Core Center showing voltage spikes on the +3.3

I wanna thank you guys for helping me with my various issues this past week. Making sure my new PC is running smoothly is of utmost importance to me, so please excuse me if I seem to be posting a lot lately  
I have Core Center running in the background all the time and when it pops up to inform me of an issue, it's usually highlighted the 3.3V value when, I'm assuming, it's too high (or higher than whatever value it has set as the warning limit). It's shown it as 3.78v up to 3.89v sometimes. Is this bad? I haven't adjusted any voltage settings in BIOS or in Core Center because I have no idea how changes to that effect performance. Please let me know if i should be concerned or if I should adjust my voltage settings in some certain way. System specs in the sig.
Thanks,
Eloora

ok, weird.... 
Bios shows readings for these
Vcore
+5v
+12v
-5v
-12v
Battery
+5v SB
BUT... no reading on the 3.3v... The thing I noticed was the reading for the Battery is 3.331v
Is that what I was looking for?

  • 975XPUE Dual Core Center 5V voltage readout

    Hello, I realize everyone unanimously agrees that Dual Core Center should be avoided.  However I have a question about the voltage readouts it provides.
    On my machine, DCC 5V readout has always reported 2.6x V, quite a drop from 5V.  3.3V reads out 3.31 V and 12V reads 12.20 V.  System is running stable despite the weird 5V level.  Everything runs just fine.  Don't know if this is a false reading, or a true but acceptable reading, or just DCC bug.
    Can someone please clarify what the MB 5V reading is referring to.  I always assumed this was from the 5V pin on the JPWR molex connector for PCI-E slots.  My video card is Sapphire X1950PRO 512 with power from 6pin PCI-E power.  I just assumed the molex power wasn't necessary but I have it connected anyway, and so this caused the 5V reading to be low.   
    Also, I have all 8 pins for the JPW ATX 12V connector attached.  PSU has 4+4 connector but I figured just plug everything in if it's available.
    MSI 975X PUE (Limited Edition)
    E6600 @ 3.07GHz default voltage  (343 FSB)
    OCZ Platinum Rev 2 2GB @2V 5-5-5-15
    Sapphire X1950PRO 512MB
    Thermaltake 750W (Modular) w/ 4 12V rails @18A
    Thanks!

    Thanks all for replies.  Svenomous, I'd like to try your tip but dont have a multimeter 
    I'm not worried that the 5V rail on my PSU is bad.  Like Maesus mentioned, that should cause all sorts of issues if my 5V was really pushing 2.6V.
    Was just curious what part of the MB dualcore center takes the 5V readout from.  If it's from the 5V pins on the 24 pin ATX, then the computer shouldn't even boot.  I guessed it was from the PCI-E molex connector and that the MB wasn't drawing the full 5V for whatever reason.  All other devices (fans, drives, etc)  on molex power seem to run fine.
    Was just hoping someone had a definite answer.  If I snag a volt tester, I'll follow up with true 5V rail levels.  Thanks

  • Overclocking with Core Center

    I am a total noob to this overclocking stuff, but trying to learn more.
    I have been using Core Control to oc my mobo. Currently I have an AMD 64 2800 that is running at FSB 245 and a cpu 2205 mhz.
    I have not adjusted any voltages, do I need to? What is everyones opionion of Core Center? I have verified the cpu speed with MBM and CPU-Z and they confirm what Core Center says.
    Any thoughs on this am I pushing the FSB up too high?
    System specs:
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    1 gig (2 512's) Crucial PC3200 ram
    AMD Athlon 64 2800 Newcastle
    Nvidia 6800 OC By BFG tech
    480 W Antec PS

    Well, for a nood that's a nice OC. In order to determine if you need more voltage you need to check for stability. Get a free download of Prime95 and run the torture test on the second setting where it says lots of heat. Speaking of heat, that's more inportant than voltage. You want to check out what temps your are generating under fyll load(ie the Prime torture test. If your using stock cooling you can only go so high before heat is a problem. Adding voltage adds more heat as well. How hot is too hot? That's a question that everyone has their own answer for. I really don't like my system running much over 50c, so low 50's is where I back off. I'm sure it can go well into the fifties without gettig cooked, but I'm pretty cautious. Good luck.javascript:checklength(document.bbform);

  • Newbie question on Core Center

    When i bring my FSB up in Core Center manually
    (not using the auto button) the vcore doesn't change and
    my system runs unstable is there a way i can bring it up
    or is core center supposed to bring the vcore voltage up automatically?

    When you use corecenter to overclock, The auto overclock feature will turn up your FSB, but it wont touch the VCORE. you have to adjust that in the bios.Or you can do it yourself on corecenter. When I tried to overclock using core center, it would overclock on the desktop but it would not be overclocked in the bios. I would reccomend that you use A program called clockgen in conjunction with speed fan. clock gen will allow you to overclock from your desktop and even set the PCI/AGP settings independantly of the FSB. Speed fan wil allow you to adjust you fans to get maximum airflow and it will allow you to keep an eye on temps as well. get rid of corecenter

  • Core Center Update

    I just updated my Core Center from version 1.6.1.0 to version 1.6.2.0 and now the FSB on the Cool & Quiet/Core Center shows 200 mhz where b/4 it was showing 400 mhz. Thats the only thing I did. I double checked the Bios to make sure it was still set to ddr400 which it was. So now what?

    I beleive you are getting things mixed up. Core Center should have never shown 400mhz for the FSB. What Core Center displays is the Front Side Bus speed along with the multiplier (x10), not memory speed. So if it was showing 400mhz before (which was wrong), then its fixed now. If your FSB speed WAS running at 400mhz, then you'd be roasting marshmallows over your comp.  
    Your memory settings do not affect the FSB speed. Even though your memory is rated at ddr400, it still runs at 200 mhz (cpu-z does this), thats because it has to double it in order to run at 400. Thats the whole concept behind DDR. Same thing with ddr266, ddr333, etc..

  • Core center overclock bug

    There is a bug with the new core center. I usually use the auto overclock to see how high it goes and that gives me an idea of where to start hard setting it in the bios. I can set the fsb to 210MHz and click apply and it does nothing. All utilities show that I am still running at 200MHZ FSB

    Core Center is not the Greatest thing from MSI, Alot of users choose not to use Core Center because of thier BAD experience. My self i would not recommend C,C
    to overclock or for temps readings, Overclocking is best done in the Bios- If you are do afraid to change some settings in the bios then you should not Overclock your PC. AS for temp I Highly recommend SpeedFan as it reads from the Bios Difference between the both C,C & Speedfan a few degree's lower in temps.
    Personaly I think C,C is still ment for P4's and not AMD's or they need to fix a few bugs in core center before they bring it out on a new boards

  • Core Center Pro Problems w/MSI-9620v1 (K8N Master2-FAR)

    -Running XP as shown in sig,
    ---My issue is Core Center running on two User accounts, causes instabilities or maybe just false readings, resulting in Alarm/Shut Down. Shutting down and then jumping to BIOS's H/W Monitor shows it's not even close to my alarm settings, let alone critical. With the system temporarily being at the tattoo shop while sending his MoBo out for repairs, the two User accounts must be accessed on a regular basis, so fast switching/switch users is the preferred method log logging on.
    ---Originally I had issues with Core Center showing in Taskbar on all accounts other than mine/Admin, though it was a running process. Added. When I thought it wasn't loading, I started it (clickity-click on icon) and it automatically would say CPUs were overheated.
    ---Is there a fix that can allow the Core Center to run on two profiles, or am I going to have to shut it down when switching to another profile and open it when the other profile logs in? That would be a bit of a hassle for the other user. He's computer illiterate & would be happier jumping on the computer, searching craig's list or whatever, and then getting off the computer without having to click this, click that and click that before he logs on/off.

    I do not know many people that use CoreCenter.
    I stopped using it myself in the beginning, as you can simply set the fans in the BIOS.
    And the over-temp-shutdown is done by the BIOS automaticly so no reason to set in CC either.
    -Thanks Bas,
    ---I can't adjust anything but alarms in CC anyway, so I just use it for the advanced warning. Maybe it was a conflict between BIOS & CC that caused it, never checked to see if the settings were the same between the two User Profiles, but again the 2nd User profile is gone, so it won't be a problem for me any longer.
    ---So to me, your response sums it up. Wanted to do this first thing, but wanted to test them first and see if the fuss about OEM coolers was justified. Time to upgrade the CPU coolers; Well, at least the one for CPU2, nearest PCI-E1 (which is always 4°C-8°C higher than CPU1). I've notice temps have gone up 9°C on all (system, CPU1 & CPU2) since I first built the machine, but just wrote that off in thought as "the new BeQuiet! PSU is single fan where the Ultra was dual". Though they're clean to the eye (system is cleaned of all dust, what little there is due to intake filter) and they still show a steady 5900RPM, the CP1 fan shows intermittent (false I would imagine) report of 11k every great once in a while (not in BIOS though).
    ---In the good name of forum etiquette, I will search for recent cooler alternative topics and jump in. If none found, I will add to an old, unlocked thread... and if still none found, I will start anew.
    ---Thanks again,

  • Core Center 2.0.0.7 problems?

    Just updated to Core Center 2.0.0.7, but its causing problems.  For some odd reason Core Center won’t release so the system can shut down when asked
    to…  Couldn’t find 2.0.0.6, but did find 2.0.0.4 and installed it, no more problems shutting down.... hummmm.

    That's interesting,since the s3 sleep mode don't work on my system,it just locks up.
    I don't know why,since at first it did work,however,it's not that important to me.
    I do have installed back and forth the nvidia driver series for my mainboard to no avail.
    So i can't say if i can produce the same error.

  • DKA790GX Platinum, have problem with changing FSB in Dual Core Center

    Hello guys, freshblood is here,
    I change fsb in Dual core center, but unfort.  core temp and CPUZ don't reflect any changes.

    I agree.  The BIOS gives you better control with better options.

    Dumb MSI Dual Core Center.  It is not the best tool ever developed.  Use the BIOS for overclocking your system.

  • Core Center Hmmmm

    i currently have a neo plat 250  a643000 using the core center set to auto clock the damm thing took itself to 2.540 gigs.   I had to stop it ,i could no longer take the stress,  Question should i let the core find the maxium oc and if so will it stop itself before i have a meltdown . Are there any safe gaurds set in place   I was watching my temps they were 42c and holding under a no load condition . Right now really not sure what to do ,let it have its way and find out how hot this cpu is or just be a tad bit consersative let hold it at 2.40 that was the best i could achieve by manual oc

    Question to Wonkanoby:  My 3.3v has always read 3.51v in CoreCenter and that's outside of the plus or minus 5% range.  It has always played well with my borderline (at least by this forum's standards) RAM.  Should I be concerned?  As my system has been very stable for about four months, I don't think so.  I think I asked this once before, but I don't remember any definitive response.  I have an identical PSU to yours, just a little less powerful.

  • Core Center Alarm / Temperature

    When I boot my Pc from having left it off overnight, the PC boots as normal, but when the Core center loads, an alarm sounds. ?(
    When viewing the Core center it seems the alarm is sounding because my CPU fan is reading 0 rpm  ?( (It is running).
    Shut the PC down & restart, core center loads with No alarm. Check the CPU fan & it is running at over 3000 rpm
    Im confused  ?(
    Running original Bios
    Any suggestions most appreciated  
    Thanks in advance...........  

    Hi,
    I had the same problem I was getting a cpu reading of about 50C and the f***ing  :O  fan alarm was going on all the time.  The only way I foung to make it stop was discovered by accident.  I clicked on the graphic that says "core center" and then I set the fan control over to user mode and boosted up the fans to avoid the annoying alarms.  Apparently when the core center is controlling the fan it at some point giver less power to the fan and it powers down.  I was this close to going back to the store to complain about a faulty fan.  My cpu temperature did get a bit lower though but mid 40's is still too high.  By the way never turn off the core center, both times I did the temperatures rose to over 100C and after everythingg slowed down windows managed to shut down.  I was about to flash my mobo but I think I will wait out for a better bios to come out.

  • Core Center Alarm

    I have a MSI 875P Neo Motherboard with a intel 3.0Gig chip and when I start up the system I get an alarm in core center....on the left side it says
    1.49v
    Vcore
    4.08 flashing in red
    3.3v
    5.08v
    +5v
    11.52v
    +12v
    and in the Center it says 201mhz x 15.0
             3015Mhz
    anyone no why the alarm is going off?
    Thanks Halfdawg

    Obviously, I don't think that your PSU is even a true 480watts PSU where you've got such low amps on every rails that is only comparable to a 330watts PSU...
    Get something like Antec 480watts or Enermax 465watts PSU and you'll see no reds in Corecenter anymore. If you are thinking that Antecs and Enermaxs are too expensive for you, maybe you would consider a middle range pricing PSU which fits almost the category of a 430watts output minimum with +3.3 @ 24A~26A, +5v @ 30A~40A and most importantly +12v @ 18A~22A. Anything above the recommended specs would definately be better.

  • I am getting a voltage spike on starting and stopping a daqmx task

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with a PXI-4461 DSA board that I can't explain.  When starting or stopping an analog output task, I am getting a voltage spike before the generation starts and after it stops.  We have put a speaker on the output, and the spike sounds like a "pop" when that happens.  However, the pop goes away when the card is also acquiring an analog input in the card.  This is a repeatable event, and very strange.  We have used the two examples "ContAcqGraph Voltage" for the analog input and the "Retriggering_Analog_Output_Waveform_Generation" to generate this phenomena.
    Has anyone ever seen this before?  Is our card the culprit?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Hey Rob,
         I found out some information that might be helpful to you.  There was a problem identified with that particular SVT example awhile ago where spikes would happen due to a Device Reset during the generation.  This device reset was performed by default in the example if there was an error with the AO generation.  Since your code was based off of this example, I believe that there's a Device Reset happening due to some error.  If you could, please go through your application and ensure proper error chaining so that any errors generated are seen by the user.  You can also go through and probe the error clusters coming out of the VIs in order to get a quick picture of what might be happening. 
         The specific VI in question is "SVT Close Swept Sine (DAQmx).vi".  You can set a breakpoint before the "DAQmx Reset Device.vi" on the block diagram and verify that this is happening(see attachment screenshot).  Let me know what you find out.
    Good luck

  • Dual Core Center- MSI 8800 GTS and MSI P6N SLI Platinum.

    I have both the MSI 650i MOBO and the MSI 8800 GTS vidcard. When using an Asus P5B Dlx MOBO and this vidcard, Dual Core Center was installed and displayed the information for the videocard and allowed a mild OC. Now with both MSI products in the case, Dual Core Center only displays the information on the MOBO-- no 8800 GTS information. The tab at the top for the VGA does not bring up anything.  ??? I have tried installing the version on each one of the disks that came with each piece of equipment again and it doesn't seem to make a difference, it doesn't work. I downloaded the most recent version of the utility from the MSI site and still get only the MOBO information. How do I get the display for the video card?
    Or since the MSI utilities typically are listed on the forums as not being the greatest, what else can I/should I be using instead?
    {I put this in the MOBO forum too as it hits both areas...}

    Found that AtiTool (latest beta) works on the 8800's. The "find max core" and "find max memory" don't work perfectly though, as they start the overclock and then are supposed to check for errors; they are supposed to stop the adjustment upward when they encounter erros and come back down......    AtiTool just kept cranking it up, although you could visibly see the little 3D screen artifact all over the place. But It gave a good starting place to do the OC manually and then go run the scan for artifacts and errors manually.  AtiTool listed the stock core at 513 and stock memory at 792. I was able to take the core up to ~644 and the memory up to ~877. I backed these off some (as you can't run both at max!) and it looked stable at 630 core, 860 memory.  Ran through both 3DMark 05 and 3DMark06 without a hitch. Need to check it out with some extended gameplay now.
