Voltage Checkpoints
These voltage checkpoints are used to measure the current system voltages. A multimeter (not included) will be required to check voltages.

V-Check Connectors
To check the voltage, please use the optional voltage checkpoint cables included in the motherboard package. Attach the positive lead of the multimeter to the voltage checkpoint cable and the negative lead to the ground connector.

Connector | Description |
GND (pin 7) | Ground |
CPU_SA (pin 6) | The CPU_SA (CPU System Agent) voltage is the voltage |
| supplied to the integrated memory controller inside the |
| CPU. |
CPU_RING (pin 5) | The CPU Ring is an interface for integrated controllers |
| inside the CPU. The CPU Ring voltage can affect the CPU |
| overclocking performance. |
CPU_GFX (pin 4) | The CPU_GFX voltage is the voltage supplied to the |
| integrated graphics processor located on the CPU. |
CPU_CORE0 (pin 3) | CPU core0 voltage. The CPU voltage is the voltage |
| supplied to the CPU core. Higher overclocks may require |
| higher CPU core voltages to maintain stability. |
VCC_DDR (pin 2) | Memory voltage. The DDR memory voltage is the voltage |
| supplied to the DDR memory modules on the motherboard. |
| Lower memory timings may require higher voltages to |
| maintain system stability. |
CPU_VCCIN (pin1) | The CPU VCCIN voltage is the CPU power source that is |
| shared with components of the CPU. |
