Can you explain the voltages in bold compared to the vcore voltage as i don't understand?

I dont think the VCORE voltage is high but the other ones i am worried relate to the same thing as the vcore and i know anything above 1.4 on the cpu is not good for day to day running
 
Solution
You have set core voltage at 1.34v.

Since Pentium MMX, some CPUs have had multiple power planes and it appears the memory controller/cache is set for 1.41v as is the sensor offset (IA). The VID tells you the stock voltage for this is 1.40v so your ASUS board is overvolting it just slightly.
It has been awhile since I have looked at those, I think this has to do with the cache frequencies if I remember correctly. Your motherboard stock settings for that voltage should be fine. So as long as you have not messed with them, then I would not worry about it.

I like to run my v-core below 1.35 volts, so I can see why this looks alarming, but I think it is normal.

The only voltage I changed was the core voltage
