Sabretooth 990fx r2.0 fluctuating vcore voltage question

Hello!

First off i'm not very good at this stuff, sorry.
My question is if there's something crazy going on with my vcore voltage and if i should be worried.

Mobo is in the title
CPU: AMD FX-8350
Ram: Kingston DDR3 hyperxbeast 1600mhz 2x4gb
GPU: MSI Geforce gtx 760 (2gb)
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 720W

It's between 0.900-1.404 when idle and in bios it's stable at 1.380-1.392

No OC or anything, it's all default i think (haven't changed anything besides boot order).


Cheers!

Hi Saikadelic and welcome to R.O.G.
The fluctuating vcore is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. It fluctuates between the voltage's you mentioned depending on load/clock speed. It's just a power saving feature really.

Alright, Thanks for the help!

Ai suite II gave me some error message, actually it gave me lots of them but all of em were false readings i presume. So at first i thought it was just a false reading but when i uninstalled and sweeped it away it still gave me fluctuating readings with HWMonitor and none of the other voltage readings were fluctuating . That's why i thought perhaps there was something wrong but now i know! Cheers.

You're welcome mate.
Yeah AI suite is known for being a pain in the a*** and not playing nice. Incase you don't already know you should not run 2 monitoring software's that will be polling the same sensor's. Ie: If you have AI suite installed then have nothing else installed that will monitor your cpu and voltages.

Yip the processor has what is called power saving states, and that basically means it only draws on voltage when the cpu is used.

So it seems your system is good to go.
