I know the IC7-MAX3 undervolts the VCORE and VDIMM, and my readings show that.
But, does the motherboard also undervolt the 12v line?
I have a 520watt Vantec Stealth, and under load my 12v reading drops to 11.67.
Reported by both the ABIT program and MBM 5.
At idle it sits around 11.87 - 11.92.
Now mind you I'm not pulling too much through it.
I have one 7200rpm hard, one cdrw, floppy... and a 92mm tornado running through a Areogate II, as well as two 120mm TT and two 92mm TT fans running through a Nexus fan controller.
I dont see why my 12v lines would dip so much.
Also, I must mention my P4 is set at 1.65 volts.
At idle it reads 1.648v and at load it reads 1.6v even.
Is that normal?
Thanks for any help!
