Just installed a new PSU (AX750). According to the latest version of CPU-Z, the core voltage of my Q9550 varies from 1.072v to 1.216v at idle or with Chrome running. The BIOS is set to Turbo on my Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P.
Is this normal? Is this an enrgy saving feature of the CPU or the BIOS? Is CPU-Z the best way to check Vcore? When I Google this I get all kinds of info regarding overclocking!
Thanks for any feedback.
