Guys
I have a new 990fxa board, the first was rma'd due to problems so I'm taking a lot of care with the new one and looking at all the things I can to ensure this is not from a bad batch. My machine is fairly green and has a 1100t, has Win7 pro so nothing special.
My issues are with the readings from AOD (AMD Overdrive) and almost every other CPUZ type thing I could find, and it's with my -12V and in AOD the VDD25 reading.
My -12V as reported shows varying values ranging from -5 to -20, the supply an oldish thermaltake truepower 1kW supply has a -12V rail of -12.4v with an odd 1 cycle pulse every 20ms or so lasting around 200-300us of 184 mv (yes had the cro on it),
The other issue is the VDD25 reported in AOD always has -5.120 instead of 2.5V.
AOD also reports 12 dec C higher temp than every other tool including "sensors" under linux and while I think that is more representative of the temp in idle, with prime 95 I have had to install a "Coolermaster V8" just to keep the thing under 60C from AOD's perspective.
I suppose the questions are is AOD a useful measuring tool, and does anyone else see this kind of behavior?
Do the various cpuz/HWMonitor type tools interfere with each other?
