Hello. My CPU-Z says my stock core voltage is 1.432v

Thats really high! I went into bios. My CPU FSB voltage is 1.40v..and its in red.

My CPU core voltage is 1.45000v

I did not mess with voltages, nor do i even know how to...so why are my voltages so high? Did intel program in voltages wrong? My CPU temps are 28C idle, up to 49C on 100% load.

thanks!

Hi there,

Actually from the cpu website, it says that

VID Voltage Range0.85V-1.5V

http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=29765 http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=29765

So it is still operating within the range. Possibly, you will need to check with the motherboard manufacturer whether there is any information for that: like bios upgrade required, their own monitoring tool rather using CPU - Z.

All the best,

Regards,

Aryan
