MBM5/PC Health consistently reporting low core voltage on my NF7-S.

This isn't so much a problem as an observation. The voltage monitors are consistently saying that my core voltage is about 0.5V lower than what it is set to in SoftMenu III. I am using an Abit NF7-S. For instance, my core voltage is currently set to 1.85V in SoftMenu, but it is reading 1.79V on the monitors. The voltage increases proportionally as I increase the BIOS setting. Actual voltages being inconsistent with BIOS settings is nothing new, but I am much more accustomed to the actual voltage being slightly higher than the desired voltage. Has anybody else observed the same thing?

My voltages are all very clean, juice being supplied by an Enermax 430W PSU.

Running BIOS 19, official Abit release.

    I've got the same thing.

    It's about .025v too low. 1.725v reads out at roughly 1.7v.

    That's a general thing with NF7.

    First i actually thought you meant 0.5 volts less and i was like wtf? How can that even boot?

    Don't worry about it. Use the readings in the bios.
