I'm running a P4 2.66Ghz (533fbs/512cache/1.53 core v) on a P4G8X- Dlx
motherboard.
The bios core voltage is set at 1.525v but the voltage readouts
in Asus Probe, MBM5, and the Bios hardware monitor all show the core voltage
running at 1.6v which is a substantially higher than the set point. Is this
normal or does it indicate a problem with the boards voltage regulator?


Don't know, but for my CPU (P4 2,53@2,85GHz) the Vcore is set to 1,525V
too and MBM5 shows 1,5-1,6V (depending on CPU load)

Are there any other factors which could result such a large offset between the
set and actual core voltage. ( I'm assuming the voltage read by the monitor
programs is correct)


The CPU load seemes to be one of that factors. When the CPU is idle,
MBM5 shows 1,6V. When i'm running SETI@Home, MBM5 shows 1,52-1,54V.

Best regards,
Swen
