Default RAM Voltage in BIOS

I have the RAM voltage in the BIOS set to 2.1V but when I look in HWMonitor it reads DRAM 1.27V. When I raise the voltage in the BIOS to 2.2V it shows up as 1.28V in HWMonitor.

Which is the true voltage of my RAM?

I would trust your BIOS a lot more then some program. That HWmonitor maybe inaccurate.

Is there another program that reads voltages that I should try?

My friend don't believe that program. Please believe what your BIOS says. and if it's 2.1v set in your BIOS and your system is booting and fine, then thats what it is.

Check it with a real program like Everest CPUID ,,, or something.

heres a look at it

Don't even stress what hwmonitor a cheap program tells you cuz it's just doesn't like your config or mobo flak dat. Trust your BIOS and also Everest is free @ www.download.com or another legit app that says your RAM voltage,,, gl
