Whilst in CPU-Z, my vcore seems to change a lot, between 1.266v - 1.285v. If this is being reported accurately, it would explain alot of overclocking issues I've been having. [needless to say its quite dangerous for my cpu]
I was just wondering, can this be attributed to my PSU, or is it the fault of my motherboard?
Thanks, Dan.
1.266~1.285 is absolutely normal.
My Pentium D fluctuate between 1.31V (!) and 1.40V depends on processor load.
It should not affect overclocking at all. If your processor is starving of voltage when it is 1.266v then give it +0.0125V or so.

These are idle fluctuations though...
I just thought it was a bit much for an idle reading? Maybe not.
It could well be switching between a power saving type mode and normal load. I know my E6600 drops to about 1.2V when not being used and is at (I think) 1.325V when it's being used. In short, I wouldn't say it was anything to be worrying about.
