Hi Guys,
I have been playing around with measuring Vcore on some old motherboards.
Quite simply I have been turning the mobo on and putting negative on a mounting screw ground and positive on one of the caps along the side of the cpu.
Is this correct?
Now its all very well being able to measure Vcore but I need to know what it should be? I assume for a given socket Vcore is a set value, or does Vcore change depending on the CPU?
Ie Dual Core and Quad core can both fit a 775 socket, but can they have different Vcores? (ignoring overclockers here for a mo)
I have had a look at a few intel data sheets which seem to specify Vcore, and sometimes a voltage range for Vcore.
When a mobo has bad caps, can it be shown on a DMM with a Vcore that is way outside values?
Is Vcore and Vcc for a CPU the same thing?
Cheers
