Hi, I see you're working on optimizing your overclock. You mentioned watching videos about measuring the Vcore with an external multimeter. Your mainboard has two pads labeled + and - on the CPU socket, which should be the right spots to test. You're using a MSI X370 SLI PLUS and an R7 3800X, so those details are helpful. Let me know if you need more guidance!

You can check the v-core by testing one of the chokes.

It depends on your needs; measuring provides direct insight while software offers convenience.

Unless you've performed a vcore change and intend heavy cooling, the program is reliable. Hwinfo64 delivers precise results.
