Socket 7 voltage pins?

Heya, folks.

I put a K6-2 450 in my Asus P55T2P4, and I saw that you can volt it lower than the manual states by setting multiple jumpers, but I couldn't find exact numbers, so I just kinda did fuzzy math based on the silkscreened voltages on the board to get it down to the 2.2v range my CPU is operating at. I have 4 jumpers set, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8, and 2.9, and the CPU is running, seemingly, perfectly. I have that low-profile copper socket 7 cooler on it that StarTech sells.

I'd like to ensure I'm not running it too high or too low, so how would I go about probing the socket to find what voltage is running to the CPU?

If it a Rev 3.x then you may be running it at 2.0 volts. 2.2v is what it should be running at. this article tells you the jumper settings....http://www.thg.ru/howto/20000725/print.html

Middle pin on corner with notch. Lock socket with a resistor leg in there. Then measure leg to ground

The article by Tom's Hardware on how to run a K6-2+ with a P55T2P4 is still up and is recommended reading.
Edit: beaten.
