    Hi NBR.

    After installing 301.10 on my GT 525M ( modded inf ).

    I opened GPU-Z to make sure everything is fine.

    I found that voltage increased from 0.95v to 0.98v :

    As you can see NVIDIA Inspector report the default values but GPU-Z report 0.98v 3D voltage and 0.83v 2D voltage.

    So is GPU-Z displaying wrong values or what ?

    Thanks in advance :)

    EDIT : I've just checked HWMonitor , it reports the default values.

    ha thats funny, ive been trying to convince my friend that he should overvolt his 525m, and maybe i can get him to do it this way. although that is pretty odd.

    Well I noticed something weirder , when I put it under load the voltage becomes 0.95v :confused:

    EDIT : I believe it's a bug in GPU-Z , HWMonitor and NVIDIA Inspector reports the correct values.

    yeah you may be right, but it could also be that only your low or mid clocks have that higher voltage.

    I don't think so , I've never seen these numbers before.
    Anyway , I reverted back to the WHQL 296.10 driver.

    Thank you for your help :)
