    I did not take your post in a negative way. I was merely telling a story of an unreasonable person affected by this limitation of software.

    I am curious. How often do you feel you need to check your 12v rail? Are you having stability issues?

    No, I am not. But checking the voltage is in toleranace has been one of the standard steps I have followed when overclocking. It is curious however that I did not notice the issue beforehand, it seems that the first time I did my overclock to 3.8 the figure reported was actually resonable. An inability to check the voltage is just... disconcerting.

    I noticed it this time around because I just added a fan-controler and reduced the speed (thus noise) of my fans, and was hitting 75 degrees at load at 3.8 with Vcore 1.25, which I was not happy with. I thus dropped it down to 3.6 with Vcore 1.20. Load temps are now around 71. Considering the TPI of the i7 is 100 degrees, this is very resonable. And if I have any further problems I merely turn up the fans.

    I have had stablity issues, but they have been thermally or Vcore voltage related when attempting different BIOS settings. Corsair, as always, have provided an excellent product they should be proud of.

    Unless you develop a voltage regulation problem on the board or if you have severe instabilities, you shouldn't need to check the voltage that frequently. I understand the desire to check the voltage but, even if the board here had a fully functioning software based votlage monitoring utility, it may not be accurate. So, it would not be a reliable tool anyway.

    I shall note this for any future builds I do and ammend my procedure to account for this. Thank you for your help Yellowbeard.
