CPU core voltage 1

[shomaker]

I just installed the Intel desktop utility and am receiving the following message:

CPU CORE (+2.05V) OUT OF RECOMMENDED RANGE

I don't know what this means or what I need to do to correct it. Is the CPU receiving too much voltage or too little or does this mean something else entirely? Also, what do I do to correct it?

My CPU is the Intel 6800 "Conroe" @ 2.93 GHz Core Duo and Intel doesn't have anything on its website dealing with this and states that they will not provide support via email.

Thanks

VID Range 0.8500 - 1.3625V

Your processor is receiving too much voltage. Look in BIOS and see if there is a voltage adjustment that can ve made. Also ensure your board is at the latest BIOS level.

Apparently, the Intel Desktop Utility that came with the motherboard did not support that motherboard, the 975, so it was giving false readings. I uninstalled it and downloaded the Intel Desktop Control Center, which Intel states does support the 975.

The Control Center shows the CPU voltage at 1.32v, well within the range listed by Intel for that processor, 0.850v to 1.3525v.

Thanks for your help.

Who'd think the utility that came with the board wouldn't totally support the board?

Good for you finding the solution, which I'm sure gave you much peace of mind after seeing the correct voltage.

Thanks for your post, i just put together and intel D975XBX MB with a core duo 2 6600 and was getting the same message with the software that came with the MB, i spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the F was wrong, your post helped a great deal

I'm in that same boat with my Asus P5W-DH Deluxe (Intel 975 motherboard) and Conroe E6600.
Honestly nothing suprise's me.
We are afterall the guinea pigs for yet another imature and insufficiently tested product, for which WE are paying a premium for the priveledge.
I guess things never change then.

I'm with you on the guinea pig bit. My old computer came down with a virus. Norton couldn't find it. When I chatted with Norton they said that they would find it for an additional fee. So, not only do I have to purchase Norton but I have to pay extra when it doesn't work.

Of course, I didn't pay them. I used other methods to rid the computer of the virus. I just want a job where they pay me more when I don't work.
