

I discovered that ET6 does not properly represent Core Voltage when the Core Voltage is set with Normal + Offset in BIOS.

Example:

Attachment 2878

BIOS setting: Normal + offset 0.14375v. ET6 > Tuner > Advance > Voltage reads 1.51250v. When I have used lower offsets, I still get a Target of 1.51250v. This is clearly an error.

Note that in the HW tab of ET6 Vcore reads 1.264v, just like CPU-Z.

When Vcore is set to a fixed amount in BIOS, the ET6 > Tuner > Advance > Voltage approximately agrees with direct measures of Vcore (the measured Vcore fluctuates from a little below to a little above the Vcore set in BIOS).

What is your "Normal" and do you have EIST and C1E enabled?

It probably is a bug though, since the board/BIOS is guessing an amount because Auto/Normal Vcore isn't always a constant.

Send in a report, they may have an explanation for you on why it's like that

Thank you for your suggestion. I filed a bug report.

EIST and C1E are disabled.

Does it also happen with Speedstep enabled too? Just wondering, they should be able to tell you why or if it's a bug.
